Montauk

Montauk Spring Jumbo Porgies Capt Dave reports a tough day on the Viking Stariper. We had rainy and windy conditions which made the water dirty. We also had a ton of Bluefish throwing off the bite. The Porgies we did catch were good sized and those that worked at it got their limit. There was no pool onboard due to the small group.

Captain Dave reports a good morning trip. Fishing off the lighthouse resulted in some nice size Porgies with some blues in the mix. The Biggest Porgy of the season was caught, just over 5 pounds, but was not in the pool. Spooney Bennit from Brooklyn NY was the winner of todays pool with a 3 3/4 pound Porgy.
