COD!!!!! Capt Steven Jr reports a slammer day with the James Joseph crew and they put a beating on the Cod! All nice quality health green fish up to the mid teens and a couple pollock popped up too. We ended up a little shy of the boat limit but everyone had a load of fillets to go home with. The cod are here NOW! Don’t hesitate to call and get on a trip. We have limited spots on our up coming open boat trips and we have some open dates for charters. We also have the Viking Star sailing so give us a call and get in on action before it’s too late. You can reach us daily at 631- 668-5700 or book online at vikingfleet.com.

Capt Steven Sr reports an Outstanding Day on the Viking Star with fish on every drop! There were keepers and shorts all day long. The mates were busy filleting Cod on the way in and plenty of anglers went home without having them cleaned. Mavros “the cook” stepped outside at the right time. He dropped down and immediately had double header 8 lb Cod. After that he dropped right down and brought up another double header 8lber and a monster 28 1/2 Cod! In the end he had 7 Cod on 4 drifts. There was a lot more bait in the area and the Cod were green. We also had a bunch of Bergalls and some Mackerel. The first place pool winner was Karl Nilsen from Sag Harbor, NY with 16.5 Cod. The second place pool winner was Ron Lawyer…

Capt Steven Jr reports a decent day seeing Cod everywhere we went, but not in any big numbers. We picked away for most of the morning with a mix of keepers and shorts. Mid day things slowed down a bit then we picked a few more fish at the end of the day. Chris Montone was high hook with 7 keepers. The first place pool went to Michele Fronda from Brooklyn, NY with a 9 lb Cod and second place went to Frank Daskalakis from Brooklyn, NY with a 7 lb Cod.
