Montauk

Capt Derek reports a good afternoon on the Viking Fivestar. We started off on the south side with a slow drift. It didn’t avail to much so we went up to the north and found the scup. There was plenty of action and nice size Porgies with some keeper SeaBass mixed in.

Capt Dave G reports a very good afternoon of fishing aboard the Viking Star. We did much better than this morning. We ended up with plenty of Porgies, Bluefish and a couple Jumbo SeaBass. The pool winner was Larry Silverman from Amagansett, NY with a 3 lb SeaBass.

Capt Dave reports phenomenal Porgy fishing on the Viking Starship. The early drop was very very good, but there were only a handful of SeaBass. We went looking for the SeaBass, but we only found a few with Porgies mixed in. We also had 1 Cod, short Striped Bass, Bluefish, Fluke, and some Green Bonitos. The first place pool winner was George Reid from PA with a 2.9 lb Scup. The edible pool winner was Billy Lau from Brooklyn, NY with a 5.6 lb Cod.

Capt Dave G reports a slow morning of fishing aboard the Viking Star. We had a beautiful morning but the bite was slower than we have been seeing. Still we managed to put together a catch of Porgies, SeaBass and a couple Fluke. The pool winner was Mary Howard from East Hampton, NY with a 4.5 lb Fluke.

Capt Derek reports a good morning on the Viking Fivestar. We started out drifting by the lighthouse with jigs and eels and picked away at small Bluefish and short Striped Bass. We managed two decent keeper Striped Bass along with a few SeaBass and Porgies mixed in.

Capt Dave reports very good fishing today on the Viking Starship. We drifted in one area all day and found everything we needed. It was a good pick of large Porgies and SeaBass. The winner of both pools today was Lennie Owes from Brooklyn, NY with a 3 lb Porgy and a 4.5 lb SeaBass.

Capt Dave reports much improved fishing on the Viking Starship. We started out early around the island drifting until it got fast, then we made a few anchor drops. The fishing was good with some big SeaBass. We went back to drifting and it was very good with mostly large and jumbo Porgies and SeaBass. We also had two keeper Striped Bass and some throwbacks. The first place pool winner was Michael Hill with a 3.1 lb Porgy. The edible pool winner was Marua Roberts from Brooklyn, NY with a 29 1/2″ – 7.5 lb Striped Bass.

Capt Dave reports the toughest day the Viking Starship has had in a long while. There was a giant ground swell on and the water was dirty. We marked them and worked hard at it, but they just didn’t want to bite. After trying a bunch of drifts and anchoring we ended up with some Porgies, a few nice SeaBass, and a couple of Cod. The first place pool winner was Sing Wong from Manhattan with a 3.4 lb Porgy. The edible pool winner was Philip Marinos with a SeaBass.

Captain Dave reports a light crowd and excellent fishing on the the Viking Starship today. We anchored on the West side of Block Island to start.  The increasing winds made drifting a less desirable option.  We had a nice pick of Porgies and Sea Bass.  When the tide changed we did 2 drops on the South side of Block Island.  We had excellent Sea Bass from these two drops many of them in the 4.5- 5 pound range.  In our last drop we went back to the West side and had lots and lots of large to Jumbo Porgies.  All in all an excellent day. Only one pool today with a light crowd.  Charles Small of Brooklyn NY won the pool with a 3.6 pound Scup.

A good afternoon fishing report comes from Captain Jerry on the Viking Star.  We faced a few challenges this afternoon with the wind picking up and a strong current near the Montauk Lighthouse but were able to put together an excellent catch of keeper Porgies, Sea Bass and Bluefish. All our anglers saw lots of action though we did have to pick through the Sea Bass shorts.  We had some visitors that had never been fishing before and enjoyed catching a variety of fish, some keepers and some shorts and were especially excited to bring a dogfish on board. The pool winner today was Rich Bayer of Ronkonkoma NY with a 3.75 pound Porgy.
