The first place pool winner went to Derrick Buchana with a 3 lb Porgy from Teaneck, NJ. The edible pool winner went to Tung So from Brooklyn with a giant Cod fish.

Capt Dave reports a great day on the Viking Starship. We got a couple of drifts in at the lighthouse and the Porgy fishing was excellent!

Where again we found a lot of smaller fish with everyone getting a few keepers. The pool winner was Joey Falco from Queens, NY with a 2 1/2 lb Porgy.
