Like we have been seeing, some very nice keeper Fluke added to the action and topped off the catch. The pool winner was Lauren Tristam from…

Capt Dave reports very good fishing on the Viking Starship. Porgy fishing at the lighthouse is fantastic with really nice size fish.

Fin Whale Nirvana! There has been a certain level of magic with our whale watching trips this season. Every trip is different, but this year, each trip is very different from the last and we lay witness to beautiful and unexpected encounters at sea. Yesterday was no exception, but for a short while, it did not feel that way. Our sunny skies turned gray shortly after leaving the dock and there was a strong, gusty wind with a bit of chop. The usual sightings of bottlenose dolphins near the lighthouse were lacking and as we headed south towards an area where whales and dolphins were bountiful on previous trips, we saw few birds and no cetaceans. Then we headed east, putting the strong wind to our back, and turning toward sunny skies as if a switch had been flipped. Almost…

Capt. Dave reports a good start to the morning with really good Porgy fishing. We were catching some mixed size fish, a lot of smalls but ended up with a good amount of keepers. When the tide started to change we decided to go over to Block Island for some Seabass, and we had to…

Captain JR reports a good morning of fishing onboard the Viking Star. We had to venture a bit farther from home than we generally do, but it was worth the extra effort as we found loads of action. Lots of Seabass, giant Porgies, and Fluke kept us very busy at the rail. We also found…
