Viking Fleet Fishing Reports

Capt Dave reports a great trip on the Viking Starship. We started out close to the island like yesterday, but the tide was screaming and caused a ton of tangles so we left there quickly and headed to deeper water. We got in three nice anchor drops. Everywhere we went the Porgies bit well and…

Capt JR reports another day of improvement on the Blackfish front. Had a steady pick of fish all morning with with a better keeper ratio. The Sea Bass fishing wasn’t lock and load today, but a good pick of solid knotheads. The afternoon brought another decent pick of blackfish with those who knew what they were doing definitely getting their limit. Everyday we are seeing a better and better catch of Togs with the fall weather finally triggering the bite. The winner of both pools was Pat Karmen from Oakdale, NY with a 7 lb Blackfish and a 2.8 lb Sea Bass.

Capt Carl reports another very very good night on the Squid Boat! We started catching them as soon as we anchored up. For the first half of the trip, it was good for some anglers, but not so good for others. The guys who were dialed in caught steadily. So, as the night progressed and…

Capt Dave reports an excellent day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. Fishing was red hot today, probably some of the best fishing we’ve had in a while. A whole new body of fish seemed to have moved in today, with non-stop action, biting at all tides. We hugged in close to the island…

Capt JR reports another solid day of sea bass fishing on the Viking Star. We tried some new areas and found lots of hungry XL Sea Bass waiting for us. There were also a few Cod in the mix to spice up the drops. Blackfishing today was definitely a huge improvement overall with lots of…

Capt Carl is happy to report the that the Squid Bite Beat Goes On! It was a beautiful warm moonlit night and a steady bite as well as soon as we anchored up. Some guys who were really dialed in caught them all night long while others caught during the flurries. Thankfully, we had plenty…

Capt Dave reports a pretty good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. Conditions were similar to yesterday so we started off our morning inshore and drifted with the tide with lots of bites. We milled our way through lots of little fish, mostly SeaBass, but had a nice little shot of decent sized…

Attention Viking Angers! A variety of trips for Everyone!! Blackfish Haven Trip Added! We have adjusted the Blackfish and Coxes Ledge trips on the Viking Star a bit for the fall schedule. There will now be two Coxes Ledge Cod & Sea Bass trips. Departures are Sunday and Tuesday at 5AM. The return is 4PM….

Capt Carl reports a good night of squid fishing for some squid-a-holics , and a tougher night for others. Once again, they started biting as soon as we anchored up and we picked away for the first half of the night with some good flurries of large tubes. The later part of the night, however, slowed down to a slow pick. We still read them good on the fish finder and saw them swimming all around the boat, but for whatever reason, they slowed down to bite. Some folks had plenty for a couple of dinners AND bags to put in the freezer, while some folks had enough for a couple of dinners. We will be back at it again tonight at 6:30PM, and Friday night as well. Saturday night is SOLD OUT. We do still have room Sunday night….

Capt Dave reports a good day on the Viking Starship. We started out by the island and had tons of Sea Bass with some very nice ones mixed in with the throwbacks. Offshore we loaded up on Porgies and found bigger Sea Bass up to 4 lbs. There were also a handful of Cod and Trigger fish. Sailing tomorrow at 5AM. The office opens at 4am for ticket sales. There is plenty of room so come on out!

Capt JR reports a good day on the Viking Star. It was good Sea Bass wise. We hit some productive Sea Bass drops early and found a nice supply of knot heads to start off the day. The Blackfish bite was definitely off a bit. We bounced around a few rock piles and found some…

Capt Carl reports another SOLID night of Squid fishing on the Viking Starlite. It was not quite as good as our last outing, but still just fine! As soon as we started fishing, we started catching! The bite got better and better and eventually turned into a crazy flurry of all big squid coming up all around the boat with many double headers! That lasted for a bit, then turned into a pick. The rest of the night saw the same pattern, where we would pick away, have a good action packed flurry, then turn into a pick again. All in all, it was good fishing! We are SOLD OUT for tonight (Wednesday night), but have space available Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday Night. The weather and conditions look awesome, so come and get them while they are here!
