Thurs Aug 29 – Montauk Lighthouse Jumbo Porgies & Knothead Sea Bass

Capt Dave reports a good day on the Viking Starship. We had tough conditions to start the trip so we tried out a calm area. There were mostly small fish there. Fishing improved when we found a new spot to anchor up. We caught very good and had nice size Porgies. When conditions became right at the lighthouse we tried it out and had good luck there as well. We headed south offshore a bit for the Sea Bass. There was a mix of Porgies and Sea bass with good size Porgies and a lot of smaller Sea Bass to pick through. A 6 1/2 lb Fluke was also landed. The pool winner was David R from Brooklyn, NY with a 2.6 lb Porgy.
