Capt Dave G reports a very very good afternoon of fishing aboard the Viking Star. The rods started bending on the first drift and didn’t stop until it was time to go home. We had jumbo Porgies, big SeaBass and a lot of short Fluke in the mix, with a few keepers. The pool winner…

Another spectacular 3 species trip! Humpbacks, minkes, and inshore bottlenose dolphins! We couldn’t have asked for better conditions – unlimited visibility, 10-15 knot winds out of the NW, and 2′ seas that later flattened out as the wind changed to SW. Within 20 minutes of passing Montauk Lighthouse we were on our first whale, MTK.2021.08.15-01, a flipper slapping, rolling humpback (Megaptera novaeangliae). 20 minutes later, we are visited by a small ocean sunfish (Mola mola). 20 minutes later, we  meet our 2nd humpback and our 3rd humpback a few minutes after that. 20 minutes later, we encounter our 4th humpback.  It’s a young whale (small) and has survived an encounter with a propeller that left terrible scars on its left fluke. It was resting periodically and feeding, but it looked to be unwell and weak, or so we thought, due…

Capt Dave reports very good fishing on the Viking Starship. At the lighthouse we had mixed size Porgies from mediums to jumbo with plenty of action. The SeaBass grounds were loaded with Porgies and smaller SeaBass, but everyone was able to get their keep of larges to jumbos. There was also a handful of keeper Fluke. The first place pool winner was Marcy Laino from Mt. Vernon, NY with a 2.4 lb Porgy. The edible pool winner was Michael Murray from New Providence, PA with a 3.3 lb SeaBass. The trip for tomorrow, Wednesday Aug 18 is CANCELLED.

Capt JR reports that this afternoon’s trip saw a good pick of Porgies and SeaBass. After we had our fill of those we explored some new areas and found some very nice KEEPER Fluke. The most keepers we have had all month. Lots of meat onboard. The pool winner was Tony Cappo from East Hampton,…

Capt Dave reports a good day on the Viking Starship. Drifting by the lighthouse resulted in mostly smaller Porgies, so we headed down the beach a bit and anchored on a rock pile. There we had a slow steady pick of mostly large Porgies with some Jumbos. Offshore SeaBassing was good, but you had to…

Capt JR reports great trip this morning on the Viking Star. Lots of action all over the boat. Big Porgies and Sea Bass were the main source of excitement bending rods at a furious pace. Anglers also captured a few very nice large fluke to top off their buckets. Pool winner was 10 year old…

Today’s…
