Sun Dec 15 – Schedule Update
Capt Dave is excited to be going fishing tomorrow on the Viking Starship. The weather looks favorable, light winds and diminishing seas, and the fishing has been good. A real mixed bag …. Porgy, Sea Bass, Cod, Pollock, Ling, Cunners, Whiting and Bluefish are all to be had this month and all caught on the Viking Starship. Office opens at 4AM and we leave the dock at 5AM for a full day of fishing.
Fri Dec 13 – Block Island Mixed Bag
Capt Carl reports a very very tough day of fishing on the Viking Starship. The Southeast wind was much stronger than forecasted making for some big swells. That combined with the Full Moon tide made things very difficult. We made a lot of drops with barely anything to show for it. Steven Trifari from Glen Oaks, NY took the pool with a 9 lb Cod. The weather this weekend looks like we will stay tied to the dock, but we are looking forward to the next nice day (possibly Monday) so we can get back out there! We will keep you posted!!

Wed Dec 11 – 30 to 50 Mile Wreck – Viking Fivestar
Capt Steven Jr reports a very tough day of fishing the wrecks. We started deeper and had blizzard like conditions. We managed a few big SeaBass, but we didn’t have the numbers we have been seeing. We worked our way inshore where there were better conditions, but slower fishing. Overall a rough and tough day.

Sun Dec 7- Nantucket Wrecks Christmas Cod/Sea Bass/Hake/Pollock
Capt Steven Sr reports our annual Xmas Nantucket Wreck fishing trip was as good as it could possibly get on the Viking Starship. From the first drop to the last every angler was kept busy. The first drop was insane with everyone pulling aboard multiple market-sized Cod, each one 26-28 inch or larger. The second and third drops saw a nice mix of Sea Bass and Pollock. The fourth drop we found “humpbacks”- Jumbo Sea Bass- many exceeding 5 pounds. A very competitive pool in every category! First place in the Cod pool went to Martin Wellen Dowd from Yorkville, Manhattan with a 12 pound Cod. First place in the Sea Bass pool went to Roman Stolyarchuk of Morristown, NJ with a 6 pound jumbo. Edible pool winner was Michael Bunch from Flanders, NY with a 10 pound Pollock.
Sun Dec 8 – Block Island Jumbo Porgies and Knothead Sea Bass
Capt Dave reports another good day on the Viking Star. Cold temperatures but almost flat calm seas and light winds made for an almost perfect day of fishing. We had a steady pick of large to jumbo Porgies all day and about 30 Cod on board and quite a few Mackerel. Sea Bass were thinner than they have been, but everyone went home with plenty of Scup and half of Viking Fleet anglers also had Cod. Rony Martinez of Uniondale NY won the Porgy pool with a 3.8 pound Porgy and Qing Yang won the edible pool with a 19 pound Cod. The Block Island Jumbo Porgies and Knothead Sea Bass trip tomorrow, Monday Dec. 9 has been cancelled for weather.
Sun Dec 8 – Block Island Cod/Sea Bass/ Blackfish – Viking Fivestar Private Charter
Capt Steven Jr reports a tough day overall on the Viking Fivestar. We had picky fishing most of the day until the end where we had a good shot at Sea Bass and Cod. We started off Blackfishing and it was very quiet with only a handful of small fish and a couple Cod. We didn’t find anything to work on until the end of the day when everyone on board got a bunch of Sea Bass. We did see a few Cod everywhere we went so things are looking good for Cod this Winter. Our next trip out is Wednesday December 11th, a 30-50 mile wreck trip and the weather is looking perfect. We only have 2 spots open on this popular trip….so give us a call at 631-668-5700 to reserve your spot.
