Fri Aug 2 – Montauk Lighthouse Jumbo Porgies & Knothead Sea Bass

Capt Dave reports great fishing on the Viking Starship. There was a lot of tide by the lighthouse due to the new moon. We drifted and it was very good even in the strong tide. That is when we had the bigger Porgies. When it eased off the fish we had were smaller, so we headed off to the Sea Bass grounds. There were a lot of little ones, but some quality came up giving anglers their limit. We saw nicer fish then we have been seeing. Some Fluke were caught today along with Mackerel and the first showing of Bluefish. Tyrone Balgon from NJ won the first place pool with a 2.2 lb Porgy. The edible pool winner was Orlando Saravia from Scranton, PA with a 4.2 lb Sea Bass.
