Montauk

2 species of dolphins and tons of pelagic birds! Our first 2023 whale watch was on a windy and bouncy day. We had reports of whales and dolphins in the area. Shortly after passing Montauk Light we found our first group of about 60 bottlenose dolphins, stayed with them for a while. We headed further…

Capt Mike reports a difficult afternoon of fishing today on the Viking Star. High winds made for a tough afternoon. We did manage to boat a few nice SeaBass, Porgy, and a very large Fluke, despite the poor conditions. There was no pool on the boat this afternoon. We will definitely be sailing again tomorrow (Monday, July 3rd) on both the AM and PM 1/2 Day fishing trips either from 8am-12pm or 1pm-5pm.

Captain Carl reports a bit of a tough day on our Full Day Block Island Fluke and Sea Bass trip. We started off with the Full Moon Flood tide and wind together drifting at 2.2 kts. Once that started to settle down, we started picking away with 2-3 keepers per drift. Then, we broke the…

Capt Dave reports an off day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. The full moon flood tide was running hard today and made for more difficult fishing. When the conditions righted themselves we found ourselves in a nice pile of large Porgies. The SeaBass seemed to be on the smaller size today, with not as many keepers as throws. We also had a handful of Blue fish on the boat today and released a 40 lb Striped Bass as it was over slot limit. The pool winner went unnamed today, but won the pool with a 3.1 lb Porgy. We are definitely sailing again tomorrow (Monday, July 3rd) on our 5 am Montauk Lighthouse Porgies & SeaBass.

Capt Mike reports a tougher morning fishing on the Viking Star. Fishing was slower than it’s been lately, still managed to find some keeper SeaBass and Fluke, but had to pick our way through a lot of short stuff. We did however find some nice Porgies. Overall, it was a slow morning. The pool winner for this mornings trip was Jim Koches from South Carolina with a 3 1/2 lb Fluke.

Capt J.R. reports a good trip last night on the Viking Star. Lots of action all around the boat. Both the jigs and the eels were producing stripers and blues right from the start. The blue fish were a little heavier than usual but we landed a good amount of keeper bass and some throwbacks….

Capt Mike reports a decent afternoon on the Viking Star. It started off pretty slow picking away at Porgies and Sea Bass and the occasional short Fluke. The last hour of fishing picked up with nice Jumbo Porgies, Big Sea Bass and several keeper Fluke.

Capt Dave reports fantastic fishing on the Viking Starship. We started out at the lighthouse and had large and jumbo Porgies with a bunch of Bluefish mixed in. After that we went offshore for the Sea Bass. It was a lot of picking through little ones to get to the keepers, but pretty much everyone had their limit. There were also some Porgies mixed in out there. About a 1/2 dozen keeper Fluke were caught as well.

Capt Mike reports a good mixed bag morning on the Viking Star.  It was a steady morning of Sea Bass and Porgies. A few nice keeper 20 inch plus Fluke were landed as well. There was no pool.

Capt Mike reports a good afternoon on the Viking Star. It started slow, but picked up to steady. We had a couple of nice Fluke and Porgies. Porgies where steady with a couple nice jumbos in the mix. Everyone left with bags of fish!
