Montauk

Montauk Jumbo Spring Porgies Capt Dave reports Jumbo Scup in local Montauk waters! We had a delicate pick of quality Porgies. All of the fish were real jumbos between 1 1/2 to 4 lbs. Everyone also had 1 or 2 Bluefish and some throwback SeaBass. There was no pool due to the light crowd today. We will now be fishing closer to home. Friday and Saturday we will be on the Viking Stariper and Sunday we be back on the 140′ Viking Starship! Book online at vikingfleet.com or give us a call at 631-668-5700.
