Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

Capt Steven Jr. reports an excellent start to the offshore season on the 2 Day Deep Water Exploratory trip. We had some challenging drift conditions and some great conditions at times, but the fishing stayed consistent. We were able to fish some traditional grounds that produced great as we hoped and explore some new areas…

Capt Carl reports a slower afternoon on our half-day trip. We marked fish and bait, but couldn’t quite get them to school up the way we wanted. A few fish made it to the deck and bent the rods, but overall it wasn’t the action we were hoping for—and no pool winner today. We’ll be back at it next weekend! Saturday & Sunday 8am–Noon and 1pm–5pm. Fluke will be open, and we hope to see you on the water!    

Great news from Capt. Dave aboard the Viking Starlite — a big improvement from yesterday with consistent action all day long! There were porgies in the 2 to 2.5 lb range, along with a some Sea Robbins and Butterfish. There were even some exciting double headers to keep things interesting. Pool Winner was Elias Chavez…

Capt Dave reports a slight improvement from yesterday on the Viking Starlite. There were a few Porgies caught in the 2 lb range along with some smaller fish. All Porgies again today.

Capt Joe reports a very slow night on the Squid grounds. The water temps were still low, but we did see a couple squid. It will only improve from here! We are going to wait another week to get off the Full Moon and let the water temps warm up a bit. We will try…

Capt Dave reports a slow start to the Porgy season. We had our first trip on the Viking Starlite and unfortunately with the full moon tide running we didn’t have many fish. There was one double header Porgy caught. The biggest fish was 2 lbs. We are looking forward for fishing to pick up to…

Capt JR reports a bit of a grind onboard the Viking Star today. Some spots still had some mixed size Sea Bass, lots of Cunners, and a few Blackfish, some Mackerel and Pollock. But, action was definitely a little off. Not a terrible day as everyone definitely got enough for dinner. Trips are cancelled for Friday and Saturday due to the windy conditions expected.

Capt JR reports another nice day onboard the Viking Star. We had mixed sized Sea Bass all day, LOADS of Cunners of all sizes, a couple Pollock, and some very nice Blackfish. Those who stuck to the Blackfishing all day had a very productive trip. Everyone who stuck with the crabs had a very nice…
