Captain Dave reports a better day of porgy fishing today aboard the Viking Starship. We tried something new and it seemed to have worked! We found some really nice sized porgies, as well as some trigger fish, and bunch of nice cocktail blues and a handful of fluke. It was really a pleasant day of fishing. Today’s pool winner was Paul Timoney of the Bronx, NY with a JUMBO 4.7lb porgy!

Today’s first place pool winner was Wieliki Rycharw of NY with a 3.5lb porgy and in second place was Spiro Boukas of Manhasset with a 5lb fluke.

Captain Dave reports another tricky day of fishing on the local porgy grounds today.  Again, the best bite was in the strong tide, where we found some really nice porgies along with a bunch of fluke- we had about 10 keeper fluke. Today’s pool winner was Danny Ko of Brooklyn, NY with a 4lb porgy.
