Fishing Reports

Striped Bass Fishing Capt Carl reports plenty of action on this evenings trip aboard the Viking Star. It was an earlier trip so we jigged most of the time and had plenty of action with a couple keeper Striped Bass, a couple shorts, a few Bluefish, some Sea Bass, and lots of giant scup. We did have some evil east wind for the trip making conditions difficult. The pool was won by Louis Gardell of NY, NY with a 14 lb. Striped Bass. We are looking forward to our upcoming June Moon trip!

The pool winner was Cornell Armstrong from Teaneck, NJ with a 3.11 lb Scup.
