Capt Dave reports an excellent day on the Viking Starship. We started out anchoring up west of the lighthouse. Fishing was great and it made the day! On the way back we made a stop by the lighthouse. It was a bit slow, but the quality was there with really good size Porgies. The pool winner was Nate Marner from Roslyn, NY with a 2.81 lb Porgy.

Capt Dave reports good fishing on the Viking Starship. We spent most of our time drifting by the lighthouse where we had a mix of everything! There was a ton of bait and we saw Jumbo Porgies, Fluke, Striped Bass – 3 Keepers, Bluefish and Sea Bass that were released unharmed. The first place pool winner was Harold Cobin from Merrick, NY with a 3 lb Porgy. The edible pool winner was Darrel Greenwood from Norfolk, VA with a 5 lb Bluefish.

Capt Derek reports that we started off the afternoon with plenty of action, but the wind was against the tide. We gave it a little time and we were able to manage a couple keepers along with some shorts. After that we tried to go to an area where the tide wouldn’t be as bad, but there were only shorts and some nice big Seabass to be caught. Fishing was definitely tougher than the morning but there was plenty of life around. The pool was won by Vinny Garidas from Westbury,  NY with a 6.5lb Fluke.

Capt Dave reports a decent day on the Viking Starship. The east wind had the Porgies off the bite resulting in a slow pick, but the fish were big. Some anglers retained their limit. We also had a few Bluefish. The pool was a tie between Charles Duhaney from Bronx, NY and Medlin Jackson from Brooklyn, NY with 3 lb Porgies.

Capt Derek reports that we started off the morning great on the Viking Star. We had two nice fluke right away and thought it was going to be a great bite. Unfortunately, we had a lot of shorts and some Seabass. We made a little move and found jumbo Seabass that we can’t keep until June 23rd when the season opens, but it was nice to see plenty around. We got a couple more keepers and still had plenty of shorts. Hopefully the bigger Fluke start to move in soon. The pool winner was Victoria Knox from Boston, MA With a 4.5lb Fluke. Honorable mention goes to Jack Hammel with a 7lb Fluke.

Capt Derek reports that we started off the afternoon where fishing was decent in the morning. We only caught some short Fluke, a couple Scup, and some Seabass that were all released. We made a move to the lighthouse and fishing wasn’t much better. The day ended with a couple jumbo Scup and a 7.6lb Fluke caught by Robert Caffiero.

Capt Dave reports an excellent day of fishing today on the Porgy grounds. In fact he said it was the best day of the 2020 season so far. They drifted right around the lighthouse and had plenty of mostly large and Jumbo Porgies as well as some nice sized Blues mixed in. A great day overall! The pool was won by Denis Ronis with a 3.2lb Porgy.  The edible pool was taken by Adris Hidalgo with a 4lb Bluefish .

Capt Dave G reports a bit of a slower morning on the Viking Star. The water hasn’t warmed up yet and the fish are a bit scattered. Still it was a beautiful morning on the water and we ended up with a mixed bag of Fluke, Porgies and a Bluefish. We also caught a bunch of short Fluke and Sea Bass, all of which were released unharmed. The pool winner was Robert Caffiero of Fresh Meadows who caught a beautiful 5.75lb Fluke .

Capt Derek D reports that they went down to the lighthouse and found the birds so we started off jigging. We had a slow but steady pick of Bluefish and some short Bass. After the Blues went away we stayed where we were and started drifting for Porgies. We picked away at nice size Porgies and ended up with a decent catch. Overall it was a solid morning of fishing and everyone went home with plenty of fish.  

Capt Dave reports a tough day on the Viking Starship. It was slower today with the left over ground swell that shut us down a bit. We had 1 hour of really good fishing with quality size Porgies coming over the rails. We made a few more drops and it was a slow pick. We also saw some Bluefish and SeaBass – that were released unharmed! The pool winner today was Noel Henson from Brooklyn, NY with a 3 lb Porgy.
