Mon Dec 16- Block Island Mixed Bag
Captain Dave reports a slow day on the Viking Starship. We started out near Block Island and were not happy with the bite. We sailed East and had some better luck. The water was very dirty from recent storms. Our anglers had a lot of missed bites and light bites and drop-offs. We did manage a handful of Porgies,some Sea Bass and some smaller Cod than we have been seeing. Plenty of Ling and Whiting at every drop. No trip tomorrow due to increasing winds and low visibility. Weather looks favorable for later in the week and over the weekend.
