Capt Dave reports good fishing on the Viking Starship today. We started out at the lighthouse on a tough Porgy drift with the tide running hard. We got out of there right away and headed offshore for SeaBass and we did pretty well. We had to pick through the small ones, but everyone got their keepers.

The pool winner was Isaiah Flores from Brooklyn, NY with a 3 1/2 lb Scup.
