Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

Offshore Wreck Trip- Cod & SeaBass Capt Steven Sr reports “Mother Nature Wins!” Although we did manage some LG SeaBass, a couple of Cod, Ling and Cunners for those who could feel the bite. The fish were there, but the conditions were horrible. We had 6 to 8 footers with a 10 foot in there! This made it very difficult to feel a bite and land the fish. It was good until sunrise then the wind came on – 25 to 30 knots and never stopped. It was a rough day! The pool winner for both pools was Bill Moore from Rocky Point, NY with a 12.5 lb Cod & a 4.2 lb SeaBass

Block Island Jumbo Porgies & Knothead SeaBass Capt Dave reports another good day of fishing on the Viking Starship. We had tough conditions with the wind, but we pretty much had a repeat of yesterday with plenty of Porgies. and mixed size SeaBass with everybody catching a few big keepers, but having to pick thru the smalls. We also had about a dozen Cod. We didn’t have a pool today. Tomorrow will be the last day of the regular Block Island Porgy & SeaBass Trip. Beginning Friday we will be running one trip daily – Block Island Mixed Bag – departing at 5am and returning at 5pm. The fare will be $125. We will be fishing for all of the bottom dwellers – Cod, SeaBass, Porgies, Haddock, Ling and whatever else we can find out there!

Haddock/Cod/Scup – Viking Fivestar Capt Steven Jr reports that since our last trip out to the wrecks did not produce, we changed this trip up and went looking for Haddock. It started off slow but we were able to build up a decent pick for a while and put a nice shot of Haddock together. We also had big Scup and Cunners in the mix. High hook had 7 Haddock and most other guys had 3-5 each. At the end of the day we checked out a different area and found a few green Cod that looked to be moving into the area. We also found a couple more Haddock and some Whiting there. We have some spots open on trips coming up this week so give us a call at the office and get on while the weather is…

Block Island Jumbo Porgies & Knothead SeaBass Capt Dave reports decent fishing on the Viking Starship. We found the Porgies again just fine with plenty to go around. SeaBass was the same as it has been with everyone catching a couple of keepers with a bunch of shorts in the mix. There were about 13 Cod around the boat today. The pool winner Stratos Moustakas from Saint James, NY with a 3.2 lb Porgy.

Block Island Cod & SeaBass – Viking Fivestar Capt Steven Jr reports that with less then favorable conditions we managed to put a day together. We had to work for them, but we had a pick of Haddock and a load of big Scup and big Cunners with only a couple Seabass coming up. High hook had 6 haddock for the day.

Block Island Porgy & SeaBass – Viking Starship Capt Dave reports a slow pick for most of the day. We had a good mix, with mostly porgies. We caught a handful of keepers and almost everyone went home with a cod fish. Good late season fishing. The pool winner was Donald Hyde with a 4lb porgy from Bronx NY.

Sun Dec 9 Viking Fivestar – Haddocks Capt Steven Jr reports that we had Tommy Alexopoulos and the boys out today any they put a beating on the Haddock! We started offshore and didn’t find anything to work on so we headed inshore and the guys put around 100 haddock on the boat! When the bite slowed down we steamed back to Block Island and made a couple quick Tog drops and had a good handful of Blackfish to wrap up the day. We also had Scup and Ling in the mix and only a couple of Seabass and Cod. The weather is looking good all week and we have a few open spots.
