Block Island Porgies and Sea Bass Captain Dave reports an okay day of fishing today. We stopped midway and had a good steady pick of mostly smaller sized porgies, and then made our way to Block and picked up some nice cod, jumbo porgies and a few sea bass. We moved again and had 2 really great drifts for sea bass and then the rest of the afternoon was a little quiet. All in all it was an okay day and everyone left happy. Today’s pool winner was David Lee of Flushing with a 3.75 lb porgy.

Night Striped Bass Well for the third night in a row there is not much change in the night bite reports Capt. Ant.  After making a couple of stops on piles of fish we finally landed on one that had fish biting…unfortunately it was one a drift, every once in a while we’d get 2 and a blue.  We had quite a few swings and misses as again the wind against tide made for an unorthodox drift, you really had to let them eat.  Congrats to Keith Levinson of Selden with a 27lber that took the pool.  2nd place was Roger Moon from Port Jeff. Block Island Jumbo Porgies and Sea Bass Captain Dave reports a beautiful day on the water.  We had smaller size fish in the mix today along with some sea bass.The Pool winner was William Brunson…

Night Striped Bass Capt Ant reports another Disappointing night bite. We picked a few but nothing satisfactory for a full boat. We went all the way east to all the way west down the beach, marked everywhere but could not get them going. perhaps the wind against tide & slow drift or perhaps they are chewing ferociously in the day. The latter is happening as this report is being written @ 8am insane jig bite according to reliable sources we’ll let you know at 3 for sure.The pool winner was Tom Andretta from Yucaipar, CA with a 26lbs second place Dennis Romaniello from Calverton, Ny Block Island Porgies and Sea Bass Captain Dave reports an okay day of fishing aboard the Viking Starship today.

Night Striped Bass Capt Ant reports a slow night of bassing. We marked everywhere we went, only 1 bass on the ebb, then we had to sit through the slack and the start  of the flood we found beautiful blues biting baits. We picked away and in the blues we picked a few more bass. Once the tide started cranking, all stopped not a touch. Pool winner Mr Rodger Nelson from Baldwin, NY with a 27lbs Second place Mr Stan Skiba from Sparta, NJ with a 24lber Block Island Porgies and Sea Bass Captain Dave reports a better day of fishing than yesterday.

Full Day Block Island Porgies and Sea Bass Captain Dave reports a slower day of fishing over at Block than we have seen lately. The Porgies were slower to come over the rails but on a positive note we caught a bunch of quality jumbo Sea Bass. Sandy Amanuel of Manhattan won the Porgy pool with a 4lb Porgy. The edible pool winner today was Alvin Joseph who caught himself a nice 12lb Bluefish. 2 Day Tuna Capt Carl reports a decent tuna bite during the day, but a slow night. The first day we picked up a couple albacore trolling around, as well as some mahi mahi. The night bite never turned into much, with just some mystery bites and some blue sharks. We picked up a couple more albacore on the second day both trolling and jigging. Greg Jenkins took the tuna…

3 Day Full Moon Tuna and Sword Ultra LTD Capt. Carl reports a pretty tough trip for our 3 Day Tuna/Sword trip. We started off trolling on Day 1 with whales, dolphins, and bait all around the boat but we only stopped for a couple of mahi mahi. Finally, late in the afternoon, we ran into some albacore and got 4 out of five on one pass. We made a couple more passed in the area but that’s all we got, so we anchored up and almost immediately landed a nice yellowfin on the chunk. For the rest of the night, however, we did not land anymore tunas. We did land and release 2 small swordfish, and had a couple other bites but nothing else boated. We started trolling again early the next morning and hooked up with some more…
