Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

Capt Dave reports a much much better day of fishing than we saw yesterday! The weather was 100 percent nicer and so was fishing. We saw more fish coming over the rails and lots of bigger fish too. The seaweed was a little thick today but we fished through it and a lot of anglers had their Porgy limit. We also caught some nice Bluefish today. Lenor Nieves from NYC was the first place pool winner with a 3lb Porgy. Milciades Rodriquez won the edible pool with a 6lb Bluefish.

Capt Derek reports that we started off the morning down by the lighthouse and picked a couple of of shorts with some Seabass mixed in that were all released. We then made a move to deeper water a got a couple keeper Fluke. All in all for the morning there was a steady pick of short Fluke with nice Bluefish, short Striped Bass and and nice Seabass mixed in. The pool was settled with a tie between John Galgano of kings Park, NY and Brianna Ryan of Queens who each had a 4.5 lb Fluke.    

Capt Dave reports a slower than usual day on the Viking Starship. They were there but it was a tough bite possibly due to the full moon and the windy conditions. It did pick up towards the end of the trip and we put in some extra time to fill up the pails. The first place pool winner was Noel Miranda from NYC with a 2 1/2 lb Porgy. The second place pool winner was Warren Hodge from Manhattan with a 2 1/4 lb Porgy. We are sailing daily. Reservations are required. You can book online or call the office between 10am and 2pm.
