Fishing Reports

Block Island Jumbo Porgies and Knothead Sea Bass Captain Dave reports a good day of fishing today aboard the Viking Starship.

Night Striped Bass We did sail last Saturday night for a Full Moon Striped Bass trip, but, unfortunately, the bass just are not around anymore. They have started their mass migration to the west so we will no longer be sailing on any night bass trips until next year. We want to thank everyone for joining us this year, and we look forward to next season! We will be adding some very special trips next year concentrating on sailing around the tide clock to ensure the best opportunities for our anglers, so be on the lookout next year! For now, if you are looking to go Striped Bass fishing, check out the boats in Captree and to the West into Sheepshead Bay. Thank you again from the Viking Fleet!

Block Island Jumbo Porgies & Knothead SeaBass Capt Dave reports an okay day on the Viking Starship. We had to contend with the dirty water left over from the storm which made fishing was a bit tough. There was not much biting close by, so we took a ride further offshore where we found mixed size Porgies that were mostly mediums and pretty good Sea Bass action with fish up to 5 lbs. As the day went on it got better. We also had 2 Cod and some Bluefish. The pool winner was Cheng Sun Wah from Staten Island with a 3.1 lb Porgy.
