Captain Dave reports excellent fishing today from the VIking Starship. We made a couple of drifts near the Montauk Lighthouse and brought in loads of large and Jumbo Porgies. Everyone got their limit. We traveled to the East a lot of time left in the trip. Rods were bending, lots of shorts to start, but within a short time everyone had limited out on Sea Bass. A few Fluke were in the mix. Today’s anglers also brought home a keeper Striped Bass and 2 keeper Cod. Today’s pool winner was Jacob Herrera from Stony Point NY with a 2.7 pound Scup. Another great day on the water.

We started out with a little drizzle and then the skies cleared, the humidity lowered and the visibility was outstanding. We fished near the Montauk Lighthouse all day. A lot of quality Jumbo Porgies came aboard and everyone got their limit fairly quickly. Most people also limited on Knothead Sea Bass and the rods were bending continuously. Some nice Fluke were mixed in. A great trip; our customers went home with stuffed coolers.

Sun July 21 Humpback action! Once again we headed out to find whales, and as soon as we got past Montauk Lighthouse and onto the Atlantic Ocean, we were out of the heat! Sea surface temperatures were in the upper 60’s, a welcome relief. We headed west towards where humpbacks had been for the past few days and in a short while found one. This 40’ (-13 m) whale, probably weighed 45,000 lbs (-20 metric tons), and was logging (resting at the surface) just as it had done one week earlier. We spent some time with this whale be heading further west. At the Napeague Stretch, we headed offshore for a few miles, then began heading eastward. We saw a whale a few miles ahead, got up to it; it was the same whale we’d seen logging. Not logging now!…
