Mon Sept 16 to Thurs Sept 19 – 3 Day TNT Ultra LTD
Captain JR reports a successful TNT trip on the Viking Star. Despite the approaching weather we were able to squeeze in two days and a night out at the eastern canyons. The tile fishing wasn’t as hot and heavy as our last trip, but still had a decent pick of tiles and other assorted bottom…
Wed Sept 18 – Montauk Lighthouse Jumbo Porgies & Knothead Sea Bass
Capt Dave reports good fishing on the Viking Starship. We began the trip up close to Block Island and had a good mixed bag of quality Porgies and mixed size Sea Bass. When the tide stopped running hard we headed to the west side of the island and it was a bail job of really nice stuff! We got in about an hour and a half of fishing there then headed back to Montauk. There was no pool today. The biggest Porgy was 3 lbs, biggest Sea Bass was 4lbs and we had a 5 lb Fluke. Unfortunately we will be taking off tomorrow due to the expected bad weather.
Mon Sept 16 – Montauk Lighthouse Jumbo Porgies & Knothead Sea Bass
Capt Dave reports a pretty decent day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. We headed to the east right off the bat this morning and had some issues with the tide. That strong full moon tide was running hard and seemed to bring back in the small SeaBass as we had to pick through…
Sun Sept 15 – Full Moon Striped Bass
Captain Carl reports another slower night on the Bass boat. We caught and released a couple GIANT Striped Bass in the 30-50 lb range and a few Blues, showing definite signs of the Fall Run beginning. We are gonna give it another go tonight! The pool winner went to Doug Keller from Southampton, NY.
Sun Sept 15 – 1/2 Day Fishing PM
Captain JR reports a much improved afternoon onboard the Viking Star. The change of tide turned the fluke bite on and we boated some beauties. We also had sea bass and porgies biting all trip keeping everyone busy at the rail. The first prize pool winner went to Eric Garcia from West Milford, NY with…
Sun Sept 15 – Full Day Block Island Fluke & Sea Bass
Capt Steven Sr. reports some nice action today on the Viking Starlite. Despite tough conditions with the wind off of Block Island, the bites were plentiful. We saw a lot of small SeaBass and short Fluke, but did find a good amount keeper SeaBass in the mix, with only a couple Fluke to bring home….
Sun Sept 15 – Montauk Lighthouse Jumbo Porgies & Knothead Sea Bass
Capt Dave reports another good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. We decided to start off in a similar area as yesterday so we set offshore to the east. With windier conditions today, we decided to drop anchor for our pick. The bite remained steady today on the SeaBass, seeing some really large…
Sun Sept 15 – 1/2 Day Fishing AM
Capt JR reports some action this morning on the Viking Star. With breezy conditions this morning, we did not have the most favorable fishing. However, we did see some action with decent size Seabass and Porgies. We bent rods on some small Fluke as well, but unfortunately had no keepers. The pool winner went to…
Sat Sept 14 – Full Moon Striped Bass
Captain JR reports a slight improvement in the local bass action. We had a few very nice stripers that were, unfortunately, much too big to keep. Also a few nice blues to bend the rods. Definitely not a slammer trip, but a positive sign for the rapidly approaching fall run.
Sat Sept 14 – 1/2 Day Fishing PM
Captain JR reports a pretty good afternoon of angling on the Viking Star. We didn’t have the super action packed experience of this morning, but we did have a nice pick of sea bass, porgies, and fluke to keep the rods bent. Definitely a better showing of quality fluke this afternoon though. Some very nice keepers were scooped up in our nets with a couple guys getting a nice limit of flatties. The pool winner went to Rodger from Smithtown, NY with a 3.6 lb Fluke!
