Capt Mike reports an okay morning of fishing on the Viking Starship. We started the morning off with less than ideal conditions in the rain. We saw lots of action on the boat today, but had a tough time battling the Sea Robin bite with not many keepers in the mix, seeing predominantly Porgies and Fluke. We had a lively crowd aboard the boat today and everyone seemed to have fun. The pool winner this morning went to Gavin Viglucci from Carmel, New York with a 2 lb Porgy.

What a day at sea! We always begin each cruise by reminding passengers that we are sailing into the natural environment and have no idea what we will see or when. This trip was definitely a testament to that! We traded in the heat and haze of land for cool, ocean breezes traveling approximately 14 miles offshore in search of cetaceans. Visibility improved tremendously and conditions were highly favorable for spotting life at the surface. Despite this, no marine mammals were seen for the first two hours, but things were getting interesting. We passed through numerous debris ‘fields’, likely outwash from the Connecticut River stemming from the heavy rains that pounded New England earlier in the week. Then the water got very warm as we entered a warm-core eddy spinning off the Gulf Stream. Then came the flying fish, and…

Capt Dave reports decent action this afternoon on the Viking Starlite. We saw a lot of fish coming up around the boat this afternoon, but unfortunately most of them were on the small side, with more throwbacks than anything. We did manage to find 3-4 keeper Fluke and some nice sized SeaBass fishing just south…

Capt Dave G reports a slow afternoon of fishing aboard the Viking Starlite. We started out the strong on our first drift, but the bite seemed to significantly die out as the afternoon carried on. We caught a few keeper fluke amongst the throwbacks as well as some sea bass, and some porgies. The pool…

Capt Dave reports an excellent day of fishing today on the Viking Star. Local fishing this morning was great, we had non-stop action for about 2 hours with mostly large sized Porgies. after loading up on Porgies we worked our way east for our catch of Seabass, we had to pick our way through a…
