Capt Dave reports excellent fishing on the Viking Starship. We started out at the lighthouse in shallow water and the fishing was great with big Porgies. We then headed out to the SeaBass grounds. It started off slow with small fish, but once we got the tide big SeaBass started biting. The pool winner was Anthony Drain with a 3.3 lb Porgy.

Capt Dave reports good fishing aboard the Viking Starship. It was slower than the last few days, but we had a steady pick of mostly big Porgies at the lighthouse early this morning. Then we anchored about half way to the SeaBass spot and the Porgy fishing was Red Hot! This lasted for about a half hour with some SeaBass mixed in. After that we headed to the SeaBass spot where it started out slow with mostly Porgies, but the SeaBass started to bite after awhile and we had them up to 5 lbs. There was no pool today.

Great trip today on the Viking Starship with Captain Dave in the wheelhouse. Just 15 minutes after passing the Montauk Lighthouse we spotted our first Humpback whale. After leaving the Humpback whale we  saw 2 unidentified whales in the distance.  Passengers were seeing blow in every direction.  We came across 2 Finback whales.  One approached the boat and rolled and exposed their pale underside.  Quite the show from the “greyhound of the ocean”. Approximately 12 Bottlenose Dolphins joined the two Finback whales for a brief time.  After leaving the Finback whales we came across our second Humpback whale fluking several times.  This whale also gave us some flipper slapping which everyone enjoyed.  We continued our search for more marine life.  We continued to see many blows off in the distance.  Unfortunately we were again unable to identify these whales as…

Captain Dave M reports from the Viking Starship. Excellent conditions near the Montauk Lighthouse this morning. Mixed size fish but plenty of Porgies to fill the increased limit of forty-five per angler that started today. Then we headed East towards Block Island where we found plenty of action.
