Montauk

This was a tremendous and memorable trip! We started out toward an area with heavy bait and numerous reports of cetacean activity. En route, we encountered a juvenile humpback whale that was spending brief intervals at the surface, just enough to give everyone a quick look, before we decided to move on. Within a few…

Capt Dave G reports a good afternoon of fishing aboard the Viking Starlite. We had a great start to the afternoon, with nice keeper Seabass and nice Fluke. The second half of the trip was a little slower, after the breeze picked up. Still, we had a nice catch for the trip. The pool winner…

Capt Dave G reports a very good morning of fishing aboard the Viking Starlite. We started off a bit slowly, but fishing improved as the morning went on. We caught fluke, sea bass, porgies, bluefish and a striped bass, and ended up with some big porgies and some blues. There was no pool this morning.

Oh, what a trip we had- 5 species of cetaceans!! Our 2025 season is getting better and better. Today’s trip initially brought us to a small group of ~20 Tamanend’s bottlenose dolphins. Quickly we began to find more groups, , and ultimately a massive aggregation of 300 individuals. We stayed with them for a while and then headed further offshore and found a zone with finback whales and their characteristic 20’ tall inverted coned-shaped blows. The water column was loaded with sand eels and the surface loaded with pelagic birds. We were able to get ID photos from about 6-8 finbacks, although we could see blows in every direction for a few miles.  After a while we decided to check out the humpbacks in the same area. Celebration, Loon, and a few others to be ID’d were there. Celebration regularly…

Captain JR reports a tougher day on the mighty Viking Starlite. Today’s trip to the waters off Block Island was definitely not as rewarding as our last voyage. Just a pick of sea bass and fluke all day. We ended the day with some fish but it was a grind. The pool winner was Connor…

Captain Mike Ricker reports plenty of Sea Bass caught by our anglers this morning. We had a steady pick of Porgies and Sea Bass all morning.
