Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

Captain Jerry reports an encouraging trip on the Viking Starship Saturday night. We had wonderful weather and the water temperature is dropping. A slow tide and a drift not quite fast enough was a challenge to our anglers. We kept to the legal waters and landed a number of shorts in the Striped Bass department to start. With persistence we did manage a nice keeper Striped Bass. Later in the evening our enthusiastic anglers lost quite a few hooks to some voracious Bluefish. Quality Knothead Sea Bass, chewing on live eels made up for the lack of striper action . Crew and Captain are starting to believe in the myth of the Striped Bass Unicorn. The hunt continues Friday October 11th, Saturday October 12th and a special Full Moon Striped Bass Fishing trip on Sunday October 13th. Dennis Chach of…

Capt Dave reports a good day of fishing on the Viking Starship. We tried close to the island to start, but the drift was to fast. We headed offshore and it started out as a slow pick of Porgies & SeaBass, but it got better as the day went on and everyone had their limits….

Capt Dave reports good fishing on the Viking Starship. We got close to the island in the calm water and had Big Scup and a lot of SeaBass. The pool winner was Howard Hawkins from Teaneck, NJ with a 2.7 lb Porgy. The trip is cancelled for tomorrow due to the gale force winds expected.

Capt Dave reports great fishing on the Viking Starship. We had an excellent drift first thing this morning close to the island.

Sun Sept 29 to Mon Sept 30 Capt Steven Jr reports another great trip offshore with 19 Yellowfin, 1 Albicore and a few Mahi caught. We started off on the troll and had a few smaller Tuna and one around 60 lbs. The night chunk bite started off slow but by 2am we started a pick that turned into a non stop bite until we pulled the anchor to go home. We had a couple smaller Yellows, but most were 60-80 lbs which sent the guys home with a pile of meat. Fishing is still really good if you can get a group of guys together for a charter now is the time! We have open dates for charters in October so give us a call for all trip info and bookings!

Captain Dave reports another day of good fishing off of Block Island on the Viking Starship.  We started the day inshore drifting until the wind and tide got too strong.  We had a slow but steady pick of Porgy and Sea Bass inshore.  Then we went offshore where we did 3 drops.  Every drop better…

Captain Jerry reports the fishing this afternoon on the Viking Star was not quite as good as on the AM trip, but still outstanding. We had a number of anglers that had never fished before and they got to go home with some fine fish. We sailed East of the Montauk Lighthouse and had some nice drifts with good sized Porgies and some big fat Sea Bass. The pool winner this afternoon was Robert Caffiero of Fresh Meadows NY with a 5.25 pound Sea Bass. Remove

Captain Jerry reports a fine day for fishing on the Viking Star. The weather was beautiful and the action was non stop.  Rods bending from first drop until it was time to head back.  Lots of big beautiful Sea Bass and plenty of large Porgies to be had by our anglers today.  No keeper Fluke today; the season ends tomorrow.  Everyone went home with plenty of fish to eat for dinner and enough to share with friends and family.  The pool winner was …………………………

Captain Jerry reports another evening of stalking the elusive Striped Bass on the Viking Star.  Tonight we did catch a over 30 large Bluefish and anglers did bring aboard a few short Striped Bass, but a lovely large Striped Bass got away within sight of the boat, but just out of reach of our longest gaff.  Hopefully the cooler temperatures this week will bring the Striped Bass closer to Montauk into legal waters.  We continue the hunt this Friday October 4th and Saturday October 5th 6PM to midnight. Hope you’ll join us and we can post a photo of you and a monster Striped Bass.

The edible pool winner was Santo Green from the Bronx, NY with a 5.4 lb SeaBass.
