Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

Captain JR reports a tough afternoon on the Viking Star. The weather made a rapid turn for the worse and created very unfavorable conditions. We did manage to pick some porgies and fluke, but it was not an exciting afternoon. Ronnie Alma from Montauk, NY took the pool this afternoon with a 3 lb Fluke. Tomorrow’s half day fishing is cancelled for both the 8am and 1pm trip due to weather.

Capt Dave reports a good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship fishing up close to the island. This mornings bite started off absolutely excellent with the first drift being a slammer, having double-header Porgies and SeaBass fish coming over the rails all over the boat. We had a lot of size on the…

Captain JR reports an excellent morning of catching onboard the Viking Star. LOADS of action with sea bass and giant porgies keeping rods bent all trip. We also found some nice KEEPER fluke in the mix. Definitely a great morning of harvesting the fall bounty. The pool winner this morning went to Noah Ramirez from…

Capt Dave reports a tougher day than we have been seeing on the Viking Starship. We had mixed size Porgies with Sea Bass mixed in. There were limits of keeper Sea Bass with no problem. Anglers  also caught a couple of keeper Cod, Pollock and Fluke with Mackerel everywhere. So all in all in was…

Capt JR reports a fine day of fishing onboard the Viking Starship. The weather was finally gorgeous and the fish were biting. We found good Sea Bass and Porgy life on all of our stops today. Some drops had more Sea Bass, others more Porgies. By the end of the day everyone was in great shape with plenty of Sea Bass and Scup to take home. Unfortunately we are cancelled for the trip tomorrow. We will be sailing again on Friday.

Capt Dave reports good fishing on the Viking Starship. It was a very slow start inshore today, so we headed out to the deeper water. We fished in 85 feet of water and the Big Porgies bit very well, then we had to go further to find the Sea Bass. They were mixed size and there were a lot of Mackerel to get through. The first place pool winner was Gim Yee from Queens, NY with a 3 lb Porgy. The edible pool winner was Jose Rodriguez from the Bronx with a 4 lb Sea Bass. We are sailing tomorrow at 5AM. The office opens at 4am for ticket sales.

Capt Dave reports a tougher day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. Despite today being one of the better day condition wise, than the past few days, fishing was tough in the dirty water that was stirred up from the ground swell. We started off a bit closer to the island and had a…

Capt Dave reports a pretty good day of fishing today in Block Island on the Viking Starship. This morning we started off anchored close to the island and had very good fishing with some very nice sized Porgies with a few SeaBass in the mix. We didn’t see many small fish today, mostly everything that…

Capt Dave reports a halfway decent day of fishing today in Block Island on the Viking Starship. Despite poor weather conditions with high winds we still got some nice fish today. This morning was the best pick of fish we had. At first drop we had pretty decent action with some nicer Porgies and a few nice SeaBass. After that conditions got pretty difficult so we had to work our way around and try some different spots out of the wind and pretty much just had a slow pick the rest of the day. The pool winner went to Alonso Morales from Levitown, NY with a 2.8 lb Porgy. The edible pool winner went to Frank Schwab from Rockaway, NY with a 3.7 lb SeaBass. We will be sailing again tomorrow at 5am to Block Island for our 5am Porgies…

Capt Dave reports a half-way decent day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. We struggled a little bit with the weather today, not being able to fish in most of the spots we wanted to, but we did still get into some calmer areas that had good action. We saw some nice sized Porgies today with a few decent SeaBass mixed in. There were a lot of little SeaBass to pick through, definitely more throwbacks than keepers, but we did find a good pick, along with a couple Blue fish on the boat. The pool winner today went to Edward Brown from the Bronx with a 2 1/2 lb Porgy. The edible pool winner today went to Marvin the Great from the Bronx as well with a 6 lb Blue fish. We are most definitely sailing tomorrow at 5am…

Captain JR reports a successful TNT trip on the Viking Star. Despite the approaching weather we were able to squeeze in two days and a night out at the eastern canyons. The tile fishing wasn’t as hot and heavy as our last trip, but still had a decent pick of tiles and other assorted bottom…

Capt Dave reports good fishing on the Viking Starship. We began the trip up close to Block Island and had a good mixed bag of quality Porgies and mixed size Sea Bass. When the tide stopped running hard we headed to the west side of the island and it was a bail job of really nice stuff! We got in about an hour and a half of fishing there then headed back to Montauk. There was no pool today. The biggest Porgy was 3 lbs, biggest Sea Bass was 4lbs and we had a 5 lb Fluke. Unfortunately we will be taking off tomorrow due to the expected bad weather.
