Sat Oct 5 – Block Island Fall Jumbo Porgies & Knothead Sea Bass

Capt Dave reports a pretty good day of fishing today on the Viking Star. Conditions were perfect today as we fished close to the island. Our first drift was our longest drift, as it lasted for close to 2 and a half hours with a nice steady mixed bag pick. We saw fish of all sizes on this drift with some nice medium to large sized Porgies, no jumbos but definitely some larger ones in the mix. We did have some good size SeaBass today, but still had to pick threw a lot of little SeaBass, as well as the Mackerell. We did make a couple moves to try to get on some larger fish, but had pretty much the same pick at each drop. The first prize pool winner went to Javier Molina from New York, NY with a 3 lb Porgy. The edible pool winner went to Trevor Whyte from Manhattan, NY with a 4 lb SeaBass. We are sailing again at 5am for our Block Island Porgies and SeaBass tomorrow on the Viking Star, the check-in will start at 4am.
