Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

Capt Dave reports the best fishing we have seen in awhile on the Viking Starship! It was a great day with size and action. There was a really good pick of all LARGE Porgies with mixed size Sea Bass to start. We fished one area all day getting in a few drifts, when the tide…

Capt Dave reports another pretty decent day of fishing today. We started off today just east of the lighthouse, kind of in the area we left off yesterday, we had some pretty good action here with mixed sizes of Porgies, a handful of keeper SeaBass, 3-4 keeper Fluke, and some little Blue fish. We eventually…

It was a beautiful, crisp day to search for whales and dolphins. Although we originally planned to head offshore, our plans were interrupted by a blow belonging to a juvenile humpback whale not far from shore beyond the lighthouse. While waiting for this individual to surface, two additional blows were spotted, and we were suddenly treated to a close approach by the first whale immediately ahead of our bow allowing great views by everyone near the front of the vessel. While we then planned to investigate the additional two whales (also humpbacks), a large splash drew us to a fourth humpback which was breaching and flipper slapping nearby. We spent time with this whale before seeing even more splashing from a fifth individual approximately a mile away. We headed towards the activity watching this single whale breach 19 consecutive times…

Sun Sept 8 – 1/2 Day Fishing PM Capt Carl reports a slower afternoon on our 1/2 day trip. The water got dirty, the wind came up, and the bite was tough. We still managed some Fluke, Sea Bass, and Porgies to keep for our anglers, but it was slower then the morning. There was no pool on the boat this afternoon.

Capt Dave reports another pretty good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. We started our morning off around the lighthouse and had a pretty tough go of it, with not much of a bite. We decide to do some searching and ended up to the east of the lighthouse and got onto a…

Captain Carl reports a great morning of fishing on the Viking Star! KEEPER Fluke, Big Sea Bass, and jumbo Porgies all made it into our anglers buckets, and there was action the whole trip. The first prize pool winner went to Alyssa Goldberg from Mamarneck, NY with a 4 lb Fluke. The second prize pool…

Capt Carl reports another delightful afternoon of fishing on the Viking Star! The Fluke bite was very good, with steady action all afternoon and quite a few FINE specimens making it into our anglers buckets around the boat, along with a few Black Sea Bass. The pool winner was Steven Mitrani from NY with a…

Capt Steven Sr reports a tough day on the Viking Starlite. Conditions were not great, but we did have luck with the Sea Bass and Porgies. There were only had a couple of keeper Fluke and some shorts. Due to the forecast for tomorrow we are cancelling the Fluke & Sea Bass trip, but there…

Capt Dave reports a pretty good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. We started our morning in one of our usual spots down the beach and didn’t have as much action as we’ve been seeing so we moved offshore after a short while. Once we got into that midway spot between Block Island…

Captain Carl reports a FINE morning of 1/2 Day fishing aboard the Viking Star! Despite the easterly ground swell and light NE wind, the fish were snapping! The Fluke bite was very good, with many KEEPER Fluke making it into the buckets mixed in with some Big Black Sea Bass and a smattering of Porgies!…

Capt Dave reports a much improved day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. We started off this morning just south of the lighthouse and had a good bite, but the rougher conditions made for difficult fishing. We had lots of actions with medium sized Porgies, but ended up making our move halfway to Block Island and got into some calmer water and got into some really good fishing. We anchored up here for a couple hours and the bite here was great with some larger sized Porgies and we even boated a 6 lb Fluke. After getting a nice pick of Porgies we worked farther offshore to target some SeaBass and once again had to pick our way through a lot of little stuff to get some keepers. We also saw some little Blue fish around here. The pool…

  Whales nearshore and offshore. Our incredible season continues!   What a day we had. The seas were flat, sun was bright, and the temperatures were comfortably cool. Our 1st humpback, named Chive, who we’d not seen in 2 years was breached within about 60 feet of our bow and was within 5 miles of…
