Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

Capt. Phill reports a slower afternoon. We did have some cation with some nice keepers. The pool winner was Meggin Simmons from Eats Hampton, NY with a 3.75 lb Fluke.

Today we left Montauk with clearing skies and a cool breeze.  We traveled south and within an hour saw some splashes in front of us.  This turned out to be a group of dolphins.  These were the first bottlenose dolphins we have seen this year and they crossed right in front of our bow.  The group stayed very tightly together as they moved around the boat, sometimes “porposing” out of the water.  We stayed with them for some time before moving onward. After another 45 minutes we spotted our first whale; a large fin whale.  Fin whales are the second largest of the whales and second largest animal on the planet.  We watched it as it continually dove down (we assume to feed on the thick bands of small baitfish under the boat) and surfaced with that long conical blow…

Capt Dave reports very good fishing on the Viking Starship. We started out at the lighthouse where we mostly had large Porgies with a few jumbos mixed in and a handful of SeaBass. We then headed offshore and the first spot was loaded with smaller Seabass, so we moved on to another spot. It was much better there with a steady pick of SeaBass with some in the 4 to 5 lb range. We also had some Fluke, Porgies and Mackerel at that spot. The first place pool winner was Ramon Reynoso from Bronx, NY with a 3.1 lb Scup. The edible pool winner was Steven Thomas from Brooklyn, NY with a 4.7 lb SeaBass.

Capt Dave reports perfect conditions and a great day for Porgy fishing. We started off with a 2 hour drift and caught mostly large to jumbo Seabass. Once the tide started to get strong we went along the beach and found a really food Seabass spot. We then went offshore and got some more nice…
