Captain JR reports another wonderful afternoon of catching onboard the Viking Star. Lots of action with Sea Bass and Porgies making up a majority of the catch along with a few short Fluke. Everyone had big beautiful bags of fish to take home. Today’s pool winner was Jeannine DiFiore with a 3.2 lb Sea Bass.

Capt Dave reports good fishing on the Viking Starship. The trip started off down the beach with a nice pick of good size Porgies. We worked our way back to the lighthouse and had a steady pick of mixed size Porgies with some keeper Sea Bass, about 20 Triggerfish, Fluke and Cocktail Blues in the…

Captain JR reports a gorgeous morning of catching onboard the Viking Star. We found loads of action with Sea Bass, Porgies, and a few Fluke bending our rods. No keeper Fluke this morning, but lots and lots of big Porgies, and delicious Sea Bass went in everyone’s bucket. Lots of fish dinners for all! The…

Capt Dave reports good fishing on the Viking Starship. We started off way down the beach out of the tide and we had nice size Porgies. Once a whale showed up the fishing really slowed down, so we headed to the lighthouse. It was a steady pick of drifting with mixed size Porgies. We then worked our way east and had a few keeper Sea Bass, Porgies, Fluke and Triggerfish. Mike Zakas from Northport, NY won the first place pool with a 3 lb Porgy. The edible pool winner was Jason Mills from Bronx, NY with a 4 lb Fluke.

Captain Carl reports an action packed beautiful morning on the half day boat. We saw plenty of Sea Bass, Porgies, and Flukes! The Fluke size, however, was on the small side and we released many. Everyone is still going home with plenty of tasty fresh filets!

Capt Dave reports a fun afternoon on the Viking Star. We had a lot of action the whole trip. There were keeper Sea Bass and Porgies. All of the Fluke caught were shorts. The pool winner was Liam McPeake with a 3.7 lb Sea Bass.

Captain JR reports a BREEZY afternoon onboard the Viking Star. The conditions were definitely tough with the wind, but we made the most of it and found some Sea Bass, Porgies, and Fluke. However, it wasn’t the action packed experience we have been used to. Edwin Cabrera was the pool winner with a 3 lb…

Capt Dave reports a tougher morning on the Viking Starship. We started at the lighthouse and it was not as good as we have been seeing. Porgies were way off the bite. They were mostly mediums with some larger. We worked our way east and found tons of little Sea Bass with a handful of…

Captain JR reports loads of action this morning on the Viking Star. We found lots of Sea Bass, Porgies, and a few fluke everywhere we went. Everyone had a very nice mixed bag of fish to take home. The pool winner was Miki Cipriani from Weehawken, N with 2.6 lb Sea Bass.

As we always do, we began our trip reminding passengers that we have no idea what we will see as these are wild animals that can move tremendous distances and we are here to observe their natural behaviors (this is not a scripted experience with baited or caged animals); every trip is different. On many occasions this season, that has meant surprises that we could have never anticipated; encounters and observations rarely seen and some more often seen, but always unexpected and amazing. Unfortunately, it also means that sometimes we may find no whales or dolphins at all, and although extremely rare, that was the case aboard Sunday’s adventure. As we sailed through the area where two different humpbacks were encountered just the day prior, it was evident that both whales moved on and no sign of them could be…
