Capt Dave reports great fishing on the Viking Starship. We had excellent conditions to start the trip with mostly large Porgies at the lighthouse. We had to go down the beach to get out of the tide and had a slow pick of mixed size Porgies with Sea Bass, Fluke and Bluefish mixed in. The…

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…

Capt. Dave reports a fantastic start this morning with very good Porgy fishing. We dropped the anchor a couple times and were very successful at each drop.

Another exceptional trip for Viking/CRESLI is in the books! With sunny skies, a refreshing breeze, and incredible visibility, it was already a great trip when we encountered a small pod of Tamanend’s bottlenose dolphins close to shore. We spent some time with them, but wanted to move on with reports of humpbacks to our south. After spotting a couple of blows and seeing flukes (of diving whales) at the surface, we knew we found at least two humpbacks, but the surprise was on us as they suddenly appeared at the surface open-mouth feeding on the rich bait detected below. These whales were bubble-net feeding, a coordinated effort where a circular (spiral) ring of bubbles is created to confuse and corral small schooling fish such as sand eels, and they were doing it again and again, all around us as the…
