Fishing Reports

Capt Jr reports a SLAMMER trip onboard the Viking Star! The day time chunk bite was on once again with rods doubled over from the moment we arrived at the grounds. Big 50-80 pound yellow fin tuna kept us busy till the sun went down on the first day of fishing. The night bite wasn’t happening so most anglers rested up for the day to come. Dawn on the second day brought NOTHING! We changed zoo fishing a few new areas and relocated the herd and began whacking and stacking the big yellow fin tuna once again. The last couple hours before sunset were pandemonium with all anglers capturing the big angry yellow fin. When darkness fell everyone had their limit and we packed the boxes to capacity. The best trip we have had yet! Pool winners were Michael Jung…

Capt Dave reports a great day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. We started off the morning fishing south of Block Island where we had excellent Porgy fishing on the first drop. Most of the fish were between large and jumbos. When we got our Porgies we worked our way farther off the island and did some SeaBassing. SeaBass fishing was good, with mostly all keepers and a lot between 4-5 lbs. We found about a half a dozen keeper Cod fish in the deeper water along with plenty of Mackerell. The first place pool winner went to Noel Morris from Brooklyn with a 3 1/4 lb Porgy. The edible pool winner went to William Deal also known as “Big Deal” from Troy, NY with a 9 lb Cod Fish. We most definitely will be sailing tomorrow (Wednesday, September…

Capt Dave reports another very good day on the Viking Starship. We had plenty of Porgies with Sea Bass mixed in everywhere we went, so we didn’t have to do any looking around for the Sea Bass. We also had a couple of Bluefish, some Triggers, Mackerel and a 40 lb Striped Bass released unharmed!…

Capt Dave reports a good day of fishing despite the conditions today on the Viking Starship.  The conditions were tough out there but the fish were still biting. We had a nice catch of Porgies this morning working in close in the shallow water. The Porgies were biting their heads off and we had a nice size selection. After loading up we went offhshore into about 90 feet of water and had a slow but steady pick of 2-3 lb SeaBass. More mackerell today on the boat too. The first place pool winner went to Bernaldo Castillo from Queens, NY with a 3.2 lb Porgy. We will be sailing tomorrow again tomorrow for the 5am Porgies and SeaBass.

Capt J.R. reports an excellent afternoon of fishing on the Viking Star. We found lots of KEEPER Fluke for all anglers and some jumbo Porgies. The Fluke action was the best we have had in several weeks! A very welcomed resurgence in the local waters. The first place pool winner went to John Bowden from Massapequa,…

Capt Dave reports a tougher day on the Viking Starship. We had to hide from the weather to start the day, so we were up close to Block Island and the fishing was pretty slow. As the weather improved we worked our way off shore and found a good mix of Porgies and Sea Bass….
