Sun June 23 – Montauk Lighthouse Jumbo Porgies & Sea Bass

Capt Dave reports a not too bad of a day of fishing on the Viking Starship. We faced some difficulty with conditions today that seemed to throw the bite off a bit, each drop would start off strong for the first few minutes until it dropped out and we repeated this for a few drifts catching mixed sizes of Porgies. After a bit of fishing this area we went offshore to one of the wrecks and it was loaded with SeaBass. Opening day prevailed and in between picking through some smaller stuff a lot of anglers found their limit on keeper sized SeaBass. To end the trip we went to one of our usual spots and finished off with a few more SeaBass and some large and jumbo Porgies. The Porgy pool winner went to Frank Ortiz from Madison, NJ with a 3 lb Porgy. The SeaBass pool winner went to Paul from Englewood, NJ with a 4 1/2 lb SeaBass. We WILL be sailing again tomorrow (Monday, June 24th) at 5am for our Montauk Lighthouse Jumbo Porgies and SEABASS. The ticket office will be open at 4am.
