Captain Mike reports a good morning on the Viking Stariper. We had steady action all morning with good drifts and all anglers catching. We had a few Porgies, some keeper Fluke and plenty of Sea Bass shorts and a few Sea Bass keepers. Today’s pool winner was Donn Rocco of Centereach NY with a 3 1/2 pound Fluke.  

Capt Dave reports perfect conditions on the Viking Star today. We had a great drift at the lighthouse and picked away all morning putting a great catch together. The Porgies were mostly large and jumbo up to 3 1/2 lbs. We made a SeaBass stop on the way back finding a lot of little fish, but everyone had their limit with fish up to 5 lbs. There were also 2 keeper Fluke and a bunch of throwbacks. We did not have a pool today.

Captain Steven Jr reports on the Viking Fivestar that they had a phenomenal first day Fluking and a very tough day Cod fishing.  We started off on the Nantucket Fluke grounds and had great action all day with some amazing quality sized fish.  Most fish averaged 4-6 pounds and we had over 35 fish from 8-10 pounds and 5 fish from 10-12 pounds and a 13.4 pound personal best for angler, Bruce Wahl.  By the end of the day everyone had a load of big fluke. Day 2 we decided to go Cod fishing on Coxes Ledge due to the slow fishing reports coming from anglers on Georges Bank.  We didn’t find much better results on Coxes Ledge as they were having on Georges Bank.  We covered a lot of ground from 180 feet of water up to 60 feet…
