Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

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.
