Fishing Reports

Capt Derek reports excellent fishing this afternoon on the Viking Fivestar. We took a bit of a ride this afternoon, but it was well worth it. Both spots we fished had nice jumbo Seabass and Porgies.

The second place pool winner was Jen Becker from Medford New York with a 2 lb Sea Bass.

Sat Aug 1 – Whale Watching 2 Humpback Whales – 18 and 10 consecutive breaches at the end of our trip! Nice way to end the afternoon. Our 3rd trip of the 2020 season was one for the books. Again, we had reports of whales from several places and began our trip with a great plan to survey an area not far from Gurney’s. Excellent visibility and conditions allowed us to see blows from really far. Our first stop was ~6nm (nautical miles) south of the Lighthouse, where we had seen blows from about 1.5 nm away.  Those whales were gone, so we headed west (2 nm) and found the first of 2 whales, one seen on the 7/18/2020 trip (MTK.2020.07.18-01). Our 2nd whale was one we had seen on the 7/25/2020 trip (MTK.2020.07.25-02).

Capt Dave reports a good day on the Viking Starship. We stayed away from the lighthouse due to the full moon tide. Down the beach we had a good steady pick of nice size Porgies, a handful of SeaBass, and a bunch of Trigger fish. We headed to our offshore SeaBass spot and found it loaded with small fish. The fishing was fast with mostly double headers throwbacks, but everyone had a few keepers. The pool winner was Lloyd Steward from Brooklyn with a 3.1 lb Porgy. Pool winners to follow. All trips are CANCELLED Tuesday, Aug 4th and Wednesday Aug 5th due to weather.

Capt Steven Sr. reports a great trip on the Viking Starlite. The full moon tide made drifting at the beginning of the trip very aggravating! The fishing got better as the tide changed and it was “Porgy Time”. Porgies were so hungry, anglers had a hard time even getting their lines to the bottom without a double headers. Some nice size Sea Bass in the mix made for another successful trip. The pool winner for today was Javier Fuentes 13 years old from Rockville Centre, NY with a 3 lb Porgy.
