Capt Dave reports a harder day than usual on the Viking Starship. We had to look around a lot because of the water quality after Hurricane Erin, which was to be expected.

The edible pool winner was Carlos Olayzola with a 7 lb Weakfish.

Capt Dave G reports a better trip this afternoon than this morning. We still had breezy conditions, but less than earlier. We managed to catch some porgies, sea bass and fluke, but not many keepers. Fishing should improve in the next day or 2 as conditions improve.
