Quincy Flounder Report

[Little Sister Charters]

A little better today (05/09/15) with 10 fish but had only two fishermen aboard, the other two had to bow out last night (explosive diarrhea)...
first spot - 1
2nd spot - 0
3rd spot - 0
4th spot - 3
5th spot (same as #3) - 0
6th spot (anchor/chum) - 0
7th spot (#3 again) - 6

The difference seems to be that at the last stop the sun finally appeared and we caught a few. Perhaps tomorrow with sun predicted the whole trip???? We will see!

12 fish kept today, very slow to say the least. While we have shown "somewhat steady improvement", it is not in the leaps and bounds I was hoping for. I can't blame the water temperature or maybe I can. My friend Captain Roger insists that with the warm weather the past week the surface temps are much warmer than the bottom temps. I sure hope he is right!
For open boat there is one spot left for the 14th and the 12th, 19th and 21st are all full. Please book as far in advance for open boat trips as you can.

Today I had out "Old Goat" and "Mattapoisett" for a flounder expedition and we had the best trip of the spring so far. We kept 19 flounder between the three of us and the fish were eating better than the past couple of weeks in spite of the overcast/east wind conditions we had most of the trip. A very good sign to say the least!

Great report Jayson I love reading about the Flounder for a change.

05/13/15:

Today I started with "low expectations" because the wind was honking out of the NW and such a wind can often shut down a good bite. Today seemed to pick up where yesterday left off with the crew of Perry Construction of Newberryport going home with their flounder limit. Bill, Joey and Vito had a ball with the Tsunami Sapphire flounder rods we deployed today. I started cutting when we were up to 18 fish (pictured) and they sure didn't need any help from me to get what they got! No monsters but a good run of 13-17 inch fish with several smaller legal fish returned as well. It should be pretty safe to say we can expect limits from here on.
Open boat trips (Tuesday and Thursday mornings) are full the rest of the month. If you want to jump aboard for such a trip it would be a good idea to schedule it well in advance.

Tomorrows open boat is sure to be great as the weather is forecasted to be fantastic-I can't wait!

Today couldn't have been better! Beautiful weather, great people and fantastic fishing; what more can anyone hope for? We started at Rainsford and were catching very steadily with 3 to 5 fish a drift. We were calling the size 13 inches and up and quickly went to 14 inches when I realized the pace we were setting. By the time the 1st flurry eased off we had 30 fish in the box and it was only 8am...

With 6 people (plus me) we could have taken 56 fish but I was determined to save my limit for the afternoon trip so I figured these guys didn't need "my help" and when we got to DIF I started cutting fish while they resumed bailing fish and releasing the ones under 15 inches (unless they were bleeding). While that bite was going on we got the biggest flounder I've seen (so far) this season at 18.5 inches (2 3/4 lbs).

During that melee a few stripers, the 1st of the year, also jumped into the boat but they were all short at 20-24 inches.
I then had people that wanted to go out for the afternoon and that was a continuation of the mornings bite:

The afternoon limited out quick (by 2 pm!!!) and were "quite done". To say we had happy campers today would be an understatement! Best yet, with the up tick in sizes we saw today, things look very positive for the Santini Contest on Saturday. I'm really looking forward to that!
