Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

Capt Chris reports that we went a little further out this morning to get away from the strong current on the Viking Star. We caught SEABASS…SEABASS…SEABASS and more Sea Bass, It was fantastic. We ended the day with healthy pales of Sea Bass, Scup, and also a few Fluke mixed in. Fun was had by all, and there will be plenty on the table tonight. The pool winner was Robert Swicord with a 4lb Fluke. The edible pool winner was Zac Swicord with a 3,5 lb Sea Bass.

Capt Chris reports a slower afternoon on the Viking Star.  We had a strong wind and tide working in tandem providing a very quick drift. There were plenty of fish on the recorder, but the Porgies were being a bit fickle. Buckets weren’t full, but the quality of the SeaBass was spot on. We had several keeper Fluke as well. The pool winner was Jim Leonard from London, England with a 2.5 lb Fluke.

Capt Dave reports excellent fishing again on the Viking Starship. The trip started at the lighthouse and we quickly had plenty of Porgies. From there we headed off towards Block Island and found Big SeaBass. There were a bunch of small SeaBass in the area, but there were 3 to 4 pounders mixed in. We also had some nice size Porgies in the mix. The pool winner was Alberto Rivera with a 3.4 lb Porgy.

Capt Chris reports crazy good fishing on the Viking Star. This morning we had Porgies and SeaBass topping the buckets off chock full. We also had several Fluke and a lone Striped Bass rounding out the catch. The pool fish was caught by Jennifer Smith from Lindenhurst, NY with a 5.5 lb Fluke.

Capt Derek reports excellent fishing on the Viking Fivestar this morning. We started out Porgy fishing which was lights out. We caught our limit of scup in just a few hours, so we spent the rest of the trip trying to get a couple of SeaBass. Seabassing was a little picky, but we managed a few. Overall a great trip with more then enough nice size Porgies.

Capt JR reports a good afternoon on the Viking Star. We had a good pick of porgies with some nice sea bass mixed in. There were also some Fluke coming up, but not very large. Everyone had a nice bag of meat to go home with.

Sat July 25 – Whale Watching 3 Humpback Whales, 1 Minke Whale and more Our 2nd trip of the 2020 season didn’t let us down. We had reports of whales from several places and began our trip with a great plan. With excellent visibility and conditions, we found our first whale within 40 minutes from passing Montauk Light, a humpback. This whale was busy searching for food 100′ down and would rise to the surface after a few minutes, blow 5-6 times and dive. We stayed with the whale until it tail slapped and we decided to head further. We headed ENE towards and found our 2nd whale about 1 hour later.  We’d seen it from ~1.5 miles away and when we got near the area,  it popped up just under our bowsprit. Luckily we were almost at idle speed….

Capt Dave reports Fantastic fishing again on the Viking Starship. Porgy fishing at the Lighthouse early was very good. We then took the ride for SeaBass and found the biggest kind. It was one drift with a nice pick of Large & Jumbo quality SeaBass. The first place pool winner was Denis from Brooklyn, NY with a 3.2 lb Porgy. The edible pool winner was Nikki Noel from Brookly, NY with a 4.8 lb JUMBO SeaBass.

Capt JR reports that we had a good pick of Porgies and Sea Bass all morning on the Viking Star. A few of the Sea Bass were of the larger variety this morning. We also had a few keeper size Fluke in the mix as well. The pool winner was TJ Pool from Patchogue with a 5.25 lb Fluke.

Capt JR reports amazing fishing on the Viking Star. Jumbo dinner plate Porgies were flying over the rail as fast as you could catch them. All you wanted. We also had some Sea bass and Fluke mixed in.

  Capt JR reports tons of action on the Viking Star . Everyone ended up with bags of meat. A lot of Porgies and some larger Sea Bass. There was also a big increase in the Fluke action. First place in today’s pool went to Mike of Montauk, NY with a monster 6.5 pound Sea Bass.

Capt Dave reports an excellent day on the Viking Starship. Porgy fishing was as good as it gets. We started fishing near the lighthouse and the Porgies were jumping on. Double headers every drop and anglers lines didn’t even get halfway to the bottom. We then headed east where we have been picking up some quality Sea Bass the last few days. The Sea Bass were still there but now some large and Jumbo Porgies were mixed in. All in all a great trip. The first place pool winner was Rafael Nieles with a 2.8 pound Porgy. The edible pool went to Jose Mendoza with a 4.4 pound Sea Bass.
