Captain JR reports tough conditions to start the day on the Viking Starlite. We had a slow steady pick of fish once conditions improved later in the morning. Plenty of Blackfish over the rails, but a lot of shorts. We wound up with some keeper Blackfish, some Cod and a few nice sized Knothead Sea Bass. We had a freshwater angler, Scott Loyer, of Monroe NY win the Sea Bass pool with a 3.8 lb fish that he caught on a piece of Mackerel he had caught earlier. Dennis Kippel of West Islip, NY won the Blackfish pool with a 7.4 lber. Wednesday Oct. 28 and Sat. Oct 31 trips are sold out, but there are still some spots left for Fri Oct 30 and Sun Nov 1st.

First place in the Sea Bass pool went to Peter Chiu of Briarwood, NY with a 4.75 lber.
