Capt Dave reports a very good day of fishing by the lighthouse. We started out at the lighthouse catching some Porgies, over there we had great conditions that allowed us to have 2 nice long drifts. Everyone got their limit on Porgies by 9:30 so we decided to head off for SeaBass. While there we caught some beautiful Seabass, but there were a lot of Porgies that we had to pick through to find them. Everyone ended up getting their limit today and went home with plenty of fish.

Saturday August 22, 2020 5 Humpbacks and about 60 Common Bottlenose dolphins Today’s trip couldn’t have started out better, with a humpback whale in Block Island Sound before we even made it to the ocean! This was a small humpback, about 24 feet (7.3 meters), probably less than 1 year old, by itself about 1 nautical mile NNW of Montauk Point. We stayed with this whale for a short while and then headed out to find others. It wasn’t long before we found Nile’s 2016 calf again. We stayed with this 4 year old male for some time and were able to get additional photos documenting his injuries. As we did a few days ago, we shared these photos with the Center for Coastal Studies Animal Entanglement Response (MAER) personnel and others and are glad to hear that his wounds are healing…

Capt Dave reports another excellent day of fishing on the Viking Starship.  Our very first drift lasted for over 2 hours and we caught all the Jumbo Porgies we needed.  Sea Bass fishing had a slower start with a lot of smaller ones and Porgies mixed in.
