Fishing Reports

Capt Dave reports a pretty good day on the Viking Starship. It was not as good as yesterday with the ground swell on and the rough conditions. The Porgies and SeaBass were a bit smaller today and we had to contend with the Blue fish harassing us, but all in all we had a good catch. The pool winner who would like to remain anonymous caught a 22″ – 4 lb Porgy.

Capt Dave reports fantastic fishing on the first day of the Block Island Fall Jumbo Porgies & Knothead SeaBass trip on the Viking Starship! We spent the day checking things out. Fishing was excellent from the beach to 90 ft out. There were more Porgies than anything else in close. Out in the deep we had big SeaBass, Porgies, Fluke, Bluefish and a few keeper Cod. They were good quality fat and healthy fish with nice color. The pool winner was John Banegas from Mastic Beach, NY with a 3.3 lb fish.

Capt JR reports a good afternoon on the Viking Star. We had a decent pick of Sea Bass and Porgies. Definitely an improvement over the last two days. We ended up with a few keeper Fluke too. First place in this afternoon’s pool went to Bruce Stafford of Sag Harbor, NY with a 6.5 Fluke. 1/2 Day Fishing with the Viking Fleet is now only available Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Reservations are required so please give us a call 631-668-5700 or book online at vikingfleet.com  

Capt Dave reports a “Bail Job” just off the beach this morning on the Viking Starship. Anglers were bringing medium to large Porgies over the rail 2 at a time. It wasn’t long before everyone had their limit. We headed South to find some quality Sea Bass, but the pickings were slim. We fished around and picked up some keeper Sea Bass and also some nice Triggerfish and Blowfish. First place in the pool today went to Santos Cruz of Roosevelt, NY with a 2 1/2 lb Porgy. Edible pool went to Ricardo Villalobo of Uniondale, NY with a 4 lb Triggerfish. Tomorrow the Viking Starship is headed to Block Island to begin our daily Block Island Fall Jumbo Porgies & Knothead Sea Bass trips.

Capt Dave reports a good day of fishing on the Viking Star. Porgy fishing was excellent at the lighthouse with mixed size fish. We couldn’t get out to the east with the ebb tide and breeze, so we tried a closer spot and only found a handful of SeaBass and some Porgies there. The first place pool winner was Siv Wah Cheng with a 2 1/2 lb Porgy. The edible pool winner was Jose Rodriguez from Flushing, NY with a 7 lb Bluefish.
