Mon July 31 – Montauk Lighthouse Jumbo Porgies & Knothead Sea Bass

Capt Dave reports a slow started today fishing on the Viking Starship. We started off the morning fishing for Porgies in some of our usual spots, but the fish just didn’t seem to be biting the same, we saw a lot of little stuff with a handful or decent sized fish this morning. We then moved over near the Lighthouse where we got into some better fishing with more medium and large sized fish showing up, and only a few jumbos. We managed to boat a 3-4 keeper Fluke around there as well as as some Mackerell. After getting a decent pick we worked our way into the SeaBass grounds to finish the day, the SeaBass seemed to be on the smaller side today as well, but everyone did seem to get a couple nice ones. Our pool winner today was Pavlos Devaris visiting from Greece with a 2 3/4 lb Porgy. We definitely will be sailing again tomorrow (Tuesday, August 1st) on the our 5am Montauk Porgies and SeaBass.
