Fri July 19 – Montauk Lighthouse Jumbo Porgies & Knothead Sea Bass
Capt Dave reports a very good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. This morning’s conditions weren’t great with the heavy flood tide so we started offshore to the east targeting some SeaBass and had a lot of action! We saw a lot of small fish today compared to what we’ve been seeing, but boy were they biting. We had double-triple headers coming over the rails, but only had a few keeper SeaBass in here as well as a good shot of Mackerell. As the tide changed we came back into the local spots and anchored up off the lighthouse and pretty much fished the rest of the day here. Fishing was excellent with a lot of large and jumbo sized Porgies and some SeaBass, but for the most part we had a solid and steady pick of large…

Wed July 17 – Whale Watching
It keeps getting better and better – another 4 species day with dozens of whales! Once again, we headed out to sea and escaped the heat. The visibility was excellent in terms of distance, but hazy. It didn’t matter. Cap’t. Steven D. Forsberg radioed to tell us of “thousands of whales” offshore. It wasn’t thousands,…

Capt. JR reports another enjoyable afternoon of angling onboard the Viking Star. We spent the trip drifting some local rock piles and found SeaBass, Porgies, and Fluke all afternoon.

Thurs July 18 – Montauk Lighthouse Jumbo Porgies & Knothead Sea Bass
Capt Dave reports a productive day of fishing on the Viking Starship. This morning started out difficult with a strong tide in combination with a large ground swell, we tried working one of our usual spots, but the bite seemed to be thrown off, with a lot of little fish coming up. We decided to…
Wed July 17 – 1/2 Day Fishing PM
Capt Carl reports plenty of action on the afternoon half day trip! We had all the usual suspects of Fluke, Sea Bass, and Porgies.

Mon July 15 – Whale Watching Trip
Hungry, Hungry Humpbacks! What an amazing day whale watching aboard the Viking Star! We left the heat of land in favor of cool, ocean breezes traveling approximately ten miles south to an area of reported whale activity. Two blows were spotted, belonging to a pair of humpback whales which turned out to be our first…
Tue July 16 – Montauk Lighthouse Jumbo Porgies & Knothead Sea Bass
Capt Dave reports very good fishing on the Viking Starship. Porgy fishing was excellent by the lighthouse. With the windy conditions we anchored and had nicer fish than we have been seeing come up. They were all decent Larges and Jumbos. After that we headed towards Block Island for Sea Bass. Everyone had their limit with only having to pick through some smaller fish. There were mostly keepers today up to 4 lbs. The pool winner was Jonathan Niranjan from Queens, NY with a 2 1/2 lb Porgy.
