Montauk Spring Jumbo Porgies Capt Dave reports a good day of fishing. We took the ride and had a good steady pick that lasted most of the day. When it slowed down a bit we made a move and it was a tougher bite. We had a really mixed size of fish from the biggest kind to just keepers. Everyone had their limit! We threw back some sea bass that were caught and we had a couple of weakfish. Luis Duran from Queens and Jose Parache tied for the pool with  3.3 lb Porgies.

Montauk Spring Jumbo Porgies Capt Dave reports a slow pick of Porgies on the Viking Stariper today. We waited it out and they eventually started to bite. Most anglers caught their limit. The pool winner was Caleb Darby from Myrtle Beach, SC with a 3 lb Porgy.

Montauk Spring Jumbo Porgies-Viking Stariper Capt Dave reports a good day on the Viking Stariper. It was picker today than yesterday, but those that put in the work got their limit of fish.

Montauk Spring Jumbo Porgies-Viking Stariper Capt Dave reports plenty of big porgies today on the Viking Stariper. It was slow close to home, so we took the ride in the fog and found a spot that produced a good catch. The sea robins were a bit of a nuisance, but once you got past them…

Montauk Spring Jumbo Porgies – Viking Stariper Capt Dave reports a good morning bite close to home. The steady pick of good size fish lasted a few hours. After it slowed down we moved around searching for more, but did not produce as much as the morning. We are sailing daily at 4am. Come on down and get in on the action!

The weathers looking nice out here in Montauk…and the fishing is just as good. The reports from our first trip were better than we predicted, and it’s been increasing every trip! We are looking at some good sized fish coming over the rails, and the satisfactory smiles being put on customers faces is the best reward. To book the trip you can call the office, or walk up to the window the morning of! SEE YOU TOMORROW

Today, Saturday May 5th, Captain Dave took out the Viking Star on an early morning porgy trip. He reports that first they tried the close spot without much success, and after which they took a ride into the bay. This new spot produced a slow, steady pick of mostly nice sized porgies, but not quite as fast and furious as yesterday. But for the fishermen that could figure out the light bite, did manage a very good catch. 🐟   Split Pool Winners: Looks like we have tie! Frankie Marin, from Brooklyn, New York, and Ray McKenzie, also from Brooklyn, New York each caught a 3lb porgy.   The season is just beginning, the weather is good, and the fishing is quickly getting better. We will be sailing DAILY @ 4am, our office opens at 3am for ticket sales or…
