Montauk

Captain JR reports a slower afternoon onboard the Viking Star. The change of tide this afternoon didn’t seem to help us much. We had a couple striped bass, a few porgies, and a handful of sea bass. Not as exciting as our morning trip, but still a nice afternoon. The pool winner was Gianna Defranco…

Captain Dave reports an excellent morning on the water. Fishing by the Lighthouse was great, with a steady pick of keeper Porgies and Sea Bass throughout the trip. Congratulations to our pool winner, Orlando Montes of Philadelphia, PA, who landed a 2.5-pound Porgy! We look forward to seeing everyone again tomorrow.

Captain JR reports a breezy, but successful morning onboard the Viking Star. We started out targeting Fluke, Sea Bass, and Porgies but the conditions were not favorable. We switched over to jigs and found lots of hungry Striped Bass. We landed all sizes with quite a few slot sized fish for dinner. A very enjoyable…

Capt Dave reports another good morning on the Viking Starlite! Fishing was very good first thing with plenty of good size Porgies and some Bluefish.

Capt Dave reports a good morning on the Viking Starlite. We had a nice shot of decent size Porgies early with a good mix of Bluefish. When the tide started running hard by the lighthouse we went down the beach. We found smaller Porgies there. It was great to have better fishing than we have…

Capt Dave reports pretty much the same results of our last few trips. There were a lot of little Porgies resulting in a bunch of throwbacks. We did have a few nice size Porgies along with a Sea Bass, Weakfish and dogfish. No pool today. We will be sailing at 5AM tomorrow. Book online at…

We found them!! Dolphins, pelagic birds, and finback whales!! On a day with good visibility, comfortable and sometimes cold conditions, we were successful finding several aggregations of Tamanend’s bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops erebennus) groups in the near shore waters just south of Montauk Point. After encountering 150-200 Tamanend’s bottlenose dolphins, we decided to search further to…

Captain Steven Sr. reports an excellent offshore Tilefish and Fluke trip. On the first day, our crew set sail for the Tilefish grounds and found plenty of action. Our crew reeled in lots of quality Tilefish, Pollock, and several Barrelfish throughout the day. Fishing improved even more on the second day. We were absolutely hammered…

Capt. Dave reports that the fishing was better today than yesterday, but still on the slower side. We caught mostly nice size fish with everybody bringing in some keepers. The pool winner was Edward S. from Buffalo, NY with a 2.8 lb Porgy.
