Captain Dave reports fishing conditions that were 1000% better than yesterday. We started off by the Lighthouse where we caught a nice mix of Porgies, Bluefish, and Sea Bass. A little further out we were able to find a Jumbo Porgy hotspot. We had mostly large fish today. Congratulations to our pool winner, Abel Najera…

Captain JR reports the Saturday night striped bass and blue fish trip started out with a bang! Loads of big blues and a couple striped bass kept everyone very busy early in the trip. The action definitely slowed down after sunset, but we had loads of fun for the first couple hours. The pool winner…

Capt. Mike reports that conditions were not ideal beginning of the trip.  The wind tapered off and rods started bending!  We had steady action the last half of the afternoon with Seabass, Porgies and a few Fluke in the buckets! Ended up being a nice afternoon on the water. The pool winner was John Concannon…

Capt Dave reports a harder day than usual on the Viking Starship. We had to look around a lot because of the water quality after Hurricane Erin, which was to be expected. We got in a few drifts, but is was pretty picky. We expect much improvement tomorrow. The first place pool winner was Anderson John with a 3.8 lb Porgy. The edible pool winner was Carlos Olayzola with a 7 lb Weakfish.

Capt JR reports a slightly tougher afternoon onboard the Viking Star. Early in the trip we found lots of life, but the size was definitely smaller than we had on our morning excursion. However, we forged on and found some improvement locating  better size Sea Bass, Fluke, and Porgies to throw in the buckets. Definitely…

Another successful trip with 5 species of cetaceans and a loggerhead sea turtle! A rich diversity of marine mammals and sea turtles were seen during today’s trip on the Viking Starship. The capacity crowd got to see things that many had never seen before. We headed to the same area where we’ve been seeing whales and…

Capt Dave reports good fishing on the Viking Starship. The early morning by the lighthouse was very good with the flood tide. We made a few different drops and we found fish on all of them. When the ebb tide turned on dirty water came in and it got picky. We had plenty of Porgies,…
