Offshore

Capt Steven Jr reports that our first trip off to the deep was a productive one with the bottom fish, but slow on the Tuna fishing. Both days of bottom fishing we had steady action with Tiles, Pollock, Hake, Barrelfish, Cusk and a few Blue Line Tile. We spent both mornings and one evening on the troll and were only able to turn up 3 Yellows and a couple Marlin bites. At the end of the trip everyone went home with a nice load of deep water fillets and some Tuna. We are looking forward to get back out there at the end of next week. We hope the warm water keeps pushing closer and the Tuna fishing picks up. We have very limited openings for offshore trip until September so give us a call at the office and get…

Unfortunately, we will not be sailing on the overnight GOM Haddock/Pollack/Red Fish trip due to lack of interest and weather. Captain and crew are disappointed because this would have really been a great trip with fishing as excellent as it has been. We will look into rescheduling another trip up there after April 15th when the Haddock season opens back up. This Saturdays local weather looks good, and we are trying to sail on both the Viking Fivestar and Viking Star for Block Island Cod! Both trips have plenty of room and we need a few more people on each to get out there. We have plenty of fresh clams and shells! We will continue to sail for Cod on Saturday and Sunday thru March at 3AM on the Viking Star. We are also ADDING a NANTUCKET WRECK TRIP departing…

Capt Steven Sr reports our annual Xmas Nantucket Wreck fishing trip was as good as it could possibly get on the Viking Starship. From the first drop to the last every angler was kept busy. The first drop was insane with everyone pulling aboard multiple market-sized Cod, each one 26-28 inch or larger. The second and third drops saw a nice mix of Sea Bass and Pollock. The fourth drop we found “humpbacks”- Jumbo Sea Bass- many exceeding 5 pounds. A very competitive pool in every category! First place in the Cod pool went to Martin Wellen Dowd from Yorkville, Manhattan with a 12 pound Cod. First place in the Sea Bass pool went to Roman Stolyarchuk of Morristown, NJ with a 6 pound jumbo. Edible pool winner was Michael Bunch from Flanders, NY with a 10 pound Pollock.

It’s that time of year again! Captain Steven Sr. has finalized his exciting 2020 Offshore Schedule and booking is open for the spring thru fall trips on the Viking Starship, Viking Star and Viking Fivestar. Give us a call to choose your favorite fishing spots and bunks. Spots go fast on these very popular trips! Give us a call at 631-668-5700 or book online at vikingfleet.com.

Sun Sept 29 to Mon Sept 30 Capt Steven Jr reports another great trip offshore with 19 Yellowfin, 1 Albicore and a few Mahi caught. We started off on the troll and had a few smaller Tuna and one around 60 lbs. The night chunk bite started off slow but by 2am we started a pick that turned into a non stop bite until we pulled the anchor to go home. We had a couple smaller Yellows, but most were 60-80 lbs which sent the guys home with a pile of meat. Fishing is still really good if you can get a group of guys together for a charter now is the time! We have open dates for charters in October so give us a call for all trip info and bookings!
