Captain Dave reports near perfect conditions drifting near the Montauk Lighthouse today on the Viking Starship. Most of our anglers got their limit of Porgies in just a couple of hours. We then traveled to the East and anglers brought on some quality Sea Bass but not in the numbers we have seen recently. The drift was a little fast out East, but anglers managed to make the most of it, bringing aboard a variety of fish including a keeper Striped Bass. First place in the Porgy pool went to Jose Hernandez of NY, NY with a 2.60 pound Scup and 1st place in the edible pool went to Ed Jordan of Freeport, NY with a 14.7 pound Striped Bass.

Captain Dave reports from the Viking Starship. An unbelievably good day fishing. First drift near the Montauk Lighthouse lasted 2 hours with solid fishing and most anglers getting their limit of quality large and Jumbo Porgies. We then traveled a bit East and rods were bending continuously. We had to pick through a few Sea Bass to get some big fat keepers.

First place in the pool was a tie, anglers Alina Hoxah and Tirana Albania from East Hampton both caught 3.55 pound Sea Bass. Second place in the pool went to George Williams of Uniondale, NY with a 2.25 pound Scup.
