Second place in the pool went to Erik Hasima with a 4.9 pound Sea Bass.

Captain Jerry reports a fine day fishing on the Viking Star.  We had some young people on the boat, first time anglers who had the rods bending and brought home dinner. We’re pretty sure we have  them “hooked” on fishing. Pool winner was Kenta Nakajima from Woodside NY with a 3.95 pound Scup.  A nice mix of Sea Bass and large Porgies went home with our anglers enjoying this last day of Summer on the Viking Star. Be sure and book your 1/2 Day fishing experience. We still have spots available for September 27th, 28th and 29th and October 11th, 12th and 13th.

Another night hunting the elusive Striped Bass that swims in legal waters! Captain Jerry reports a better night on the Viking Starship. We started out jigging and after dark used live eels. Anglers did bring in some Striped Bass and were especially disappointed when short by an inch or two. We did get a keeper! Our pool winner was Mike Gundolfo of Shirley, NY with a 15 pound Striped Bass. Our second place pool winner was Nathan Calisi of Holtsville, NY with a 9 pound Bluefish. All our anglers enjoyed a beautiful evening on the water catching and releasing Striped Bass and taking home some Bluefish to make smoked fish dip for the holidays. The hunt continues Friday September 27th and Saturday September 28th. We leave the dock at 6PM and return at Midnight. Go to Vikingfleet.com and book online…

Capt Dave reports a decent day on the Viking Starship. The ground swell made for a slower day than we have had lately close to the island. We went offshore for some deeper drops and it was mostly Porgies, some SeaBass and a few Cod. The Porgies were big today and the SeaBass were smaller than they have been. The first place pool winner was Fritz Corbin from Queens, NY with a 2.7 lb Scup. The edible pool winner was Frankie Torrez from Brentwood, NY with a 5.4 lb Cod.

Capt Dave reports fine fishing on the Viking Starship. We had windy and rough conditions, so we anchored up close to Block Island in the calm water. We tried three spots and found plenty of Porgies.

The edible pool winner was Milton Nelson from Long Island, NY with a 3.2 lb SeaBass.
