Block Island Bottom-Cod, Sea Bass, Blackfish – Viking Fivestar We had another good trip fishing around Block.

Block Island Bottom – Cod/Sea Bass/Blackfish – Viking Fivestar Capt Steven Jr. reports that we put together another good day of bottom fishing on the Viking Fivestar. The sea bass are back to chewing their heads off after last weeks ground swell that slowed the bite down.

But the sea bass fishing sent everyone home with a load of fillets. Block Island Fall Jumbo Porgies and Knothead Sea Bass Capt Dave reports a good day of fishing on the Viking Starship.

30-50 Mile Wreck Special. Capt Steven Jr reports that we had a phenomenal wreck trip today!! We only had to make 2 drops to have the boat loaded with jumbo sea bass! We made a third drop to look for a couple more cod and ended up releasing a bunch of big sea bass. There was a better sign of cod today on the wrecks and we had a couple ling, hake, scup and some blues come up. We came in a little early today because the coolers were full!! Good to see some quality cod around and I think we could have had more if we could have gotten through all of the sea bass. Looking forward to getting back out there!

Rusty Belly – Viking Fivestar Capt Steven Jr reports that we sailed with light crowd and put together a decent catch today on the Viking Fivestar. The black fishing had slower action then we saw on our last trip. But by mid day everyone had their limit of black fish with a couple fish around 8 lbs.
