Tile/Cod Wrecks – Viking Star Capt. Steven Jr reports that they had a good trip, but we had to work for it. The tile fishing was on the tough side with a lot of small dog fish bothering us most of the day. But we did finally get away from them in the afternoon, and we were able to get on some solid fishing to save the day! A good shot of hake, barrel fish, and a couple wreck fish ended the day for us. The next day, we got on the cod wrecks and had a few fish on every drop, but we made the day on the last drop. Everyone got a good shot of cod, and few nice pollock to round out our trip.

Montauk Spring Jumbo Porgies Capt Dave reports a good day of fishing. We took the ride and had a good steady pick that lasted most of the day. When it slowed down a bit we made a move and it was a tougher bite. We had a really mixed size of fish from the biggest kind to just keepers. Everyone had their limit! We threw back some sea bass that were caught and we had a couple of weakfish. Luis Duran from Queens and Jose Parache tied for the pool with  3.3 lb Porgies.

Montauk Spring Jumbo Porgies – Viking Stariper Capt Dave reports a good morning bite close to home. The steady pick of good size fish lasted a few hours.

We are looking at some good sized fish coming over the rails, and the satisfactory smiles being put on customers faces is the best reward. To book the trip you can call the office, or walk up to the window the morning of! SEE YOU TOMORROW

Today, Saturday May 5th, Captain Dave took out the Viking Star on an early morning porgy trip. He reports that first they tried the close spot without much success, and after which they took a ride into the bay. This new spot produced a slow, steady pick of mostly nice sized porgies, but not quite as fast and furious as yesterday. But for the fishermen that could figure out the light bite, did manage a very good catch. 🐟   Split Pool Winners: Looks like we have tie! Frankie Marin, from Brooklyn, New York, and Ray McKenzie, also from Brooklyn, New York each caught a 3lb porgy.   The season is just beginning, the weather is good, and the fishing is quickly getting better.
