Sun June 17 8am Half Day Fishing First off…Happy Father’s Day to all you dad’s out there! Capt Steven Jr reports a good Sunday of fishing, lots of action that continued all day. This morning we had a great group of people on board, a lot of dads and their little anglers. Tons of porgies were coming over the rails today, a couple of fluke in the mix, and lots of seabass were caught and released. A Few keepers were caught in the mixed bag today. On this trip we had 2 pool winners, in the first place the father son duo of Luke and Gage Stein both from Montauk, NY with a 5 and half pounder. And for the second place win, Landon Lavin also from Montauk, NY with a 4.7 pounder.

Striped Bass Capt Carl reports some action on the Night Bass trip aboard the Viking Starship, but not really a good night by any means. We started off jigging and had some decent action with small Bluefish, Giant Porgies, and 1 keeper Striped Bass. As night fell, we switched over to the live eels, but everything went quiet for the rest of the night. We did read tons of bait all over the place and quite a few fish as well, but the night bite is just not solid…yet. Next weekend as we follow the tide, the Bass trips are scheduled from 3PM-9PM so we expect much more action during the day. Then, the “June Moon” trip should be when the whole night bite starts, as it has for many many years.

1/2 Day Fluke – PM Capt Steven Jr reports much improved fishing this afternoon on the Viking Starship. Fluke was still slow so we searched out some Porgies and had a lot of action. Everyone went home with a nice pile of fish. The crew was still cutting long after the boat came in. The winner of both pools was John McGarro from East Elmhurst, NY with 4lb and 3 3/4 lb Porgies.
