Captain JR reports an ok night on the Viking Starlite, with periods of good squid fishing mixed with a slower pick. Squid of all sizes were landed, including some very nice jumbos.

The edible pool winner was John Orgera from Freeport, NY with a 4 lb Sea Bass.

Captain Carl reports a strong start to the night with the first hour being a good pick of quality sashimi grade Longfin Squid. The bite got picky after that. We watched swarms of giant squid swimming on the surface all around the boat, but they were being chased by predators, so it was tricky to…
