Captain JR reports an action packed afternoon on the Viking Star. We found lots of action everywhere we went with Sea Bass, big Porgies, and Fluke keeping everyone very busy. We scooped up several nice keeper Fluke to round out the afternoon of catching. The pool winner was Ron Ocean from East Hampton, NY with…

Capt. Dave reports an excellent morning of Porgy fishing again today. We started out by the Lighthouse where we has some little stuff, but then went to deeper waters where we had a very steady good pick of Porgies. By mid trip everybody had their share of beautiful Porgies, but we wanted to get some…

This was a tremendous and memorable trip! We started out toward an area with heavy bait and numerous reports of cetacean activity. En route, we encountered a juvenile humpback whale that was spending brief intervals at the surface, just enough to give everyone a quick look, before we decided to move on. Within a few…

Capt Dave G reports a good afternoon of fishing aboard the Viking Starlite. We had a great start to the afternoon, with nice keeper Seabass and nice Fluke. The second half of the trip was a little slower, after the breeze picked up. Still, we had a nice catch for the trip. The pool winner…

Captain Dave reports a nice day of fishing. We started off with a very strong bite, reeling up plenty of Porgies. Then we managed to find some great mix-sized Sea Bass. Congratulations to our pool winners, Al from Portland, NY, who caught a 3.6 lb Porgy and David Ball from Belmont, NY, who caught a…

Capt Dave G reports a very good morning of fishing aboard the Viking Starlite. We started off a bit slowly, but fishing improved as the morning went on. We caught fluke, sea bass, porgies, bluefish and a striped bass, and ended up with some big porgies and some blues. There was no pool this morning.

Oh, what a trip we had- 5 species of cetaceans!! Our 2025 season is getting better and better. Today’s trip initially brought us to a small group of ~20 Tamanend’s bottlenose dolphins. Quickly we began to find more groups, , and ultimately a massive aggregation of 300 individuals. We stayed with them for a while and then headed further offshore and found a zone with finback whales and their characteristic 20’ tall inverted coned-shaped blows. The water column was loaded with sand eels and the surface loaded with pelagic birds. We were able to get ID photos from about 6-8 finbacks, although we could see blows in every direction for a few miles.  After a while we decided to check out the humpbacks in the same area. Celebration, Loon, and a few others to be ID’d were there. Celebration regularly…

Captain Mike Ricker reports a great Sea Bass fishing carried over from this morning. People were able to fill their buckets with Sea Bass and Porgies. We had a beautiful afternoon on the water. Congratulations to our pool winner, Peter Burke from Port Washington, NY, with a 2.8 lb Sea Bass.

Capt Dave reports a great day on the Viking Starship. We had a wonderful and lively Porgy fishing with mixed sizes and plenty of bites. Sea Bass continue to be challenging with mostly small fish. We also had a few Bluefish. The pool winner was Dennis Edwards from Great Neck, NY with a 3.6 lb…

Captain JR reports a tougher day on the mighty Viking Starlite. Today’s trip to the waters off Block Island was definitely not as rewarding as our last voyage. Just a pick of sea bass and fluke all day. We ended the day with some fish but it was a grind. The pool winner was Connor…
