Half Day Fluke PM The afternoon fishing was on the slow side. Wind and tide made it tough. We managed to scratch together a small catch- a mix of sea bass, porgies ans fluke. Half Day Fluke AM Capt Ant reports a sensational fluke trip and summer bottom fishing trip.  We went where we have been going to start only to find every boat in Montauk combing the bottom.  We picked but not enough so we headed off to a new zone and it certainly paid off.  Large fat fluke, jumbo sea bass and monster porgy’s throughout a very long drift.  We wound up tallying 38 keeper fluke for 34 fares and did the majority in 3 drifts. Full Day Porgies and Sea Bass Fishing was a little slower than it has been due to the strong tides. When the…

Full Day Block Island Fluke and Sea Bass Capt Carl reports another solid day fishing for fluke and sea bass in Block Island. In the first minute of the first drift Tasso Tsiatis slammed a doormat fluke over 8lbs. We steadily picked away at quality keeper fluke for the whole morning, many around a little bit here and there. There was some sea bass in the mix as well as giant scup, one striped bass, one blue fish and even one codfish! We did get dogged out of some areas which hurt our sea bass totals but everyone had some. Tommy Alexopolous did work totaling 8 keepers (orl) to…

Block  Island Behemoth Trophy Hunt Captain Ant reports an excellent night at Block, with both quantity and quality.  We actually had our best night of the year for quantity and totaled 5 fish over the 30lb mark.  Two  anglers especially were on fire.  Chris “Cool Hand” Luke had 5 total bass, a 37.2lb pool fish, a 34, a 28 another keeper around 10lbs and a throwback…nothing like getting the smallest and the largest.  Frank “Guiness” Stoutenberg was the first to nail a Behemoth and came in second with a 36.8lb trophy.  Frank also added a 31, and 26lb fish.  Jonny “Jesus of the Elbow” had his limit to 34lbs, Our good old friend Don “Juan” Mitchell nailed a beauty, always silent but deadly with the rod and reel!!!  “The Big Man” Jeff Thompson also had his limit to about 25lbs….

Night Striped Bass Capt. Ant reports a frustrating night of Bassing.  15-20kts out of the SW against a strong Ebb…yuck..tough drifting conditions had us drifting backwards in order to keep the lines straight.  The fish were there and stacked and biting, but they were biting tentatively.  I saw 3 fish come up last night just holding the eel tail, never getting the hook, and it wasn’t from swinging early.  You really had to be experienced to catch last night as our regulars, Chris Luke, Doug Seay and Jonny Jesus of the Elbow Rewinski tallied 3,2,2, respectively.  Chris himself said he missed about 12 bites.  So overall all we scratched and clawed and put a catch together with some absolute beauty Moo Cow Linesiders in the mix as well with two fish breaking the 35lb mark and, by divine intervention a…

Sunset Stripers Jigging Trip Capt. Ant reports the Sunset Striper Slam on Monday was full of action for the first 2 hours but as the tide slowed o did the catching.  We started bailing blues, our first two drifts producing about 50 of the sabre toothed alligators.  We moved zones and found some beautiful bass and continued to bloody the Viking Star.  Unfortunately that was short lived, but not after Angelo nailed 3 (orl)..man was he on fire.  Jonny “Jesus” of the Elbow” Rewinski brought a couple of disciples who also caught a bass apiece, Jonny however could only manage the choppers.  Overall we had about a third of the boat catch a bass and about 90% catch a blue or 6:)  Great crew, Great Sunset, another great summer night of Viking Fishing!The Pool winner was Jeff Thompson from Elmont,…
