Capt Dave reports a great trip on the Viking Starship. We started off around the lighthouse in excellent conditions. Drifting was good and we stayed there for 2 1/2 hours pulling up double header Porgies. Every cooler was full of Porgies, so we headed to the east to do some Sea Bass fishing. There were…

Captain JR reports a wonderful morning onboard the Viking Star. We found lots of hungry Sea Bass, Porgies, and Fluke for our happy anglers to reel in. Lots of action, and again a VERY good showing of size large KEEPER Fluke to round out our morning haul. Many fish dinners headed home for our smiling…

Captain JR reports a MUCH better afternoon on the Viking Star! Lots of action all trip with Porgies,Sea Bass, and Fluke. A very nice showing of big keeper Fluke also made their way into our buskets. All around a HUGE improvement. The pool winner was Aiden Kim from Bayside, NY with a 4.6 lb Fluke.

Capt. Dave reports a slow start to the day today. The usual spots we go to were all dirty and turned up from the recent bad weather so we had to move around and find some calm water. Once we did that fishing improved greatly. We had a mixed bag of nice size fish. We…

Spectacular whale watching continues into August! With a full boat of passengers, we sailed into our first trip of August hoping to find what we had been so fortunate to encounter throughout July (and late June)! On our way to the feeding grounds south of Montauk, we encountered numerous small pods of Tamanend’s bottlenose dolphin…

Captain JR reports a slower morning onboard the Viking Star. The remaining ground swell from Monday’s bad weather definitely turned the bite off. We had a slow start, but as the trip progressed we had more and more life with Seabass, Porgies, and Fluke. Even rounded up a couple of nice keeper Fluke at the…

Captain JR reports an action packed afternoon onboard the mighty Viking Star. Everywhere we went we found lots of hungry Seabass, Fluke, and Porgies. The big delicious Seabass made a very impressive showing with a few people getting a very nice limit. A few very nice keeper Fluke topped off the catch. Lots of fish…

Capt. Dave reports another excellent day of fishing today! We had tons of action with a good mic of Porgies, Seabass, Bluefish and Fluke coming over the rails. We did have to pick through some shorts today but we made out just fine. As you can see from the pictures, the mates were on a mission to give the shorts their moment in the spotlight today. The keepers must’ve been camera shy! The pool winner was Westley George from Hackensack, NJ, with a 2.7 lb Porgy.  

Captain JR reports a good morning on the Viking Star. Lots of action with PLENTY of Seabass, Porgies, and Fluke coming over the rail. We also had a few cocktail blues in the mix to add to the buckets. Everyone got a very nice collection of tasty fish to bring home for dinner. The first…
