Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

Capt Dave reports another good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. We decided to start off in a similar area as yesterday so we set offshore to the east. With windier conditions today, we decided to drop anchor for our pick. The bite remained steady today on the SeaBass, seeing some really large…

Capt JR reports some action this morning on the Viking Star. With breezy conditions this morning, we did not have the most favorable fishing. However, we did see some action with decent size Seabass and Porgies. We bent rods on some small Fluke as well, but unfortunately had no keepers. The pool winner went to…

Captain JR reports a slight improvement in the local bass action. We had a few very nice stripers that were, unfortunately, much too big to keep. Also a few nice blues to bend the rods. Definitely not a slammer trip, but a positive sign for the rapidly approaching fall run.

Captain JR reports a pretty good afternoon of angling on the Viking Star. We didn’t have the super action packed experience of this morning, but we did have a nice pick of sea bass, porgies, and fluke to keep the rods bent. Definitely a better showing of quality fluke this afternoon though. Some very nice keepers were scooped up in our nets with a couple guys getting a nice limit of flatties. The pool winner went to Rodger from Smithtown, NY with a 3.6 lb Fluke!

Capt Dave reports excellent fishing today on the Viking Starship. With the tide running this morning we decided to start our day offshore towards the east. We got on a very nice first drifted that last over 2 hours with non-stop Porgy and SeaBass action, between medium and large size fish. Fishing conditions were great…

Captain JR reports a very fine morning onboard the Viking Star. We had lots of action with sea bass, porgies, fluke, and alligator blues keeping everyone very busy at the rail. We had a pretty good showing of keeper fluke to top off the buckets. Beautiful day to be out catching. The first prize pool…

Capt Dave reports a good trip on the Viking Starship. We started at the lighthouse and drifted for Porgies & Sea Bass, once conditions turned we made a move. There were mixed size Porgies and the action was better. To finish the day we moved closer to Block Island and we put in a few…

Another trifecta trip (humpback whales, minke whales, and Tamanend’s bottlenose dolphins!   On this somber day, in the back of our minds were the friends, schoolmates, neighbors, first responders, and the endless  work of volunteers clearing those hallowed grounds at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Shanksville PA. On this day, as a way of thinking about the inter-relatedness of all life on this planet, we went out to look for whales and dolphins. We found them, as we have done now on 110 consecutive trips since July 14, 2020.  A beautiful, flat calm trip with unlimited visibility made the long trip sell worth it. We found humpback whales that breached (briefly), chin-slapped, lob-tailed, flipper slapped, and logged (slept). We had triads and tetrads of humpback whales come over to watch us watching them.  For the most part, the…

Captain JR reports a tougher trip onboard the Viking Star. We put some serious miles under the keel as we cased some water way down to the south end of our string…. However, we only found a few yellow fin, we loaded up on Mahi during our journey down there. We bailed out of the…

Capt Dave reports a good day on the Viking Starship. We started out anchored east of the point and found large Porgies with Sea Bass mixed in. Once the tide ran hard we headed further east and had very good fishing, but smaller Porgies. Anglers were pulling in double and triple headers. We got a bit closer to Block Island and found a mixed bag of Sea Bass in all sizes, mostly nice size Porgies and a ton of Mackerel. The pool winner was Ian Ralph from the Bronx with a 2 lb Porgy.

Capt Steven Sr reports a decent day on the Viking Starlite. The Block Island Fluke are still elusive, but we did manage some keepers and a bunch of shorts. Sea Bass were abundant in all sizes. We will be sailing on Sunday for this trip. Look for additional trips to be added to the schedule…

Capt Dave reports an excellent trip on the Viking Starship. We started out east of the lighthouse and had our best fishing of the day first thing. There were mostly large Porgies with keeper Sea Bass in the mix. When the tide started running hard we moved under the lighthouse and had great action with mixed size Porgies. There were about 1/2 dozen keeper Fluke there also. We ran offshore looking for some more Sea Bass. There were a bunch of small ones to pick through along with nice size Porgies. The pool winner was Lloyd Stewart from Brooklyn, NY with a 2 1/2 lb Porgy.
