Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

Capt. JR reports heavy seas leftover from last night and today’s storms that kept us away from our usual hunting grounds. However, we fished some lesser known spots right in our backyard and put a good catch of Seabass, Porgies, and a few keeper Fluke on the boat. The pool winner was Connor Bubolo aka…

Capt. JR reports nice trip this afternoon despite the not so nice weather. It was on the slower side this afternoon once the weather took a nasty turn but, we managed to stay and get a nice catch. The pool winner was John from Massepequa, NY, with a 3 lb Seabass.

Whales in the rain! We headed out with excellent visibility and just a light misty rain, hoping that the rain would stay to our south. Oh well, we were wrong, although when the wind was behind us, the rain was quite tolerable.  We weren’t really fazed by the rain and continued to search for whales.  After about an hour,  a minke whale did a full-body breach just 200 yds from then port bow.  It was an amazing, yet fleeting sight that only a handful of us saw. An hour later we saw the tell-tall splash of a breach and headed to find a humpback lunge feeding and taking high-fluking dives. These were great sights that made the rainy trip worthwhile. The humpback was one we’d seen in this area 2 weeks earlier. 1 Minke whale 1 Humpback whale 1 Ocean…

Capt. Dave reports an excellent day onboard the Viking Starship. We started today at the lighthouse, catching a mix of medium and large Porgies.

Capt Steven Jr reports that they haven’t been on land much to get reports up every trip. Fishing has been solid. Tile fishing has been great and we have continued to pick away at the Yellow fin and Big Eyes. On our last trip we had a handful of Yellows, a pair of 120-130lb Swords…

Capt Dave reports another excellent day of fishing with great conditions on the Viking Starship. We started out at the lighthouse and had mixed size Porgies and plenty of them.

Larry Fitzpatrick from Medford, NY won both pools with a 3 lb Porgy and a 4.2 lb SeaBass.

Capt Dave reports a good day on the Viking Starship. There were nice conditions at the lighthouse while drifting for Porgies. When the wind picked up we headed down the beach and anchored where we found Large & Jumbo Porgies and a handful of SeaBass. After that we went offshore to the SeaBass grounds and had to pick through the little ones, but everyone got their limit. We also found a lot of Mackerel there. The pool winner was Holger Camacho from East Hampton, NY with a 3 lb Porgy.

Capt JR reports that despite some windy conditions we had a good trip this morning on the Viking Star. We drifted some local rock piles for some nice Sea Bass, Porgies, and a few very nice Fluke. The pool winner was Diane Miller from Easton, PA with a 4 lb Fluke.
