Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

Captain Mike Ricker reports a great afternoon of fishing. After a few drifts, we had plenty of rods bending, which stayed steady for the rest of the trip.  We had some nice knot-head Sea Bass and Porgies. We also had several keeper Flukes in the buckets. It was a nice afternoon on the water! Congrats…

Another challenging yet successful trip with whales and dolphins. We headed out again to ostensibly cool off while looking for marine mammals. The relatively cooler water helped to curtain some of the brutal conditions and made things more comfortable than on land.  We had multiple reports of whales to the south and decided to head that way. As we traveled, we found a few pelagic birds and the numbers increased moderately, Cory’s shearwaters, then great shearwaters, and Wilson’s storm petrels. Eventually, we saw a humpback whale dive tdovetabout 350 yards ahead of us. This was a large individual, but the prey was in the upper 1/3 of the water column so the whale undertook a shallow, non-fiuking dive. We waited for the whale to resurface, but in the haze we must have missed it and after 15 minutes headed on….

Capt. Dave reports and excellent morning of Porgy fishing today. We got a few handfuls of keeper Porgies and decided to head offshore for some Seabass towards the end of the trip. We had to pick through a good amount of shorts, but we ended up getting some keepers, and the Seabass bite today was…
