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. Then we shot offshore to go sea bassing the bite was slower than it has been. We checked a lot of spots and only found a few fish here and there. We had a big ground swell from the east which seemed to effect the fishing. Block Island Jumbo Porgies and Knothead Sea Bass Capt Dave reports a very difficult day of porgy fishing today. When we had a lot of action the porgies were just keeper size, but when we got into…

The pool winner was Terrence Persaud from Brooklyn, NY with a 2.4 lb porgy.

Block Island Bottom Cod/Sea Bass/Blackfish – Viking Fivestar Capt Steven Jr. reports that we had another good day of fishing on our Block Island bottom trip. Seabassing remains very strong with lots of quality fish coming up. We managed a handful of cod along with some scup in the mix. The black fishing was nothing better then it has been locally with only a couple big fish coming up and a couple shorts. The water is still warm in the tog areas and we are still seeing the small scup and seabass in there as well. Hopefully the togging improves soon but everyone still went home with a good pile of fish.

Rusty Belly – Fivestar Capt Steven Jr reports another great day of fishing today! Black fishing was on fire with the first drop and easy limits were had all around within an hour of fishing! We then took a bumpy ride offshore and had another great  day of sea bassing!! In two drops everyone had their limit of LARGE and XL seabass. We had a couple more cod pop up today compared to yesterday. There were a few dogs around to bother us, but not enough to make us move.

Block Island Bottom Cod, Sea Bass, & Blackfish – Viking Fivestar Capt Steven Jr. reports another good day of fishing on the Viking Fivestar! The seabass fishing was once again phenomenal! Tons of jumbos all around, easy limits of all fish, weighing in around 3 lbs or better with a bunch over 5 lbs. We didn’t find much as far as cod, which was surprising for the amount of area we fished.  But the seabass were so thick it was hard to keep a bait on the bottom for long. By mid day, we shot inshore to look for some black fish and only found a couple nice ones, a couple shorts and a lot more seabass we had to throw back. We are sailing this Thursday on a 30-50 mile wreck trip and we still have a couple spots…

Rusty Belly – Fivestar We had our first Rusty Belly trip of the season yesterday and we had a good day. We started off black fishing and had a good steady pick of fish on most drops with some big fished mixed in everywhere. Fishing was just fine, but not as good as we are used to up east there, but the water temp is still in the mid 60’s. By mid day everyone had their limit of black fish (except for Marty) and we headed offshore to look for cod and sea bass. We had phenomenal sea bass fishing with tons of double headers and all quality sized fish. We only had a hand full of cod mixed in with a few scup and we did have some dogs, but we never had to run from them. By the…
