Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

Capt. Dave reports a day of excellent Porgy fishing. The first few hours we had great conditions and great fishing with mostly large and jumbo Porgies being caught. We did have a couple Seabass today but the Porgies were really biting. The tide started to run hard towards the end of the trip which made…

Captain JR reports a pleasant pick of fish this morning on the Viking Starship. The catching was much as it’s been; a pick of fluke, sea bass, and porgies. A gorgeous morning to be to be out on the water. Congratulations to our pool winner, Mason Kardon of Brooklyn, NY, who caught a 3-pound Porgy….

With temperatures on land reaching the mid to upper 90s, a trip on the water amidst cool breezes and beautiful seas would have been enough. Then came the dolphins; three small groups of Tamanend’s bottlenose numbering approximately 40-60 individuals before we even passed the lighthouse. Then, on our way to the feeding grounds, we encountered scores of short-beaked common dolphins moving towards and around our vessel to the sheer delight of all onboard. But that was just the appetizer. Blows were spotted in the distance and we investigated. Those blows belonged to an unbelievable number of endangered finback whales; at least 8 confirmed at one time with more likely beneath the surface. Seeing a fin whale is a treat on any day, but seeing this many as they fed on the abundant bait (visible as dark shoals near the surface…

Capt Dave reports decent fishing on the Viking Star. Porgy fishing was very good early, it was an excellent shot for about two hours. Once the tide ran hard we went down the beach and anchored up and fishing was okay. Anglers were looking to move around, so Dave obliged. We tried out some drifting…

Captain Carl reports a beautiful morning on our 1/2 Day fishing trip with some awesome family groups! Our anglers enjoyed some good steady action catching Sea Bass, Porgies, and Fluke!

Capt JR reports a decent afternoon on the Viking Star. We had pretty ok pick of fish for most of the trip. The remnants of the full moon made it a bit tough with the strong current.  But, we still ended up ok with the usual mix of Sea Bass, Porgies, and Fluke. No Pool…

Captain JR reports a gorgeous morning onboard the Viking Star. The fishing was much like it has been. We had a pick all trip with sea bass, porgies, and a few fluke coming up throughout the adventure. The pool winner was Luca Mazzeo from Bronx NY with a 2.9 lb Fluke.

Capt Steven Sr reports an amazing trip on the Viking Starship. To start off the trip we had a solid bite of medium size Tiles, lots of Pollock, Cusk and Hake. A real mixed bag! We filled the coolers to the max and called it a day. On day two we searched for large and…

Captain JR reports a breezy morning on the Viking Star! However, we found some nice calm waters to fish and had a decent pick of Fluke, Sea Bass, and Porgies. It turned out to be a gorgeous morning with some nice fish for dinner. No pool today.

Captain JR reports just a pick of fish this afternoon on the Viking Star. The trip started a bit tough with the heavy full moon tide, but when conditions improved so did the catching. Sea bass, Porgies, and Fluke kept us busy and everyone ended up with some fish. Not a bad afternoon on the…

Capt. Dave reports a great day of fishing! We had non-stop action all day. There was one drift where the bite was a little off but after that we had constant action. We had tons of Porgies a couple Seabass, some Fluke, and some Striped Bass that were too big to keep. The pool winner…
