Capt Steven Sr reports a productive trip on the Viking Star. The first day we trolled a couple of Yellowfin on the way out. We also got in some bottom fishing and it was very good. We had Tile, Hake, Cod and jigged a White Marlin. After that we set up for the night bite where we had 3 Yellowfin and got 1 Swordfish in the boat. Two Swordfish were released and we had a lot of other bites broken off. On day two we got on the troll and it didn’t produce. Bottomfishing was good for the first 4 hours then it slowed down.  We then had a few Yellowfin trolling and diamond jigging. On the night bite Tiger Sharks up to 1,500 lbs found us so we called it a trip! We did troll 3 more Yellowfin on…

Capt Steven Jr reports another great trip offshore this week with a nice load of Yellowfin and Tiles. We had one Yellowfin right around the 100lb mark and Tiles up to 34lbs. We had nice mix of bottom dwellers and a fat Wahoo! We have a few more Tuna trips in October with some openings so give us a call at the office to get booked!

Capt Steven Jr reports another great trip last week on a 3 day charter. We had a nice load of quality Yellowfin, 5 Big eyes, a fat Sword, a load of Mahi and a handful of Tiles and some other bottom dwellers. The Big Eyes were from 150 lbs up to 193 lbs and the Sword weighed in just shy of 170 lbs. Over all another great trip with an awesome group that took home a load of meat.

3 Day TNT – 8/7 to 8/9 Capt Steven Jr reports that we put together a good trip with good bottom fishing and a little slower on the Tuna fishing. As far as the pelagic we had a tough time getting the Yellows to cooperate, but we managed a couple Yellows, a nice Big Eye around 150lbs and a couple of Swordfish. Tile fishing was good with action everywhere we went with Tiles up to 34 lbs. We also had Barrel fish up to 26lbs, some Pollock, Hake, Blueline Tile, Rosie’s and a Wreckfish. Everyone went home with a nice variety of fish. We recently added some Tuna trips for September and October!!

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…
