Night Striped Bass
Capt Steven Jr reports another very slow night bass fishing. With the fishing being so slow locally we ventured over to the Block Island grounds. We moved around to a couple of different areas and never found anything to work on. Hopefully fishing will improve as we get closer to the next full moon!
Half Day Mixed Bag PM
Capt Sarah reports a sea bass massacre this afternoon on the Viking Stariper! We caught a lot of big hungry sea bass and some huge porgies. By the end of the trip we had a boat limit of sea bass and very happy anglers. Both of the pools went to Mark Ganci from Buena, NJ with the first place sea bass at 4.8 lbs and a 6.2 lb bluefish to take the edible pool.
