Sat Aug 31 – Full Day Block Island Fluke & Sea Bass
Captain JR reports a good day on the Viking Starlite. It would have been an awesome day, but the sea bass fishing was so good it hindered our fluke hunt. Excellent and nonstop sea bass fishing EVERYWHERE. The bait wasn’t on the hooks long enough to give the fluke a chance to bite. But couldn’t…
Sat Aug 31 – Montauk Lighthouse Jumbo Porgies & Knothead Sea Bass
Capt Dave reports an excellent day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. Conditions weren’t the best with the strong New Moon tide ripping, but fishing was just fine. We started our morning down the beach Porgy fishing and has some good action with mixed sized fish. As the tide started coming in heavy we ventured offshore and had a nice mix of medium- large Porgies and SeaBass. SeaBass was better than it’s been with more quality to the size. We did find some Trigger fish, about half a dozen keeper Fluke, and some Mackerell out in the deeper water. To finish off our trip we ended back at the lighthouse for about an hour and a half and got onto some larger sized Porgies. The first prize pool winner went to Santos Constanza from Hillsboro, Maryland with a 2.6…

FRI Aug 30- Whale Watching- Star
For the last trip of August, the whales (and waves) had us working a bit harder than usual, reminding us of the changing seasons and the fortunes previously bestowed upon us throughout this summer. We headed south towards the general area where the humpbacks have previously been encountered, but there were no whales to be found. We did enjoy views of Cory’s and Great shearwaters, and of Wilson storm petrels flying and hunting while we searched. Winds made spotting of blows difficult so we didn’t find the whales until we were much closer to them than usual (less than half a mile) but that was when we realized that not only did we find them, there were 8-10 to be found! These were all humpbacks, at first moving quickly in all directions around and beyond the vessel. Capt. JR expertly…
Fri Aug 30- 1/2 Day Fishing PM
Capt Mike reports more difficulty this afternoon on the Viking Starlite. The wind continued to be an issue although fishing was steady. Anglers still managed a good pick of fish and filled their buckets with a mixed bag of Sea bass, Porgies and some nice keeper Fluke. The first prize pool winner went Mel Sobel from Brooklyn, NY with a 3.8 lb SeaBass. The second prize pool winner went to James Watkins from Syosset, NY with a 3.2 lb SeaBass.
