Capt Dave reports a pretty good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. Porgy fishing today was very good as we worked mostly around the lighthouse with some really nice sized fish. Seabass fishing was on the okay side with a lot of little fish around. We worked a lot of our usual spots,…

Capt JR reports a good afternoon of fishing onboard the Viking Star. We found a healthy pick of Sea Bass, Porgies, and Fluke to keep us busy all trip. Everyone had no trouble throwing fish in their buckets with several nice keeper Fluke to round out the catch. The pool winner was Elizabeth Gurtowski fromHuntington,…

The magic continues! It was another phenomenal day of whale watching aboard the Viking Starship as we headed south to find a very active group of approximately eleven humpback whales. We immediately encountered a tail-throwing, flipper-slapping, rolling-over calf with five to six adults in near proximity and a few more farther out. The adults were in groups of two or three, but would come together at times, diving and surfacing simultaneously in what was likely coordinated feeding events on rich prey detected at depth. Most of the whales were familiar, having been seen on numerous, previous trips throughout the summer. Multiple close approaches by the calf, associated pairs and trios occupied our time as the whales approached and swam along the vessel, even sprinkling passengers with the spray of their blows (exhalations). The changing angle of sunlight in late summer…

Capt Dave reports a very good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. We had good fishing right from the get-go as we made our first anchor drop that lasted for about 2 hours or a nice steady pick of Porgies and a few SeaBass. We had mixed sized fish around medium and large size. Once the tide started running we worked our way to the south of the lighthouse and found some really nice size Porgies to pick on. We finished off our trip towards the east and found a good pile of SeaBass with about a half a dozen keeper Fluke mixed in along with a few Blue fish. The pool winner today went to James Nicholson from Brooklyn with a 2.8 lb Porgy. We are definitely sailing again tomorrow on our 5am Jumbo Porgies and SeaBass,…

Capt Mike reports an okay trip on the Viking Star. Wind and tide were not in our favor this afternoon. Fishing picked up towards the end of the trip with nice Porgies and Sea Bass in the buckets. The pool winner was Shane Grad from Chicago, IL with a 3 lb Sea Bass.

Capt JR reports a pretty good day on the Viking Starlite. The Sea Bass fishing was once again as good as it gets with everyone easily getting their limit of big beautiful knot heads. However, the Fluke bite was definitely way off. Maybe they need some time to recover after the giant ground swell the…

Captain Dave reports another great day of fishing—although a bit windy, the conditions were almost perfect.  The trip was off to a great start anchored near the lighthouse with a great picking of mix-sized porgies, with a handful of nice large ones. Later, the trip headed towards Block Island, where they caught several nice-sized sea bass. Our pool winner was Danny Ko from Queens, NY, with a two 1/2-pound porgy today.
