Capt JR reports a very breezy afternoon of catching on the Viking Star. A stiff wind made us hide in some more sheltered waters. However, we found some quality KEEPER Fluke and ended up having a pretty good trip. Some real quality stuff in the buckets. Sailing daily at 8AM & 1PM. vikingfleet.com

Capt Dave reports a good day on the Viking Starship. It was excellent Porgy fishing by the lighthouse. We anchored up and found mixed size fish and had our limit with one drop. Sea Bass fishing was just fine with everyone retaining their limit. We also found Ling, Whiting and plenty of Mackerel. The pool fish was a Jumbo 3.1 lb Porgy caught by Steve Schwartz.

Captain JR reports a good morning of fishing onboard the Viking Star. We had a nice pick of fluke, sea bass and porgies all trip. Despite the windy conditions we scooped up a very nice variety of KEEPER sized fluke to top off our buckets. Everyone has fish for dinner! The pool winner was Alexander…

Although the whales are still around, Mother Nature had other plans in store for yesterday’s trip. It was raining most of the morning and when we left the dock, but reports indicated a clearing shortly after our departure time. We headed towards the area where we have previously encountered large numbers of humpbacks and other…

Another spectacular day among whales. The visibility was unlimited and we saw whales from five nautical miles away. We saw picket fences of whale blows all across the horizon. When we got to the whales, we spent time with trios (mom, calf, escort), as well as many associated pairs. There were easily 30 humpback whales, and several minke whales around us. This report will be updated as soon as possible with further analysis of photos and data.  

Capt Dave reports a tougher day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. The weather was not great today so, it did make for rougher conditions for some passengers aboard today. We anchored off the lighthouse first thing this morning and had a decent shot of mixed sized Porgies with some good size to a few, but most of them were on the smaller side. We did venture off a bit to do some SeaBass fishing which the weather made it more difficult here, but they were definitely there and biting with fish up to 3 lbs. The pool winner today went to Meri Hope with a 2 lb Porgy. We will be sailing again tomorrow at 5am on our Montauk Jumbo Porgies and SeaBass, our ticket office will be open at 4am.

Capt JR reports a solid day of fishing today off Block Island on the Viking Starlite! The SeaBass bite was a little off this morning, but most anglers did find their limit, with some really nice size to the fish today. The Fluke fishing definitely continued to be quite good with lots of fishing coming…

Capt Dave reports another excellent day of fishing today on the Viking Star. The Porgies we’re really biting today with fish from medium to jumbo in just about every spot we hit. SeaBass fishing was on the slower side with the Porgies really biting their heads off making it hard to target the SeaBass. The…

The tales of dozens of whales continues. The day started out and ending with unlimited visibility, we could ask for better viewing conditions. We were able to see breaches and blows from 5 nautical miles away. Everywhere ahead of us had whales spouting. Most were humpback whales, but a few fin whales were clearly around,…

Captain Mike reports that the first drift of fishing was slow. From then on, every drift was rod-bending mixed bag fishing; the fishing was nonstop. Our big crowd put a lot of giant sea bass and jumbo porgies in the buckets all afternoon. To top that off, we had some nice keeper fluke in the…
