Captain Dave reports another fine day of fishing on the Viking Starship. Lots of action all day long. Drifts near the Montauk Lighthouse today culled loads of Porgies, but the Porgies were a little smaller than we’ve seen recently. Mostly mediums to large with only a few Jumbos. We sailed to the East again to load up on Sea Bass. We had to pick through a lot of shorts but everyone wound up with some quality Sea Bass keepers to take home. No keeper Fluke today or any exotics.
