Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

Capt. Dave reports a very good morning for Porgy fishing before the weather turned on us. When it got nasty out we decided to go down the beach where we had a nice pick of medium to large Porgies. We had some extra time so we decided to go offshore for some Seabass. It was rough rough out there but we prevailed and ended the trip with a nice catch. The pool winner was Oneal Harris from Bronx, NY, with a 2.5 lb Porgy. The edible pool winner was Rohon Fullwood from Bronx, NY, with a 3.5 lb Seabass.  

Beautiful day to be out on the water today, calm seas of 1 – 2 feet, unlimited visibility and water temperature between 70 – 72 degrees Fahrenheit.  While traveling west along the coast of Montauk we came upon a large school of bunker (Menhaden).  Hoping to find some cetaceans looking for a nice meal but not luck.  Traveling away from the coast, we found an ocean sunfish (Mola mola) which swam directly next to the boat giving everyone onboard a great view.  Traveling further away from shore a Minke whale gave us three quick views before disappearing out of sight.  During out travels we spotted 9 Wilson Storm Petrels and 2 Cory’s Shearwaters.
