Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

Capt. Steven Sr. reports a very successful afternoon of fishing today. We had a great trip catching some jumbo Seabass and a good few keeper Flukes. We hit a spot that had tons of Fluke, but a lot were shorts that had to be thrown back. Everyone ended the day with a nice bag of…

Captain JR reports that the day had a rough start with some inconvenient weather conditions. However, we stuck with it and the weather cleared greatly improving the catch.

It was a beautiful day on the water yesterday with a refreshing breeze and cooler temperatures than those experienced earlier in the week. The whales were around and we found our first – a humpback about seven miles off Montauk. This whale was spending long intervals beneath the surface and popping up only briefly 200-300 yards away, making for a difficult encounter. We decided to continue in hopes of finding another individual, which we did, just ahead of the first. This whale, however, was also exhibiting long dive times and surfacing far away from the vessel and after photographic investigation post-trip, turned out to be the same individual as previously encountered. With little bait detected in the area, it is likely this whale was traveling (and quickly at that) in search of food. While quite natural an observation, we realize…
