Montauk

Capt JR reports that they had a great trip this afternoon on the Viking Star. We worked some deep water holes for lots of big delicious Sea Bass, with a good showing of jumbo Porgies too. There were also a fair amount of Fluke in the mix during the trip. Today’s pool winner went to Jhojan Macario from Oceanside, NY with a 4.25lb Sea Bass.

Capt Dave reports that they started the day up to the north were they anchored up to stay out of the remaining swells from yesterday’s bad weather. Fishing was very good and everyone caught plenty of Porgies. The Porgies we landed today were large with some Jumbos mixed in, as well as some quality Seabass. We moved to the lighthouse where fishing was tough today so we headed back north and ended the day with plenty more keeper Porgies and Seabass.  All in all a very good day of fishing was had onboard the Viking Starship. Randolph Mims of NY NY was today’s pool winner with a 2.4lb Porgy.

Capt. JR reports a slow morning on the Viking Star. Yesterday’s tropical storm definitely had an effect on today’s fishing. Action was a little slower than usual, however, we did manage to catch some nice sea bass and porgies with a few keeper fluke in the mix. The  Fluke pool winner was Ramsin from Littleneck…

We’re back at it again: Humpback and short-beaked common dolphins! It was the perfect day to get on the water, escape the heat, and look for whales and dolphins. The visibility was good, as were the seas and we headed out to the SSE. It was an hour before we found our first blows from a humpback whale.  We traveled with this whale as it searched for food over the next 75 minutes and 2 nautical miles, sometimes being down for 7-8 minutes. This was a young humpback and one we’d not seen before, our 139th different humpback off Montauk since 2009. On our way back, we encountered a rambunctious pod of 30 short-beaked common dolphins! 1 Humpback whale 30 Short-beaked common dolphins 1 Thresher shark 40 Cory’s shearwaters 20 Great Shearwaters 15 Wilson’s Storm Petrels

Capt Dave reports an excellent day on the Viking Starship. We started out again down the beach and had a mix of smaller Porgies. After that we headed to the lighthouse and found plenty of JUMBO Porgies. There was some time left so we spent about 40 minutes on the SeaBass grounds and had slightly slower action than we have been seeing. The pool winner was Tony Ho from NYC with a 2 3/4 lb Porgy.

Capt JR reports that we started out the trip with a decent pick of Fluke with some keepers in the mix all around the Viking Star. We ventured offshore a bit to target some Sea Bass to end off the trip. We had a good pick of quality Knothead Sea Bass to round out the…

Capt JR reports that the wind and tide were even stronger this afternoon making conditions EXTREMELY tough for a large majority of the trip. However, when the current eased off we returned to our usual areas and found lots of Fluke. Unfortunately, their size did not match the ones we found for our morning trip….
