Capt Carl reports a fine morning of fishing on today’s morning trip! Despite the breeze, fishing conditions were great aboard the large and stable 104 ft Viking Star. Our anglers all managed to catch the usual suspects of Keeper Fluke, Sea Bass, and Porgies with very, very few Sea Robin! Great fun was had by…

Capt Dave reports an excellent day of Porgy and Sea Bass fishing. The trip started by drifting close to the Montauk Point Lighthouse, where the porgy fishing was fantastic. Everyone on board caught numerous jumbo Porgies. After the porgy fishing by the lighthouse, the trip sailed more offshore, where a mass of mixed-sized Sea Bass was caught. A couple of nice-sized Fluke were caught in the mix while offshore. Today’s pool winner was Kenneth Price from Queens, NY, with a 2-pound porgy. Tomorrow’s trip is cancelled.

On our fourth whale watch of the 2024 season, we replaced the heat and humidity on land for cool, offshore breezes at sea. Dense fog blanketed the Point, so we headed south to deeper water where visibility improved. Here, we encountered a small group of bottlenose dolphins, likely Tamanend’s, approximately seven miles from shore. This pod of 8-12 included, upon later photographic investigation, a young calf, which bore the light vertical lines from fetal folding while in the uterus. These lines remain on the young dolphin for up to a few months after birth. We continued in search of the whales and dolphins encountered in this same area just four and six days earlier. Unfortunately, the water which was a beautiful turquoise green, was now devoid of prey. Occasional groups of shearwaters (Cory’s and Great) and a few ‘rafts’ of…
