Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

Captain JR reports a decent afternoon onboard the Viking Star. We started out with lots of action catching sea bass, porgies, and fluke.

Captain JR reports a very nice morning on the Viking Star. We found lots of action with Porgies, Seabass, and Fluke. The big Seabass were very hungry this morning along with some gorgeous KEEPER Fluke scooped up in our nets. Also, we had a few Cocktail Blues and Trigger fish to top off the morning….

A 5-species cetacean day! On our travels offshore to find the humpbacks we encountered on Wednesday’s trip, we discovered numerous small pods of Tamanend’s bottlenose dolphins which could be seen swimming through the swells and waves around our vessel about 3 miles from the lighthouse. The dolphins were not at all bothered by our presence,…

Captain Carl reports another beautiful afternoon out on the water. Fishing was tougher than in the morning, with a raging tide plus wind together making for very fast and tricky conditions. We still managed our usual suspects of Porgies, Sea Bass, and a couple Keeper Flukes. The pool winner was Nicole Szendy with a 4.5…

Jaw-dropping bubble-feeding events all around the Viking Starship Having gotten to bed late last night from one of the most mind-blowing whale watches in my lifetime, I figured I would wake up to find that it was all a dream, but alas, it was not! The humpbacks continue to occur in large numbers offshore of…
