Montauk Jumbo Lighthouse Porgies and Knothead Seabass Capt. Dave reports an excellent day of fishing aboard the Viking Starship. We started off fishing for scup right by the Lighthouse where we had some nice mixed size porgies and when we went a bit further out we found some jumbos. After limiting out with porgies we went looking for seabass. We had to pick through a lot of small fish but got some really nice big seabass with everyone reaching their limits.  We We also had some nice fluke, mackerel and bluefish in the mix. The pool winner was George Andreopoulos from New Hyde Park with a 4.5 lb porgy.

Striped Bass Capt Carl was at the helm of the Viking Starship tonight and reports a very disappointing struggle on the grounds. We marked plenty of fish all night long, but they seemed to be in lockjaw mode. We only landed 2 keepers for the whole boat. It was extremely frustrating reading them on the machine all night long and they just didn’t want to bite. Sometimes the night after a Full Moon this happens, and unfortunately tonight it was the case. We expect things to pick back up with the amount of fish around by our next trip on Wednesday night. Mike Deyak from Rocky Point, NY took the pool with a 31 pounder, and Madison Kolnsberg from Queens, NY took second with a 12 pounder.
