1/2 Day – AM Capt Phil reports good fishing this morning on the Viking Stariper. We had good conditions and a lot of action with a ton of shorts and a couple of thowback SeaBass. The pool winner was Chris Longo with a 4 lb Fluke.

Captain Mike on the Viking Stariper reports that despite some rain showers everyone had a good time fishing today. Unfortunately a lot of the caught fish were beautiful Sea Bass. All Sea Bass were returned unharmed. Some Fluke were caught, a few were keepers. One jumbo Porgy and some smaller Porgy were brought on board. The Viking Stariper had some younger passengers today who enjoyed catching a variety of fish, including Skates. No pool was held this afternoon.  

Captain Carl reports excellent action aboard the Viking Stariper. Big, fat, giant Sea Bass kept the rods bent all afternoon. All Sea Bass were returned unharmed. Very few Fluke were brought on board today. A few keepers went home. Smiles all around were shared. All the captains and crew at the Viking Fleet are looking forward to Sunday June 23rd when Sea Bass season is open. We know where the Sea Bass are and Sunday can start bringing them in. Sea Bass can live 10-12 years, grow to a maximum of 24-25 inches and weigh up to 8 pounds; there should be some really competitive pools this season.  

Montauk Jumbo Lighthouse Porgies Capt Dave reports a decent day on the Viking Star. We had good fishing but unfortunately the Porgies were smaller today. There were plenty of bites with some Bluefish mixed in, 2 keeper Fluke and some shorts and about a half dozen small Striped Bass. There was no pool today with the small crowd.

1/2 Day Charter Capt Carl reports a fun charter on the Viking Stariper. We had a great group who saw a lot of action this afternoon. If SeaBass was open everyone would have gone home with fish, unfortunately we will have to wait until Sunday!

Capt Dave reports excellent fishing today aboard the Viking Stariper. We started out with perfect conditions and had a long drift with Big Porgies and some Bluefish. The tide started to run hard and the fishing got a little tougher, but everyone pretty much got what they needed early so it was a great day! The pool winner was Francisco Lopez from Medford, NY with a 3 3/4 lb Scup.

Montauk Jumbo Lighthouse Porgies Capt Dave reports a good trip on the Viking Stariper. We had excellent fishing to start this morning with Jumbo Porgies. A strong tide came on so we moved and found a steady pick of smaller fish with some Bluefish and Fluke mixed in. The pool winner was Cecil Blades from the Bronx with a 3 1/2 lb Scup.

Captain Dave reports good fishing today on the Viking Star. A great group of fisherman who have been fishing with the Viking Fleet for an average of fifteen years enjoyed drifting just off the Montauk Lighthouse and catching a mix of large and jumbo Porgies. A few Bluefish and four keeper Flukes were also taken. Striped bass were released unharmed. It was an enjoyable day for customers and crew.  

Captain Dave G. reports a wonderful day of fishing on the Viking Stariper. A great local group had non-stop action with small Fluke and Bluefish. A number of Sea Bass and Striped Bass were caught and released unharmed. We ended up with a handful of keepers and a very happy crowd. High hook goes to first time fisher, Chelsea Tierney. Congratulations Chelsea! First place in the Fluke pool goes to Brett Herlihy of East Hampton.
