Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

Another great day with 3 species of cetaceans! We left the dock at 2PM, with a mild haze in the air, but good visibility and headed out to where we’d been seeing whales and had reports of their presence. Of course, on our way out we found a small pod of Tamanend’s bottlenose dolphins in…

Another incredible, unbelievable day at sea! Conditions yesterday could barely have been better; low 70s, a light breeze, and sunny skies. Visibility was at least 10-12 miles and hopes were high. The activity has been quite a bit offshore, so we settled in for a transit that ultimately took us 20 miles off Montauk. Sporadic…

Several groups came over…

However, we found some Fluke, Porgies, and Sea Bass to bend the rods but didn’t keep a whole lot. More favorable conditions are forecasted for this afternoon. The pool winner…
