Thurs Oct 17 – Block Island Fall Jumbo Porgies & Knothead Sea Bass

Capt Dave reports a decent day of fishing on the Viking STARSHIP. With the strong tides roaring from the Hunter’s Full Moon, we started our morning offshore in the deeper water and got onto a decent pile of SeaBass. Unfortunately, we didn’t see much Porgy action out here, but we pick away at some nice SeaBass till the tide eased up a bit and we got to head back into the shallows. Once we get settled back closer to the island we got into some mixed sized Porgies, mostly medium, nothing to large, but a couple decent fish in there. Overall, it was a decent day, but the tide kept us out of the areas we really wanted to be in. The first prize pool winner went to Juan Marroquin from Freeport, NY with a 2.1 lb Porgy. The edible pool winner went to Mr. Lee from Queens, NY with a 4 lb SeaBass. We will definitely be sailing again tomorrow at 5am for our Block Island Jumbo Porgies and SeaBass on the Viking Starship.
