The pool winner was Jose Veliz from Brooklyn, NY with a 3 lb Porgy. We are definitely sailing tomorrow, so come on down. The office opens at 4AM for ticket sales.

Capt Dave reports a very good day of Porgy fishing today on the Viking Starlite. The conditions today in the rain more for a more difficult trip but the fishing was still very good. The SeaBass bite was off today, with a lot smaller fish than we’ve been seeing, but we had plenty of large and jumbo sized Porgies as well as a load of Trigger Fish. There was no pool today on the boat. We will be sailing tomorrow on the 5 am Porgy and SeaBass trip tomorrow (Tuesday August 23rd).

Capt JR reports a pretty good morning of fishing today on the Viking Star. Conditions made for a more difficult day of fishing fighting the rain and wind but we managed to get a decent trip out of it. Plenty of Porgies and SeaBass, everyone went home with fish. Not a bad catch on a wet day. There was no pool today. Our 1pm 1/2 day fishing trip is cancelled due to the weather.

Another Sunday on the sea with whales!! Sunday was a calm day with little wind and small waves and gray skies.  We headed out to where we’d seen whales on our last trips and found the whales again about a few nautical miles further west. On the way we encountered a shark (undetermined species) and a loggerhead sea turtle.  We found humpbacks and fin whales.  While we stayed with the 12 or so humpbacks as they open-mouth and cooperatively kick fed on sand eels, we were never able to spend time near the fin whales (maybe next trip?).  These were adult humpbacks, some with calves, and some of the same whales humpback we’ve seen over the past month were there, as were new ones.  We passed by 2 juvenile humpbacks feeding on bunker on the way in, not far from…
