Fri July 19 – Montauk Lighthouse Jumbo Porgies & Knothead Sea Bass

Capt Dave reports a very good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. This morning’s conditions weren’t great with the heavy flood tide so we started offshore to the east targeting some SeaBass and had a lot of action! We saw a lot of small fish today compared to what we’ve been seeing, but boy were they biting. We had double-triple headers coming over the rails, but only had a few keeper SeaBass in here as well as a good shot of Mackerell. As the tide changed we came back into the local spots and anchored up off the lighthouse and pretty much fished the rest of the day here. Fishing was excellent with a lot of large and jumbo sized Porgies and some SeaBass, but for the most part we had a solid and steady pick of large Porgies. The pool winner today went to Neptali Trasporte from Berganfield, NJ with a JUMBO 3.5 LB Porgy. The edible place pool winner went to Rod Oden from Centereach, NY with a 3.7 lb SeaBass. We are definitely sailing again tomorrow (Saturday, July 19th) at 5am, this trip is filling up, so make sure to book ahead of time and secure your spot for this Montauk Lighthouse Jumbo Porgies and SeaBass trip!
