Fishing Reports

Capt. JR reports a very good trip this morning aboard the Viking Star. Lots of Seabass and Porgies came up around the boat all trip long. We also had an excellent catch of big beautiful Fluke. The most we have seen in weeks. The first place pool winner was Ryan Hameyer from Kings Park, NY, with a 6 lb Fluke. The second pool winner was Chris Lewis from Edgewater, NJ, with a 5.25 lb Fluke.

Capt. JR reports a good day on the Viking Star. We had a good pick of SeaBass and Porgies with lots of action all trip.

Capt. Dave reports a decent day on the Viking Starship. The fishing conditions weren’t ideal due to a ground swell in our area. It was a slow pick out by the lighthouse, we caught a variety of sized Porgies. We then ventured out east for one drift, and caught a nice mix of SeaBass. Despite the conditions, everyone went home with their limit of nicer sized SeaBass. Today’s place pool winners were Sherron Smith from New Jersey with a 2.1lb Porgy, and Danny Yuen from New York with a 3.6lb SeaBass.

Captain JR reports, we had a very productive morning on the Viking Star. We had lots of action the whole trip with Sea Bass and Porgies being the predominant catch. We were very happy to see a few nice XL Fluke come up as well, one tipping the scales at 11.25 lbs!!! The pool winner…

Capt. JR reports heavy seas leftover from last night and today’s storms that kept us away from our usual hunting grounds. However, we fished some lesser known spots right in our backyard and put a good catch of Seabass, Porgies, and a few keeper Fluke on the boat. The pool winner was Connor Bubolo aka…

Capt. JR reports nice trip this afternoon despite the not so nice weather. It was on the slower side this afternoon once the weather took a nasty turn but, we managed to stay and get a nice catch. The pool winner was John from Massepequa, NY, with a 3 lb Seabass.

Whales in the rain! We headed out with excellent visibility and just a light misty rain, hoping that the rain would stay to our south. Oh well, we were wrong, although when the wind was behind us, the rain was quite tolerable.  We weren’t really fazed by the rain and continued to search for whales.  After about an hour,  a minke whale did a full-body breach just 200 yds from then port bow.  It was an amazing, yet fleeting sight that only a handful of us saw. An hour later we saw the tell-tall splash of a breach and headed to find a humpback lunge feeding and taking high-fluking dives. These were great sights that made the rainy trip worthwhile. The humpback was one we’d seen in this area 2 weeks earlier. 1 Minke whale 1 Humpback whale 1 Ocean…

Mon 8/2 – Wed 8/4 Capt Steven Jr reports another great trip with a fun group of guys on the Viking Fivestar. We ended up with 26 Yellowfin, 3 Swords to 160lbs and a pile of nice Mahi. Looking forward to getting back out this afternoon and seeing what we can put together.

Capt. Dave reports an excellent day onboard the Viking Starship. We started today at the lighthouse, catching a mix of medium and large Porgies. The Starship then ventured to the SeaBass grounds, where we caught plenty of SeaBass, 1/2 a dozen keeper Fluke, and nicer sized Porgies. Today’s edible pool winner went to Mr. Love…

Capt. JR reports a very productive trip with action from start to finish. Jumbo Porgies in every area we fished with some giant knothead Seabass in the mix. Lots of delicious fillets for all anglers. The pool winner this morning was Danny Hissins from Huntington, NY, with a 4 lb Fluke.
