Capt Steven Jr reports that we had another great trip on the Viking Fivestar. We had 17 Yellowfin, 2 Albacore, 4 Big Eyes, a few Mahi and a niceSword! The night fishing has been improving the last few trips with quite a few Sword bites every night. On our way back out here now hoping to do it all over again. #vikingfleet #furunoelectronics #tunafishing #yellowfintuna #swordfish #mytimezero #bigeyes

Capt. Dave reports a good day onboard the Viking Starship. We started the day off fishing over by the SeaBass grounds, where everyone was able to catch their limit of SeaBass; some were even able to catch a couple of keeper Fluke. Out by the lighthouse, we caught a majority of large sized Porgies. Today’s pool winner went to Ian Harrison from Bronx, NY with a 3lb Porgy.

Only fainting glimpses today. Nice weather, favorable seas and 10+ miles of visibility, while traveling over 44 miles only yielding a few of us a brief view of a cetacean. We had an unidentified whale blow spotted by one of our CRESLI volunteers a mile or so behind us. We searched long and hard but never saw the whale come up again. A while later, a dolphin was spotted by a few members of the crew only to swim away and not seen again. We also had an unknown shark species swim by close to the boat, giving people on that side a quick view before disappearing. We do not get many trips like this with great conditions and little to no sightings. Our track record says we will have better days in the future. 1 unidentified whale species blow…

Capt. Dave reports a decent day on the Viking Starship. The fishing conditions weren’t ideal due to a ground swell in our area. It was a slow pick out by the lighthouse, we caught a variety of sized Porgies. We then ventured out east for one drift, and caught a nice mix of SeaBass. Despite the conditions, everyone went home with their limit of nicer sized SeaBass. Today’s place pool winners were Sherron Smith from New Jersey with a 2.1lb Porgy, and Danny Yuen from New York with a 3.6lb SeaBass.
