Block Island Jumbo Porgies & Knothead SeaBass Capt Dave reports great fishing today on the Viking Star. It took awhile to find them, but when we did it was the best Porgy fishing we have seen in awhile. The SeaBass fishing was a bit tough, but once we picked through the small stuff everyone pretty much had their limit. We also had a very good day with over 30 Cod on the boat ranging in the high teens to over 20 pounds. There was a big showing of Boston Mackerel with anglers filling their coolers. The first place pool was a tie with 3 lb Porgies caught by Wu Wu Mang from NYC and Idrz Likovic from Montenegro. The edible pool winner was Mike Emmanouilidis from Union, NJ with a 22 lb Cod.
