Capt Steven Sr reports a decent day on the Viking Starlite. The Block Island Fluke are still elusive, but we did manage some keepers and a bunch of shorts. Sea Bass were abundant in all sizes. We will be sailing on Sunday for this trip. Look for additional trips to be added to the schedule…

Capt Dave reports an excellent trip on the Viking Starship. We started out east of the lighthouse and had our best fishing of the day first thing. There were mostly large Porgies with keeper Sea Bass in the mix. When the tide started running hard we moved under the lighthouse and had great action with mixed size Porgies. There were about 1/2 dozen keeper Fluke there also. We ran offshore looking for some more Sea Bass. There were a bunch of small ones to pick through along with nice size Porgies. The pool winner was Lloyd Stewart from Brooklyn, NY with a 2 1/2 lb Porgy.

Capt Dave reports another pretty decent day of fishing today.

We eventually…

It was a beautiful, crisp day to search for whales and dolphins. Although we originally planned to head offshore, our plans were interrupted by a blow belonging to a juvenile humpback whale not far from shore beyond the lighthouse. While waiting for this individual to surface, two additional blows were spotted, and we were suddenly treated to a close approach by the first whale immediately ahead of our bow allowing great views by everyone near the front of the vessel. While we then planned to investigate the additional two whales (also humpbacks), a large splash drew us to a fourth humpback which was breaching and flipper slapping nearby. We spent time with this whale before seeing even more splashing from a fifth individual approximately a mile away. We headed towards the activity watching this single whale breach 19 consecutive times…

Sun Sept 8 – 1/2 Day Fishing PM Capt Carl reports a slower afternoon on our 1/2 day trip. The water got dirty, the wind came up, and the bite was tough. We still managed some Fluke, Sea Bass, and Porgies to keep for our anglers, but it was slower then the morning. There was no pool on the boat this afternoon.
