Montauk Jumbo Lighthouse Porgies and Knothead Sea Bass Capt Dave reports a good fishing despite less than ideal conditions aboard the Viking Starship.  We started the moring offshore on the anchor fishing for sea bass, we picked through tons of little fish but by the time we picked up to move everyone had their limit.  We also had a handful of porgies and triggers while on anchor.  We moved inshore for porgies, conditions were rough and the water was dirty but we fought through it and put together a decent catch of large porgies with a couple of fluke and blues in the mix.  Today’s pool winner was Alex of Mt. Vernon, NY with a 3.5lb porgy.

Montauk Jumbo Lighthouse Porgies and Knothead Sea Bass Capt Dave reports excellent fishing in the AM aboard the Viking Starship.  We started the morning with one long drift, which produced lots of large and jumbo porgies!  When fishing started to slow we anchored on a rock pile and caught a mix basket of mixed sized fish.  We then moved out east and drifted for sea bass.  The drift was quick with wind against tide conditions but we picked through lots of littles and limits were taken.  Today’s pool winner was Jiang Quan of Brooklyn, NY with a 2.12lb porgy.
