1/2 Day Fishing – AM Capt Dave G reports a very slow morning on the Viking Star. No pool to report.

Block Island Jumbo Porgies & Knothead SeaBass Capt Dave reports a good day on the Viking Starship. We did have a more difficult day due to the wind and not being able to drift, so we made a couple of different anchor drops where we had mixed size Porgies and Sea Bass. We dinn’t see the amount of Sea Bass we have been due to the lack of drift. We also had 1 Cod and Bluefish. There was a tie for first place betweenDennis Sparos from Elizabeth, NJ and Marcel Palmer from Yonkers, NY with  4 lb Porgies. The edible pool winner was Winston Vincent from the Bronx with a a 9lb Bluefish.

Block Island Jumbo Porgies and Knothead Sea Bass- Captain Dave reports that today’s trip started off with some good action however the Porgies were on the smaller side. We moved on to a new spot and had excellent fishing with limits being caught by most. Today’s catch included by far the biggest Sea Bass we have seen yet this year with Sea bass as big as 7lbs coming over the rails. It does not get much better than today on the water with perfect weather and fantastic fishing.  First place in today’s pool goes to Edward Pimental from the Bronx NY with a 3.11lb Porgy and second place was won by Jerry Acosda with a 6.2 lb Sea Bass.
