Viking Fivestar

5/14-5/16 Capt Steven Jr reports after a long winter and spring of maintenance we finally got back out on our first offshore trip of 2021. We had excellent fishing in the deep on day one and a slow second day on the cod wrecks. On the first day we tried fishing a new area and…

Capt Steven Jr reports  a great day of Cod fishing with the boys from the James Joseph on the Viking Fivestar. We started off in the dark with a steady pick of fish with a few shots of multiple fish on at once. From there we jumped around on some smaller pieces and picked a few fish everywhere we went. It was good to see some fish spread around on different drops and a good amount of bait in the area. Things are looking promising for this winter we just need the weather to cooperate for us.

Capt Steven Jr reports that we had to do some traveling, but we put together a good day of fishing in the end. We started by block and after the first 20 minutes of fishing it was obvious that last weeks storm had shut the bite down. So we took a long ride offshore and fished some wrecks with steady action on nice Seabass, a couple cod and some other wreck dwellers. We put in some extra time and ended up being rewarded for it.  

Capt Steven Jr reports that we were able to sneak out Wednesday before the weather came on and put a slammer day together on the offshore wrecks! A swinging load of jumbo Seabass with a couple Cod and some big ling in the mix. We loaded everyone up with fresh fish for the holidays. We have another 30-50 mile wreck trip next Wednesday with a couple openings and there are some charter dates available for wreck trips before the Seabass season comes to an end.

Capt Steven Jr reports a picky but successful day with some quality Blackfish on the Viking Fivestar. The Seabass have made their move offshore with very few fish left inshore. With the lack of Seabass we decided to focus on Blackfish and we chipped away all day on some quality fish with a few hitting double digits. High hook had 14 keepers (orl) and just about everyone had their limit for the day with a couple of Seabass mixed in. As the Seabass move out we are hoping to see the Cod make an appearance to start off our winter season.

Capt Derek reports that Blackfishing today was definitely an improvement from yesterday on the Viking Fivestar. We managed to get the boat limit and they were nice sized fish. Seabassing was a little slower but the fish were a much nicer size then they have been. We also had a handful of nice quality Cod which is nice to see.

Capt Derek reports a little pickier of a bite on the Blackfish grounds than yesterday on the Viking Fivestar. We managed a couple of fish per person, but nothing great. Seabassing was just as good of a showing as yesterday, making up for the slower morning of Blackfishing. Everyone was able to end up with a nice pile of fish to bring home.

Capt Derek reports that we started off Blackfishing and right from the start it was lock and load on the Viking Fivestar. We made three drops and were able to get a boat limit in no time. Then we pushed off to go drift for Seabass. It started slow, but the last spot was lights out double header Seabass. Overall a great day for everyone.
