Montauk

Capt J.R. reports that we once again had to hide from the strong winds all afternoon on the Viking Star. However we did still manage a couple Porgies and SeaBass, as well as some short Fluke. We did have some action, just not much to keep. Overall we had some fish in the buckets despite the unfavorable weather, just not great fishing. The pool winner this afternoon went Alani Bougard from Bainbridge Island, WA with a Porgy.

Capt Dave reports a very good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. We started the morning anchored up off the lighthouse and had a really nice shot of large and jumbo sized Porgies for over an hour. When the strong tide started ripping we worked our way offshore, pretty much straight south to…

Capt JR reports that we hid from the strong winds all afternoon but found a few Porgies, Fluke, and Sea Bass to bend the rods. Not our best trip, but a good time was had by all. A few fish in the buckets regardless of the unfavorable weather. The pool winner was Harry Egan from Kilkenny, Ireland with a 2 lb Porgy.

Capt Dave reports a good trip on the Viking Starship. Porgy fishing was excellent by the lighthouse. We started out on the anchor and had mostly nice size fish. We also did some drifting. There were some Sea Bass, but they were on the smaller size. Sea Bass fishing was lively by Block Island. There…

Captain JR reports an action packed morning onboard the Viking Star. Rods were bent all trip with anglers battling giant porgies and sea bass. We did find some fluke but they were all fairly small. However, everyone definitely ended up with very nice bags of meat! The pool winner was Ella McGuirk from Woodburg, CT…

Capt Carl reports a GREAT afternoon on the Viking Starlite. In addition to lots of Black Sea Bass and Porgies in the buckets, we had some really nice JUMBO KEEPER Flukes as well! The first prize pool winner went to Bill Lippold from Orchard Park, NY with a 7.5 lb Fluke. The second prize pool…

Capt Dave reports a good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. First thing this morning, fishing was excellent with a great shot of Porgies for about 30-45 minutes and the tide switched and the bite dropped out. We started to work our way to the east to escape the tide and had ok action. We then got into our SeaBass grounds and picked through a bunch of small fish, we definitely had less keepers to throwbacks today, but managed a few nice ones. We later made our way back to finish off our trip drifting off the lighthouse for a little over an hour and had fantastic fishing with mostly medium to large fish, no real jumbo Porgies today. The first prize pool winner went to Mr. Lee from Manhattan, NY with a 2.2 lb Porgy. We will…

Capt Carl reports a fine morning of 1/2 Day Family Fun Fishing on the Viking Starlite this morning. The water was a bit brown and dirty where we started off, so we made a move and found some cleaner water and hungry fish! Black Sea Bass and Porgies made up the majority of the catch,…

What a great day! We first headed out towards Montauk Shoals to search for a young whale that was seen earlier in the morning during a fishing trip. The juvenile humpback was spotted alongside a small group of Tamanend’s bottlenose dolphin. As we waited for the whale to surface following a shallow dive, we were treated to a massive and unexpected tail kick off our port side. We spent a little more time here watching dolphins surf in some of the larger waves beyond our vessel before continuing south in search of the adult humpbacks who have been spending time off Montauk this summer. As with many other trips this season, we found them and in great abundance. Eight initial humpbacks turned into twelve and then sixteen. Whales surrounded the vessel and many blows could be seen beyond. Not to…

Capt Dave reports pretty good fishing today on the Viking Starship. Today’s conditions weren’t great with the strong tide and light wind, so we did spend most our morning drifting off the lighthouse picking through some smaller stuff. We eventually zeroed in on some larger fish about mid-way through the trip and had our large…
