In September we have a couple of trips with some openings. Give us a call at (631)668-5700 or book online at vikingfleet.com

Capt Dave reports a good day on the Viking Starship. We started out with good conditions at the lighthouse and their was a lot of action with Porgies, but the wind came up and made it difficult so we went down the beach. It was good, but the fish were smaller. We then headed further down to find the SeaBass, but we found more Porgies than anything else. The SeaBass were a bit off today, but we did have action with some really nice size Trigger Fish and some Mackerel. The first place pool winner was Franz Pierre from Brooklyn, NY with a 2.95 lb Scup. The edible pool winner was Cosme Casanueva from Maywood, NJ with a 4.25 lb Trigger Fish.

The first place pool winner was Joe Khamis from Westchester, NY with an 8.25 lb Fluke. The second place pool winner was 17 year old Thatcher Danielson from Greenwich, CT with a 6.75 Fluke.

Breaching Humpbacks, Minkes, and a few Great shearwaters and a mature Northern gannet! Another beautiful day on the water with whales, what more can you want? Our minkes were “stinky” and avoided being photographed, but were seen none-the-less. Our humpbacks showed us most of their repertoire of aerial behaviors.   Our first pair of humpbacks included…

Fri Aug 9 – Montauk Jumbo Lighthouse & Porgies Capt Dave reports a good fishing on the Viking Starship. It was a slower start today, but we had some nice big Porgies at the lighthouse. We caught plenty of short SeaBass offshore. The jumbos were harder to come by, but everyone managed their limit. The first place pool winner was Charles Powell from Baldwin, NY with a 2.7 lb Scup. The edible pool winner was Mike Robinson with a 3.1 lb SeaBass.

Capt Phil reports a good morning on the Viking Star. There was a strong swell at the lighthouse, so we went to the north grounds. We put a nice trip together in the calmer conditions.

Capt Joe reports good fishing this afternoon on the Viking Star. We had a mix of Fluke, SeaBass and Porgies with decent action throughout the trip. The pool winner was Andrew Shea from Doylestown, NY with a 4.25 lb Fluke.

Captain Dave reports another fine day of fishing on the Viking Starship. Lots of action all day long. Drifts near the Montauk Lighthouse today culled loads of Porgies, but the Porgies were a little smaller than we’ve seen recently. Mostly mediums to large with only a few Jumbos. We sailed to the East again to load up on Sea Bass. We had to pick through a lot of shorts but everyone wound up with some quality Sea Bass keepers to take home. No keeper Fluke today or any exotics.

Capt. Carl reports an excellent afternoon with loads of Seabass and Porgies. The fluke fishing was on the slower side today. We had a good trip with nice weather and good conditions. The 1st place pool winner was Don Kleiman with a 5lb Seabass. The 2nd place pool winner was Sean Brassil from Hauppauge  NY…
