Capt Steven Sr reports absolutely !Stupid! fishing on the Viking Star. The bottom was paved with SeaBass and blanketed with Porgies!! We couldn’t keep the bait down long enough to get to the Cod, but we did manage a couple. The Cod pool winner was Mauel Lucero from Corona, NY with a 12 pounder. The edible pool winner was Frank Deluca from Staten Island, NY with a  4 1/4 lb SeaBass. The next dates we will be sailing for this trip will be Saturday November, 30th and Sunday December 1st.

Capt Dave reports decent fishing in the rough and windy conditions. We had a small group braving the elements who were treated to nice size SeaBass up to 4 lbs and a mix of medium and large Porgies. Anglers had no problem getting their limit of big SeaBass along with a bunch of Scup. We also had about a dozen Cod, two 12 lb Pollock and 2 Bonito. There was no pool today.

Capt Steven Jr reports an excellent day fishing the wrecks on the Viking Fivestar. The offshore wrecks only produced a pick but we had the quality sized Seabass! We ended the day closer inshore and had excellent fishing topping off the coolers with Seabass and a few more Cod. Bruce Wahl from Greenport, NY was high hook with the Cod pulling 5 off the wrecks and everyone had their limit of big Seabass with a few Scup, Ling, and other wreck dwellers mixed in.

Capt Dave reports very decent fishing on the Viking Starship. We saw more Porgies than we have been seeing lately. There were plenty of SeaBass up to the 4 lb range and everyone had their limit. We fished deeper water today so they were a nicer quality fish. We also had about 10 Cod up to 16 lbs. Unfortunately that angler was not in the pool! The first place pool winner was Randy Cooper from Hanover, NJ with a 2.6 lb Porgy. The edible pool winner was Yen Ping Chang from NYC with a 13 lb Cod.

We had James Hom and company out on the Viking Fivestar and put together a nice catch for the day. The Blackfishing was slow with a big left over ground swell and dirty water, but further offshore we were able to get an easy limit of big Seabass with a mess of Scup and a couple Cod.

Capt Dave reports good fishing on the Viking Starship. We started out in the deep and the drift was good. Once that slowed down and some dogfish showed up we moved to the shallower water and anchored. We had a nice pick of Porgies, SeaBass and a couple of Cod with limits around the boat. We also had some Bonito, Trigger Fish, and a handful of Bluefish. The first place pool winner was Glen Montrose from Brooklyn with a 2.8 lb Porgy. The edible pool winner was Tony Lewis from NY with a 6 lb Bonito. This trip will be sailing Wednesday morning a 5AM.
