Capt Dave reports a good trip on the Viking Starship. It was as slow start, so we did a lot of searching. We did find something to work on and picked away at Porgies and Sea Bass by the lighthouse. Everyone had a bunch of Porgies and a few Sea Bass. The pool winner was…

Captain Mike reports a trip filled with steady action. Our crew put plenty of nice keeper Sea Bass and Porgies in our buckets. It was a very pleasant morning on the water. Congratulations to our pool winner, Ryan Cohen, from Syosset, NY, who caught a 3 lb Sea Bass.

Capt JR reports a slower afternoon onboard the Viking Star. The breeze made it difficult to return to our more prosperous grounds from this morning. But, we searched around and found some Sea Bass, Fluke, and Porgies to keep us busy. The pool winner was John P0llegra from NJ with a 3.8 lb Fluke.

Capt Dave reports a decent day on the Viking Starship. We tried something different today and headed to the west side of Block Island. Unfortunately it was too early. There was a lot of action, but it was with small Porgies & Sea Bass. Everyone only managed a few nice ones there. We headed back…

Captain JR reports a mixed night of fishing onboard the Viking Star. Like the previous night, fishing started out red hot with lots of giant Blues bending all the rods. The action continued until the darkness took over and things slowed down significantly. We definitely had lots of fun for a couple hours and spirits…

Only two days after Hurricane Erin stirred up nearly 20-ft seas off Montauk, we headed off unsure of what we may or may not encounter. Shortly after steaming beyond the inlet, we encountered a small pod of Tamanend’s bottlenose dolphin, a species we typically find much closer to the open ocean beyond the Point. We continued on after a short stop and found a humpback whale just a couple of miles southwest of Camp Hero State Park. We spent time with this whale, a juvenile, which would surface every three to four minutes, likely feeding on bait detected near the bottom. We eventually headed east where humpback and finback whales were spotted the day prior. Almost immediately, more Tamanend’s bottlenose dolphins were spotted, in small groups at first, not exceeding 20-30 individuals per pod. This continued for a few miles…
