Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

Capt. Steven Sr. reports a great and active fishing this morning. People were able to catch many Fluke, Seabass, and Porgies with  a mix of sizes. Everyone went home happy with their buckets full for their dinner tonight. Congratulations to our pool winner Archie Yemula from Basking Ridge, NJ with a 6 lb Fluke.

Captain Mike Ricker reports an afternoon full of action! We had plenty of nice-sized keeper Sea Bass and Porgies in our buckets. We also had some fun Fluke action. It was a beautiful afternoon on the water. Congratulations to our pool winner, Steven Truncale, who caught a 4 lb Fluke.

Capt Dave reports very good fishing on the Viking Starship. We drilled out the Porgies at the lighthouse today with the large crowd. We also had a couple of Sea Bass, Fluke and Bluefish in the catch. The winner of both pools was Tyron Alridge from Brooklyn, NY with a 4 lb Porgy and a 5 lb Bluefish.

Capt Mike reports a great trip on the Viking Star this morning. Anglers were bending rods the entire trip.  Sea Bass and  Porgies were steady thru out the trip. We had short Fluke biting with only a few keepers, but plenty of Porgies and Sea Bass in the buckets. It was a beautiful morning on…

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…

Captain Mike Ricker reports a nice trip on the Viking Starlite. We had a steady picking all afternoon and rods bending until the end.  People could catch nice jumbo Porgies and Sea Bass. We had a very nice afternoon on the water. Congratulations to our pool winner, Robert Cole from Niskayuna, NY with a 3 lb Fluke.

Capt Dave reports fantastic fishing on the Viking Starship. We had a one anchor drop at the lighthouse with excellent Porgy fishing. There were a lot of Sea Bass to the east, but fishing remains the same with only a handful of keepers with plenty of Porgies mixed in. The first place pool winner was…

Captain Mike Ricker reports a great trip this morning. We started off bending rods from the get go. People were able to catch nice Sea Bass and Porgy bite with keepers of each in the buckets. We had a lot of short Sea Bass and Fluke to throw back thru out the remainder of the…

A spectacular afternoon with an interesting and well-known humpback whale and loads of dolphins! On a brutally warm and muggy day on land, we were all ready for a cooler day at sea. We headed towards the area where we’d been seeing dense patches of prey, birds, and cetaceans for the past week. The prey,…

Captain JR reports an AMAZING day on the Viking Starlite. We had great action for the entire trip capturing all the species local Montauk waters have to offer. The Fluke made a great showing with several guys having an easy limit of beauties. The Sea Bass were basically everywhere we went and no one had…

Captain Dave reports an action packed day of fishing. We started down by the Lighthouse where the conditions were absolutely PERFECT. There, we had excellent Porgy fishing, and we also managed to catch some nice Flukes and Bluefish. Later, we headed offshore where we caught plenty of mix-sized Sea Bass. Congratulations to our pool winner, James Koeppel from Lindenhurst, NY, who caught a 3.3 lb Porgy.
