Fri June 21 to Sun June 23 – Georges Bank Cod & Nantucket Fluke – Viking Fivestar
Captain Steven Jr reports on the Viking Fivestar that they had a phenomenal first day Fluking and a very tough day Cod fishing. We started off on the Nantucket Fluke grounds and had great action all day with some amazing quality sized fish. Most fish averaged 4-6 pounds and we had over 35 fish from 8-10 pounds and 5 fish from 10-12 pounds and a 13.4 pound personal best for angler, Bruce Wahl. By the end of the day everyone had a load of big fluke.
Day 2 we decided to go Cod fishing on Coxes Ledge due to the slow fishing reports coming from anglers on Georges Bank. We didn’t find much better results on Coxes Ledge as they were having on Georges Bank. We covered a lot of ground from 180 feet of water up to 60 feet of water and we seemed to have Dogfish harassing us everywhere we went. We only managed a few Cod keepers and a mess of sharks.
The Fluke fishing on the Nantucket Fluke Grounds is the best you will see anywhere in the Northeast. If you’re looking to target and land your personal best then book on a trip heading to the Nantucket Fluke Grounds. The Viking Fleet has 3 trips already planned aboard the Viking Star leaving Montauk Sunday July 7th, Sunday July 14th and Sunday July 21st. The Viking Fivestar is also available for select dates this summer to target the fish of your choice.
