Sun July 2 – Montauk Lighthouse Jumbo Porgies & Sea Bass
Capt Dave reports an off day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. The full moon flood tide was running hard today and made for more difficult fishing. When the conditions righted themselves we found ourselves in a nice pile of large Porgies. The SeaBass seemed to be on the smaller size today, with not as many keepers as throws. We also had a handful of Blue fish on the boat today and released a 40 lb Striped Bass as it was over slot limit. The pool winner went unnamed today, but won the pool with a 3.1 lb Porgy. We are definitely sailing again tomorrow (Monday, July 3rd) on our 5 am Montauk Lighthouse Porgies & SeaBass.

Capt Mike reports a tougher morning fishing on the Viking Star. Fishing was slower than it’s been lately, still managed to find some keeper SeaBass and Fluke, but had to pick our way through a lot of short stuff. We did however find some nice Porgies. Overall, it was a slow morning. The pool winner for this mornings trip was Jim Koches from South Carolina with a 3 1/2 lb Fluke.

Thurs June 29 – Montauk Lighthouse Jumbo Porgies & Knothead Sea Bass
Capt Dave reports a great day on the Viking Starship. Porgy fishing was excellent. We mostly had large and jumbos and there were plenty of them. We tried out a bunch of spots for Sea Bass only finding a handful of keepers. There have been tons of smaller fish, but plenty of them. Porgies have been mixed in at the Sea Bass grounds. The body of bigger Sea Bass should move in any day. We also had a couple of Bluefish.
