Sun Oct 23 – Block Island Jumbo Porgies & Knothead Sea Bass
Capt Dave reports a good day of fishing today on the Viking Superstar despite the rainy conditions. Fishing was a little different than its been, the SeaBass were biting hard so we had to pick through a bunch of them to get to the nice keeper sized ones and easily had our limit of those. Porgy fishing was good, but it we had to pick through the SeaBass to get them, but definitely had some nice sized ones. The first place pool winner went to Rodolfo De Guzman from Bowie, Maryland with a 4 lb Porgy. Tomorrow’s 5am Porgy and SeaBass trip is cancelled due to weather (Monday, October 24th).

Sat Oct 22- Viking Starlite Full Day Private Charter
Capt Steven Sr reports a great day of fishing today on our private charter on the Viking Starlite. We started our morning fishing closer to shore for Porgies and SeaBass and had a lot of small stuff. We then decided to work our way into the deeper water where we found much nicer stuff. The size was much better with large and jumbo SeaBass and medium to large Scup, as well a few Cod fish and Mackerell. We managed to spend the day picking away at the fish to end the day with a happy bunch and happy coolers. What a phenominal group we had today on the boat and we would like to thank the fishing club for coming out this morning!
