Sun July 28 – Montauk Lighthouse Jumbo Porgies & Knothead Sea Bass
Capt Dave reports another excellent day of fishing today on the Viking Star. The Porgies we’re really biting today with fish from medium to jumbo in just about every spot we hit.

Fri July 26 – Whale Watching – Viking Star
The tales of dozens of whales continues. The day started out and ending with unlimited visibility, we could ask for better viewing conditions.

Wed July 24 – Whale Watching – Viking Starship
Our 2024 trip reports are starting to sound more like fairytales than whale watching summaries and that is especially true for our Wednesday, July 25 th trip. The east end experienced flooding rains in the morning and fog sopped in much of Montauk ahead of the trip. It was drizzling and/or extremely damp as we…
