Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

Capt Carl reports a tough grind today on the Viking Starship. We had a light crowd and beautiful weather, and tried numerous drops, but it was pretty quiet. We saw many different species of fish, including Cod, Pollack, Sea Bass, Porgies, Whiting, Ling, bergalls, and others, but no good numbers of any of them. It made for a long day but thank you to those for staying at the rail and fishing hard. We want to Thank Everyone for fishing with us in 2018, and wish everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year! We will resume sailing every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday for our All Day COD trips and we will be departing the dock at 3AM. We hope to see you then!
