Viking FiveStar Private Tuna Charter We just returned late yesterday from a quick overnight trip to the edge and returned with a pair of nice big eyes! We got under way Monday afternoon and arrived in the deep just as the sun was setting. we got the lures in for about an hour and grabbed a small yellow fin. We then set up on a drift for the night with low expectations being that there hasn’t been much of a night bite yet this year. We did have a decent sword fish on for a little while but ended up pulling the hook when it got close to the boat. prior to sunrise we got all the lures out and started a slow troll and with in 5 minutes we had a knock down. Shortly after that two rods doubled…

Block Island Behemoth Trophy Hunt 2013 Viking MOO COWNTER Capt. Ant has one simple word for last nights Behemoth Bass trip to Block……..MOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! It was sick, plain and “udderly” simple as our first 10 drifts produced 5, yes 5 Block Island Behemoth Bass over 40lbs.  By no means was it a bloodbath, however this trip is about the Trophy of a lifetime and there were quite a few happy herders on the Starship when we hit the dock at 4a.  We tried a different rock pile last night and it paid off big time.  I still can’t believe Joe “Cowmis” Khamis.  Joe was last years Derby winner and all he has done this year is continued his slaughter of Moo Cow Linesiders.  Not one, not two, but three fish over 30lbs tonight. Not one, but 2 fish over 46lbs tonight….

Night Striped Bass Capt. Ant reports an EXCELLENT night of fishing on both jigs and eels.  We started the night with the last of the flood and found birds working and fishing rolling, we nailed a few bass, had a few shorts, some scup, 2 fluke and many Monster Blues.  With the rain came a quick sunset so we switched to eels for the last ounce of flood and nailed one more and dropped a couple.  The ebb never really got going though we picked up one up inside but it was slow for a an hour or so.  Then we stumbled upon a pile that lit the screen up.  Game on…bass and big blues .  All the bass were healthy going 20-25lbs with our biggest at 28.  We had fish on our last 7 drifts, a great way to…
