Capt Dave reports great fishing on the Viking Starship. It was breezy to start so we anchored up and had good size Porgies with some SeaBass mixed in. The tide started running hard so we tucked up close to Block Island and anchored again. Once you hit bottom you got ’em! There were medium to large Porgies, some SeaBass and Striped Bass. When the tide and wind eased we tried a couple of drifts and it was very good! The pool winner was Dimas Soto from Central Islip, NY with a 2.6 lb Porgy.

Capt Dave G reports a good morning of fishing aboard the Viking Star in breezy conditions. The northeast wind made for difficult drifting, but we managed to put together a nice catch of sea bass and porgies. The pool winner was Dominick Totin from the Bronx with a 4 lb SeaBass.

Capt Derek reports a good morning on the Viking Fivestar. The trip started off good with nice big SeaBass with some jumbo Scup mixed in. We had to make a move when the tide changed and the conditions became difficult with wind against tide. We managed to get quite a few more keeper SeaBass.

Capt Dave reports good fishing on the Viking Starship. We first headed out to the SeaBass grounds and we did one deep drop with solid SeaBass. They were mostly smaller fish with some keepers and one lonely Porgy. We then went close to Block Island and got in two drifts before it got windy and had to anchor. It was then a steady Porgy and SeaBass bite with nice size fish that made the day. There was a tie for the pool between Mike Kwok from Jersey City, NJ and Milton Nelson from Deer Park, Long Island with 2.15 lb Porgies.

Capt Dave reports a good day on the Viking Starship. We started off to the east at our SeaBass spot and it was much better than yesterday. We found it pretty decent in the deep water with a good mix of Porgies and SeaBass. You had to pick through the small SeaBass, but everyone managed a few there. We then went off and tried closer to Block Island where it was Red Hot! We had Big Porgies and mixed size SeaBass. The pool winner was Jeff Greenbaum from Yonkers with a 2.7 lb Scup. The daily Block Island Fall Jumbo Porgy & Knothead SeaBass will begin on Saturday September 14th. The trip departs at 5am and returns at 3pm and the fare is $110.

Captain Dave reports a little more difficult day on the Viking Starship than we have had recently.  The turbulence on the sea floor near the Montauk Lighthouse has yet to settle since Dorian moved by on Friday.   We did go East and tried a good deep zone less affected.  Unfortunately, the Porgy bite seemed off and only a handful of keepers came back to the dock.  It was a banner day for Sea Bass though.  Everyone got their limit of keeper Sea Bass.  The pool winner was Alfred Manning of Brooklyn, N.Y. with a 2.6 pound Scup. Anglers mark your calendars!  We will begin Block Island Fall Jumbo Porgies and Knothead Sea Bass trips daily this Saturday September 14th.  We leave the Viking Fleet dock at 5 A.M. and return at 3 P.M. in the afternoon.  This is a…
