Sun July 14- Whale Watching
Another 4 species day! We headed out to escape from the heat and found our first whales (2 small humpbacks) shortly after we passed the Montauk Lighthouse. We were able to spend some time with one that was flipper slapping and rolling over quite a lot. It was swimming, diving, and feeding in shallow water that was filled from surface to the bottom with Atlantic menhaden (AKA bunker). We eventually left this whale and headed further out. We came across a massive aggregation of 400-500 short-beaked common dolphins. They were everywhere we looked and often groups came to ride our bow wake. The passengers at the bow were able to look down and see and HEAR the dolphins vocalizing! The joy on people’s faces said it all! What a beautiful encounter. Later we briefly encountered a group of bottlenose…
Mon July 15 – Montauk Lighthouse Jumbo Porgies and Sea Bass
Capt Dave reports some very good conditions today fishing on the Viking Starship. Although the Porgies seemed to be on the smaller side of the sizes we’ve been seeing lately, we had lots of action all around the boat with non-stop Porgies from start to finish. After loading up early this morning we found some time to venture off towards Block Island and found a nice pile of SeaBass. We had some really quality fish coming over the rail, up to 4 lbs. We did have a couple keeper Fluke and Mackerell off to the east. The pool winner today went to Mr. Lee from NY with a 3 lb Porgy. We will be sailing again tomorrow for our 5am Montauk Lighthouse Jumbo Porgies and SeaBass!
