Night Striped Bass Capt. Ant’s report: Okay so I’ve been sleep deprived since Thursday and I’m trying to find  “a” word to describe fishing last night.  We’ve used massacre, we’ve used slaughter, we’ve used annihilation.  But for the second night in a row we had the kind of fishing that has made Montauk the Striped Bass Capital of the World.  Simply put, last nights trip was in a sense, PERFECT.  Yes some anglers prefer the pelagic variety, some the cold weather species, some enjoy enticing bottom fish from the rocky or wrecky dwellings.  But from the spring through the fall, Montauk’s Striped Bass and their ferocious friends, that being the bluefish, have the ability to create complete chaos and angler frenzy, sheer exhilaration yet sometime heartbreak, but more importantly affords an opportunity to a non-angler, say a vacationer, the chance…

Capt. Carl reports an overall good trip for the John Viol annual TNT charter aboard the Viking Star! On our way out, we picked up a Yellowfin and a couple mahi before we hit the tile grounds. When we started bottom fishing, we had some good solid tile fishing! Plenty of tilefish came up on every drop and we worked the bottom until late in the afternoon. We then switched back over to the troll, and 10 minutes into it, we doubled up on some large Tunas! After a terrific battle, both anglers landed the pair of Big Eye Tunas! Congrats to the anglers for doing an excellent job fighting them! They were approximately 140 lbs and 170lbs! We got them in and continued to troll into the dark, picking up just one more yellowfin. Unfortunately, things went quiet for…

Night Striped Bass Capt. Ant reports all hope is not lost!!!!  After 2 weeks of slow fishing and psycho-therapy the Bass Gods smiled again, not just with fish, but with MOOOO Cows.  While not all fish were weighed we estimated 15 fish over 30lbs including 1 definite 40+ and one who was just as big but not weighed by customer request. We tried something different, hit a lucky fall jigging spot to start the night and we found some whopper choppers inhaling the eels.  Made a slight adjustment and it was game on.  7 drifts at a 3+ knot tide produce 19 total Bass, which by the last few weeks standards, awesome!!  Every fish was large, every fish put on a fight our anglers will remember forever…it was a perfect night with the exception of 2 break offs of even…
