Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

Captain JR reports a bit of a tough day for the Coxes trip onboard the Viking Star. We pushed pretty far offshore to try and find a quality late season bite. A few spots had some pretty good action with big sea bass, cod, and ling. However, it definitely wasn’t the lock and load fishing…

Captain JR reports a pretty good trip out to the wrecks onboard the Viking Starship. We had no problem hitting a few spots that had lots of big knot head sea bass, but the cod bite was a little off from what we usually see on these trips. However, we picked away all day and…

Capt Dave reports a slower day on the Viking Star. We fished a wreck first thing and had nice keeper Sea Bass. Then we headed off to the east and had good action on the hard bottom, but there were mostly small Sea Bass. There were plenty of Bergalls, 1 Cod and a few Porgies…

Capt JR reports a very productive day onboard the Viking Star. We had no problem finding the jumbo Knothead Sea Bass with everyone easily getting a limit. We also found some nicer Cod everywhere we went with Ling, giant Scup, and a few Pollock topping off the catch. Solid day all around. The Cod pool…

Capt Dave reports a slow day on the Viking Starship. We looked around at a lot of spots, but unfortunately they really weren’t chewing today. There were a handful of Porgies, a handful of good Sea Bass with a bunch of small mixed in, a few Cod and a lot of Bergalls. The pool winner…

Capt Dave reports a good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. Today’s action seemed to favor more towards the SeaBass with most anglers having their limit of some nice keeper sized fish. The Porgy bite was ok, they were around just not really chewing, but we manged some decent Scup on the boat….

Capt Dave reports a decent day of fishing on the Viking Starship. Sea Bass fishing was excellent. There were plenty and they were nice size. The Porgy fishing was tough. Everyone only managed a handful. Maybe when it calms down they will chew better. We also had a dozen Cod for the light crowd we…

Capt Dave reports a good day on the Viking Starship. We started off inside of the island. It was straight Sea Bass of mixed size, everything from small to large. We made a move and found more Sea Bass. Then we moved a bit more to the east and found the Porgies there. There were mixed size double header Porgies with all BIG Sea Bass! We also had a handful of Cod and some Mackerel. No pool today. All trips are cancelled tomorrow, Thursday, December 5th due to the very windy conditions expected.

Captain JR reports a fair day of fishing onboard the Viking Star. We had to do a little looking around as we haven’t been out to the ledge in about a week, but it wasn’t half bad. We easily got a very nice limit of nice knot head sea bass and also a good showing…

Capt Dave reports a very good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. Today was an all around mixed pick at just about every drop we saw equal amounts of both Porgies and SeaBass both on the larger side. We also had Blue fish, Mackerell, and Green Bonita on the boat as well today….

Captain Carl reports that the weatherman got it wrong last night. The wind was blowing hard from the NW, making very uncomfortable and unpleasant conditions. Yes, we did still catch some squid, but we had to call the trip early and give everyone credit towards future fishing trips. Tonight has the same weather forecast up, so we will not be sailing. There are still millions of Squid out here in Montauk, and we will sail again on the next good weather night. We will post our next trip as soon as we know!

Capt Dave reports an okay day on the Viking Starship despite the weather. We had tough wind conditions and the bite was off. It was hard to feel them biting, but what we did catch was very good size. We also had about a dozen Cod up to 12 lbs. The first place pool winner was Benny Basurto from Staten Island with a 2 lb Porgy. The edible pool winner was Miguel Atens with a 12 lb Cod. We are not sailing tomorrow due to the wind conditions expected. We will be back at it Monday at 5AM and the weather forecast looks beautiful!
