Capt Dave reports a fantastic day of fishing aboard the Viking Starship. For the first hour and a half we had lock and load large Porgies coming over the rail. Porgy fishing doesn’t get much better than we had today. When the tide started to run hard we tried for the SeaBass, but they were…

It just keeps getting better and better! 5 species of cetaceans and 6 species of pelagic girds on this trip Twenty minutes from the Lighthouse and about 4 miles away we found 80-100 inshore bottlenose dolphins chasing bait at the surface and diving to 75 feet for bait at the sea floor. We headed on our way and found our first whales about an hour later.  We saw 7 different humpback whales blow at the same time! WOW! It gets better – there were two mom/calf humpback pairs including Rune and her 2022 calf. No other humpback researchers knew that she had a calf until we found with her! We have yet to ID the 2nd mom.  The humpbacks were breaching, bubble feeding, open mouth feeding, flipper slapping! WOW! We also had at least 4 finback whales – 2 mom/calf…

Capt Dave reports a good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. The tide was running a bit fast this morning around the Lighthouse, so we made a few short drifts for Porgies and then worked our way East to search for Seabass. In the middle of the day we worked a few spots for SeaBass and had our limit with Bass up to 3 1/2 lbs. We worked our way back and did our last hour around the Lighthouse again where we crushed them in an hour and a half drift. Porgies were coming on the boat between large and jumbo sized, so we finished off our trip with a nice bang. The first place pool winner went to Ifa Winston, from the Bronx with 2.7 lb Porgy. We will be sailing tomorrow for the 5am- Montauk Lighthouse…
