Capt JR reports very good fishing this morning  onboard the Viking Star. We found some very good Fluke fishing once again. Lots of KEEPER size Fluke all trip with some beautiful SeaBass in the mix as well. The first place pool winner went to Andrew Krammer from Coram, NY with a 5lb Fluke.

An absolutely majestic day aboard the Viking Starship today. We set sail under clear skies, calm seas, and unlimited visibility. An encounter with a hammerhead shark commenced our adventure, staying near (and long) enough at the surface for all to get a good look. Soon after, a small group of inshore bottlenose dolphins were spotted and enjoyed. As we searched for whales, several large pods of short-beaked common dolphins charged toward and surrounded the boat. A nursery made up of a dozen mother/calf pairs accompanied the large group which swam near, around, and beneath our vessel. A second hammerhead shark was spotted close by while a blow belonging to a humpback whale was observed in the distance. The whale began a series of tail slaps revealing the unique ‘snow white’ undersides of its flukes, which can be used to identify…

Capt Dave reports a great day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. Porgy fishing today was super, we had a nice mix of Porgies ranging in size from mediums, larges and jumbos. We saw a mix of SeaBass around the Lighthouse too, but set out later to the east to our usual SeaBass grounds where we brought in some larger sized Bass. There were a few keeper Fluke on the boat as well. The first place pool winner went to Jose from Jersey with a 2.6 lb Porgy. The edible pool winner went to Phill from Queens with a 3.9 lb SeaBass. We will not be sailing tomorrow for the 5am- Montauk Porgies & SeaBass trip (Monday August 1st.)

Capt Dave reports a fantastic day of fishing aboard the Viking Starship. For the first hour and a half we had lock and load large Porgies coming over the rail. Porgy fishing doesn’t get much better than we had today. When the tide started to run hard we tried for the SeaBass, but they were…

The conditions around the Lighthouse were beautiful this morning and we were able to catch our limit of large Porgies in a few drifts. Worked our way East for SeaBass and had to pick through a lot of small fish, but everyone…
