Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

Captain JR reports a slower afternoon onboard the Viking Star. We didn’t have to hot Fluke bite this afternoon, but we found a few beauties to put in the buckets. We also found some big Porgies, Sea Bass, and a few Weakfish to add to the haul. We had a great and fun time. Our…

Capt Dave reports a good day on the Viking Starship. The morning tide brought us excellent fishing. We got some beautiful Porgies with some Seabass mixed in. After a bit we decided to go a bit offshore where we had great fishing. Good Porgy and Seabass action, some Trigger fish, and tons of Mackerel. All…

Captain JR reports a very productive morning onboard the Viking Star. We had lots of hungry Fluke bending rods all trip. We scooped up a very respectable amount of keeper Fluke with a few big Porgies and Sea Bass to add to the catch. A wonderful morning to be out! Congratulations to our pool winners….

Capt Dave reports a good day on the Viking Starship. We headed towards Block Island and had a good shot of Porgies, Sea Bass and Triggerfish to start the trip. Once the tide started to run hard it got tough and the fish got smaller. Fishing was really good when conditions were right. No pool…

Capt JR reports a stellar trip onboard the mighty Viking Star. We had EXCELLENT Tuna CATCHING immediately upon reaching the grounds. Hungry Yellowfin Tuna were eager to bend every rod around the boat. Loads of fun as 95% of the fish were caught on jigs. Also, we definitely had more quality fish in the mix…

Our last scheduled trip was another success!! We headed out on the Viking Star looking forward to another fascinating trip on a day with unlimited visibility and brisk NW wind. The seas were fine as we headed westward towards where we’d been seeing juvenile humpback whales feeding on Atlantic Menhaden.  It wasn’t long before we were joined by 60 or more Tamanend’s bottlenose dolphins. We saw menhaden pods and we saw the blow of a humpback whale seen and photographed by our senior scientist, Dr. Artie Kopelman, 2 days earlier. This poor whale had deep healed gashes on the trailing edge of its right fluke, something we see too often. This whale was diving for about 3-5 minute, most likely feeding on the sand eels patchily distributed in and around the sea floor. 2 days prior, this young whale never …
