Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

Captain Dave reports another excellent day of fishing. We started with a solid drift in the morning, reeling up loads of nice-sized Porgies. Throughout the day we caught a handful of Fluke and Sea Bass. We ended the day anchored by the Lighthouse where we caught plenty of jumbo Porgies. Congratulations to our pool winners,…

Capt JR reports another pick of fish this afternoon on the Viking Star. SeaBass, Porgies, and a few Fluke made up the first 3/4 of the trip. There were lots of birds around so we spent the last hour jigging a few Striped Bass and Bluefish. A gorgeous afternoon to be out. The pool winner…

Capt Dave reports great day on the Viking Starlite. We fished around the lighthouse and everywhere we went the Porgies were biting. There were more mediums and larges than we have been seeing. We also had a handful of Sea Bass on the smaller side. All in all there was plenty of action and everyone…

Capt JR reports a slow pick this morning on the Viking Star. Sea bass, Porgies and Fluke made up most of the catch. Mostly smaller sized fish, but a few for the buckets. The pool winner was Peter Jadud from Woodcliff Lake, NJ with a 2.6 lb Sea Bass.

Capt JR reports a slower afternoon on the Viking Star. We tried to jig some Striped Bass and Blues as we did yesterday afternoon, but the fish didn’t cooperate. We shifted to bottom fishing and had a pick of Porgies, Sea Bass, and a couple Fluke. No pool today. Congratulations on the nice Porgy and…

We saw dolphins nearshore and were surrounded by whales offshore! What a day! 15 minutes after leaving Montauk Harbor and heading east we found our first cetaceans, a small group of 6-8 Tamanend’s bottlenose dolphins. It got better and better!  We find our 1st finback whale an hour later, just a few miles from shore. We had reports of whales offshore and we headed out. Offshore a few hours later we find a motherload of whales – finbacks, minkes , and humpbacks. We were officially surrounded by whales for the next few hours. Ultimately, we encountered approximately 10-12 finback whales,  3-5 minke whales, 2 humpback whales (one known from the coast of Virginia and one yet to be identified). The humpbacks were each bubble-ring/open mouth feeding on sand eels. The entire water column was filled with sand eels from the surface…

Captain JR reports a very nice afternoon on the Viking Star. We spent the trip drifting around the lighthouse and catching GIANT striped bass, blues, and a few porgies. A wonderful way to spend an afternoon.

Captain Steven Sr. reports a slower pick this afternoon, but everyone enjoyed a great day on the water aboard the Viking Star. Families celebrating Father’s Day were treated to beautiful weather, plenty of marine life, and even some whale sightings throughout the trip. A special shoutout to all the fathers out there. We hope you…

Capt. Dave reports an excellent day of fishing! Definitely one of the best trips of the season. We did very well on our first drop but decided to try out some new spots that our Capt. has yet to venture to and we were rewarded! We caught tons of fish everywhere we went. Large beautiful…

Captain Carl reports a beautiful morning on the 1/2 Day boat! Our anglers enjoyed catching Porgies, Sea Bass, and Fluke. We can’t wait to get back out for the afternoon trip! Congrats to our pool winner Juan Morales of Medford, NY, who caught a 2.8-pound Porgy.
