Fishing Reports

Capt Dave reports a great day on the Viking Starship. It was a total bail job on the Porgies. They were so thick it was hard to get to the SeaBass, but by the end it did ease up and we were able to get through to some Jumbos. The pool winner was Alberto Rivera from Bronx, NY with a 3.21 lb Porgy.

Capt Dave G reports a very good morning of fishing aboard the Viking Star. We had plenty of nice Sea Bass and more keeper Fluke than we have been seeing. There were also nice size Scup in the mix. The first place pool winner was Liz from Queens who had a Viking trifecta of a nice keeper 4 1/2 lb Fluke, a Jumbo Sea Bass and an extra large Porgy! The second place pool winner was Jim from Northport, NY with a 3 1/2 lb Fluke.

Wed July 8- Half Day Fishing PM Trip Capt. Chris A. reports from this afternoon’s trip on the Viking Star that a good afternoon was had by all with lots of action and pails to go around… although we only had a few keeper fluke, lots of fish hit the filet table with monster Seabass and some porgies to round out the catch.The pool fish was caught by Tommy Keener of Baldwin NY with a 4lb 5oz Fluke

Capt. Dave reports a very good day of Fishing. Porgy fishing was very strong today, the fish were smaller than we have been seeing for the most part but there were Jumbos mixed in. We than spent a good hour Sea Bass fishing at the end of the day and everyone had their Sea Bass limit also . Donald Hyde of the Bronx NY won today’s only pool with a 3.6 Lb Porgy.

Capt Chris A. Reports a slow steady pick throughout the morning which added up to a decent mornings catch. The filet bags looked healthy walking off the boat, everybody went home with some. The catch consisted of Fluke, Seabass & Porgies. The pool winner was John Jacobsen of Northport NY who caught a 3lb Fluke.

Capt Steven Jr reports that our first trip off to the deep was a productive one with the bottom fish, but slow on the Tuna fishing. Both days of bottom fishing we had steady action with Tiles, Pollock, Hake, Barrelfish, Cusk and a few Blue Line Tile. We spent both mornings and one evening on the troll and were only able to turn up 3 Yellows and a couple Marlin bites. At the end of the trip everyone went home with a nice load of deep water fillets and some Tuna. We are looking forward to get back out there at the end of next week. We hope the warm water keeps pushing closer and the Tuna fishing picks up. We have very limited openings for offshore trip until September so give us a call at the office and get…

Capt JR reports despite difficult conditions we were able to catch some quality Sea Bass and Porgies. Fluke were abundant but not as large as the AM trip yielded. Wind and a moon tide were not helping our cause. But we ended up having a good trip and a lot of action for most of the time.Pool winner was Ron Panowich from Holtsville, NY with a 5.75 lb Fluke.

Capt Dave reports a great day on the Viking Starship.  Today’s trip started out a little slow with a strong running tide.  We had a steady pick of slightly smaller Porgies than we have been seeing, BUT that is not how the trip finished.  We tried a new spot and found lots of quality Sea Bass with some larger Porgies mixed in.  The rods were bending almost continuously and kept our mates and anglers busy.  Ifa Gordon from the Bronx NY won the first place in the pool with a 3 lb Porgy and Maria Torres also of the Bronx won the edible pool with a 4 lb Sea Bass.
