Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

Captain Dave reports a little more difficult day on the Viking Starship than we have had recently.  The turbulence on the sea floor near the Montauk Lighthouse has yet to settle since Dorian moved by on Friday.   We did go East and tried a good deep zone less affected.  Unfortunately, the Porgy bite seemed off and only a handful of keepers came back to the dock.  It was a banner day for Sea Bass though.  Everyone got their limit of keeper Sea Bass.  The pool winner was Alfred Manning of Brooklyn, N.Y. with a 2.6 pound Scup. Anglers mark your calendars!  We will begin Block Island Fall Jumbo Porgies and Knothead Sea Bass trips daily this Saturday September 14th.  We leave the Viking Fleet dock at 5 A.M. and return at 3 P.M. in the afternoon.  This is a…

Captain Dave reports a difficult start today on the the Viking Starship with a really good finish.  There was no bite at the Montauk Lighthouse to start the morning.  We had to go to deeper water to get the rods bending. The bite really picked up in 70-80 feet of water with mixed size Porgies, no Jumbos today, lots of Sea Bass, some Cod and some Green Bonitos. Everyone went home with some really nice keepers.  First place in the pool went to Noel Julio of Queens, NY with a 2.1 pound Scup.  Edible pool winner was Mark Palancia of Yorktown Heights, NY with a 4 pound Cod.  

Capt Dave G reports a slow morning of fishing aboard the Viking Star. We are expecting a better catch with diminishing winds and a favorable tide this afternoon. The pool winner was Betty Englis of New York City with a 3 pound Sea Bass.

Capt Steven Jr reports another excellent trip offshore over Labor Day weekend! We got our limit of Yellowfin from 30-80lbs, a decent mess of Golden and Grey Tilefish, with Pollock, Hake and Barrelfish mixed in, a handful of Mahi and a beauty Swordfish that weighed in at 220lbs! Day one we managed 7 nice Yellowfin on the troll and didn’t do any bottom fishing due to the unfavorable conditions. That night we picked a few Yellowfin early and then fought the Sword for a good while. As soon as he was on the deck the Yellowfin attacked! From 3am thru sun up we had non stop action on the bait and jigs with fish jumping all around the boat. Mid morning we got back on the troll and picked a couple small Yellows that we released. we then put in…

Capt Jerry was happy to report a great first trip offshore for the Viking Star! We had solid bottom fishing during the day with plenty of Golden Tiles and other deep bottom dwellers. We also picked up a couple of Yellowfin on the troll. The night bite saw some more Yellowfin with some taken by jig and some with bait. All in all we had 20 nice Yellowfin on the boat, threw a couple of small ones back, and lost a few due to break offs. It was a great trip and there is tons of life out there! We can’t wait to get back out there this coming Tuesday, Sept 10 for a 2 night Tuna trip! There are a few spots open, so be sure to book and get in on the good Tuna bite while they are…

At first it was a lot of Porgies and small SeaBass. It did pick up with some bigger SeaBass. Everyone had no problem bringing home their limits. The pool winner was Michael Laino with a 3 lb Porgy. The Porgy & SeaBass trip is CANCELLED for Friday and Saturday due to the tropical storm conditions expected.

Capt Dave reports good fishing aboard the Viking Starship. It was slower than the last few days, but we had a steady pick of mostly big Porgies at the lighthouse early this morning. Then we anchored about half way to the SeaBass spot and the Porgy fishing was Red Hot! This lasted for about a half hour with some SeaBass mixed in. After that we headed to the SeaBass spot where it started out slow with mostly Porgies, but the SeaBass started to bite after awhile and we had them up to 5 lbs. There was no pool today.
