Montauk

Captain Carl reports a beautiful morning today for our half day fishing trip. We caught plenty of the usual suspects of Fluke, Sea Bass, and Porgies, but the keeper ratio was down today. Plenty of action, just not that many keepers.  

A challenging but successful day! We left the dock expecting to escape from the heat and we did. We encountered wind and expected 4-5′ seas. We found a pod of about 20-10 Tamanend’s bottlenose dolphins about 1.5 nautical miles from Montauk Point. We then headed ESE, experiencing the classic “old-time rock-and- roll” of 4-5′ seas for a few hours. We traveled through the area in which we’d found whales, dolphins, and pelagic birds on Monday 7/33/25. Spotting blows at distance was challenging due to all the white caps, and the wind, and waves. We searched and traveled and then at about 20 nm out, a finback whale blew 100 yards ahead of us! We could see the blows  (3 or 4 a few seconds apart, and the whale would go down for a terminal dive of 5-10 minutes, then come…

Capt Dave reports an excellent and lively fishing on the Viking Starship. We had a busy Porgy fishing near the Lighthouse with a mix of sizes. Then we moved a little offshore to get some Fluke and Sea Bass. The first place pool winner was Santiago Fuerte from Brooklyn, NY with a 3.6 lb Porgy….

Captain Steven Sr. reports a good day of fishing with plenty of action. Although there were a few shorts we still managed to catch some nice KEEPER Flukes, Sea Bass, and Porgies. Congratulations to our first place pool winner, Nicolas Sullivan from Montauk, NY, who caught a 4.0 lb Fluke. Another congratulations to our runner…

Captain Mike Ricker reports an afternoon filled with steady rod-bending. We had some great Sea Bass action. The Fluke fishing was also steady but unfortunatly most of them were on the shorter side. We also had some Porgies making it over the rails. It was a great afternoon for fishing! Congratulations to our pool winner,…

Capt JR reports a fair day of Block Island fishing onboard the Viking Starlite. The Sea Bass were EVERYWHERE. So, it wasn’t an issue finding plenty of big Knot Heads to go around. The Fluking was at times red hot with double headers coming up. But, the size was a bit of an issue. We…

Capt Mike reports decent fishing on the Viking Star. Anglers kept the rods bending and had mostly Sea Bass with some short Fluke mixed in. The pool winner was Chris Giordano from Mahopac, NY with a 2.8 lb Sea Bass.

Capt Dave reports a fantastic day on the Viking Starship. Everywhere we went they bit their heads off! We first stopped at the lighthouse and had an 1 1/2 slow drift with mostly big Porgies, a few Fluke and Sea Bass. When the tide ran hard we headed down the beach and anchored up. It…

Capt Mike reports a slower trip on the Viking Starlite. Fishing was a bit tough with the high wind this afternoon. We did manage a couple of keeper Fluke and a few Porgies in the buckets.

Capt Dave reports a great day on the Viking Starship. There was a lot of tide and wind to start at the lighthouse, so we drifted for Porgies and Bluefish until the tide got too fast. We went down the beach to get out of the tide and had a good pick of Porgies on…
