Capt Carl reports a slow start to the night on our Full Moon Striped Bass trip, but we did catch some Giant Monster Striped Bass towards the end of it! All the Striped Bass we caught were WAYYYYYY over the slot size limit. We did also have a couple of Bluefish in the mix as…

Capt. Mike reports Pretty steady rod bending all afternoon onboard the Viking Starlite. The bite cooled off a bit from this morning, but we were able to catch and keep several nice sizes of Porgies, Sea Bass and Fluke in the buckets.

Capt Dave reports another day of excellent fishing on the Viking Starship. For a good part of the morning we anchored up hiding from the tide. We got our fill of Porgies around the lighthouse with mostly Larges and some Jumbos mixed in. When we were done Porgy fishing we headed offshore for Sea Bass….

What a wildlife spectacle we witnessed off Montauk yesterday! We always tell passengers how each trip is different and every outing brings with it a special uniqueness, but yesterday’s trip was both familiar and outstanding. Familiar in the sense that we’ve had days at sea like this before, yet exceptional and above and beyond what we ever hope to experience. The trip began with a small pod of Tamanend’s bottlenose dolphins, not far from the lighthouse. As we watched, multiple small pods joined together, first into a group of about twenty, before gaining more individuals into what ultimately became a pod of at least 120 dolphins. It was beautiful to watch their synchronicity and to witness how responsible whale watching pays dividends to all involved; it was as if the dolphins returned their respect for keeping our distance and passively…

Capt Mike reports pretty steady fishing the entire trip on the Viking Star. Rods were bending from the get go. We did not have the large size fish as we did in the morning, but we still put some keeper Fluke, Sea Bass and Porgies in the buckets . The kids caught a lot of…
