Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

Capt Steven Jr reports an excellent day even with the rough conditions early in the morning. We started inshore to hide from the breeze and by mid day we had our limit of Blackfish with a few nice ones in the 8 lb range. From there we went off SeaBassing and had steady action and managed limits for everyone before we called it a day.

Capt Steven Jr reports another great day of fishing the wrecks with plenty of big SeaBass all around on the Viking Fivestar! The first couple of drops were a pick of big SeaBass, but the last drop made the day with lots of double headers! Only a couple of Cod today but Mark found a nice one at the end of the day. We are looking to add a couple wreck trips in December so keep an eye on the website for schedule updates in December. vikingfleet.com (631)668-5700

Captain Dave reports another excellent day of fishing on the the Viking Starship. Anglers brought tons of Porgies and Sea Bass over the rail, everyone limiting out.  Anglers also caught some Bluefish and some nice Cod.  Danny Ko of Long Island City NY won the pool with a 2.8 pound Scup, a lot of tight competition in this category, with plenty of large Porgies.  Kevin Huang won the edible pool with a 16 pound Cod.  Nice work gentlemen.  The weather is supposed to be even nicer tomorrow high around 55 degrees with light winds.  Plenty of time to get in a good fishing trip before the holiday.  We sail at 5:00 AM.  Hope to see you on board.
