Capt JR reports an action packed trip this morning on the Viking Star. Giant tackle busting Porgies and Sea Bass made up most of our catch. A few Fluke coming over the rail as well. Lots of meat for fish dinners!!! The first place pool winner was Craig Harrigan from Larchmont, NY with a 3.2 lb Sea Bass. The second place pool winner was Gary Owen from Larchmont, NY with a 2.8 lb Sea Bass.

Capt Mike reports a beautiful afternoon spent fishing on the Viking Star for the half day fishing. The weather turned into a gorgeous day on the water with full buckets all around. Conditions where perfect at our spot for large quality Sea Bass, jumbo Porgies with a few keeper Fluke thrown in. The first place pool winner went to Mike McFeely from Rockville Centre with a 4.2 lb SeaBass.

Capt JR reports a more difficult morning of fishing on the Viking Star. The wind made for poor conditions with the boat rolling around, we tried to tuck away out of the wind the best we could, but it still was a rockier morning. We did manage to get a nice pick of Porgies, SeaBass…

Our successful trips continue: 2 humpback whales!   We headed out on a gorgeous day with unlimited visibility and clear skies. We weren’t far out at all when we encountered our first humpback.  This was a small one, perhaps no more than 30′ (9.14 meters) long. A minke whale was spotted briefly also. This young whale never fluked when diving and spent much time logging at the surface. We headed to find more and encountered a whale with propeller scars on its left fluke we’d seen last year, MTK.2021.08.15-04 (AKA NYC 0228). Since last year the prop scar closest to the trailing edge were broken through and we could see through it and could see water flowing through it.  This whale also had what appear to be fresh entanglement scars on its tail stock. This whale is a resilient survivor…

Capt JR reports another great trip on the Viking Star. There was plenty of action all afternoon with a mix of Fluke, Sea Bass and Porgies. Tomorrow is looking beautiful, so come on out and get in on the fun! The pool winner was Zhijiang Yang from NY, NY with a 5 lb Fluke.

Capt JR reports steady action this morning on the Viking Starlite. We started fishing around the shallow rock piles and found some very big Porgies. We moved offshore a bit to some deeper holes and captured lots of SeaBass and a few keeper Fluke to end the trip. The first place pool winner went to Florimond Smoor from Lauchmont, NY with a 4.5 lb Fluke.

Capt Dave reports a fantastic trip today on the Viking Starship. Conditions this morning were beautiful and the fishing was hot. We loaded up on Porgies fishing around the Lighthouse this morning, plenty of large and jumbos. We then made our way east to try for the SeaBass and it was very good fishing. Mostly…
