Fluke

Night Striped Bass Captain Anthony reports horrible conditions which equaled for horrible fishing. We started with slack drift, we got a few blues, then once we got the tide the drift was difficult but nothing mattered. Bass were not on the feed. We stayed out late and finally started marking, but only managed 1 out of a pile. The first place pool winner was George Simmons of North Babylon with a 23pounder and in second was Lucian Forantatas of Croton on Hudson with a 12pounder. Congrats to Lucien who at 14 years old showed up his father Christos a former derby winner. Half Day Fluke PM Captain Joe reports a good but windy afternoon on the Viking Starship today.

Sunset Striped Bass Trip Capt Ant reports a bloodbath with blues last night.  It was awesome!!  We had a bunch of families with many young girls beating up on the choppers and loving every minute of it.  Hopefully the new shoes for school weren’t worn last night!!  After boating about 100 of the yellow eyed beauties, we were off to bass fish with eels.  As it seems like its been lately, we got one immediately, a healthy 20lber and then the bottom dropped out with the tide for the remainder of the evening.  We got in a couple of drifts at the start of the flood but never really got to feeding speed.  All in all rod bending action and an absolutely gorgeous Sunset!! Adam Taylor from North Bellmore took the pool with a 17lb striper. Gabriella Cohn from Setauket…

Night Striped Bass Captain Anthony reports and optimistic outcome to last nights traditional bass trip. They bit where they were supposed to, however not in the quantity we’d like. Blues were definitely feasting as well, so overall it was a decent fishing trip with the two moo cows landed by Brian Jones of Golden Bridge NY who nailed a 38.7lb slob and took 1st place in the pool. And then there was Jeremy Hernandez from Yonkers who took second place with his 30.4 pounder. That was Jeremy’s second pool win in 2 nights- oh yea, and hes only 14! Way to go Jeremy! Viking Stariper Striped Bass Charter Half Day Fishing PM The afternoon trip was OUTRAGEOUS reports Capt Steven. We had tons and tons of beautiful sea bass and nice fluke, for an absolutely great fishing trip….

Half Day Fluke PM Little slower than this mornings trip due to some higher winds but still put together a good catch of keeper fluke along with a bunch of porgies in the mix. In the end everyone went home with a nice catch for the day. First prize in the pool went to Micheal Benneth from Montauk with a 7lb Fluke. Second was Wilson Plaza from Montauk with a 5lb Fluke Block Island Behemoth Striped Bass Trophy Hunt Capt Ant reports very good fishing at Block Island if you’re into behemoth bluefish. The bass on the other hand was slow, most likely due to the blue infestation on all the pieces. We did find some healthy bass very late in the trip, last 5 drifts were solid if you tended your lines. Unfortunately no behemoths but we’ll try again…

Night Striped Bass Capt Ant reports a tough day at the office although we had bites-plenty of them but the 4.2 knot drift made it tough to connect. We grinded out a catch but could never get a consistent feeding frenzy. Pool winners were 11 year old Justin Wolfe who had a 28lber and coming in first, and for second place we had Chris Luke with a 24lb striper.

2 Day Deep Water Extended Both Days Ultra Limited Captain Steven Sr reports an okay offshore trip this past week. On day 1, Mother Nature did her part by giving us an unpleasant start with steady 20+ mph winds all day, which made it very difficult to tend the bottom. With the big ground swell from the east-wind, we had some tough conditions, but we did manage to make a decent day with some tiles, hake, pollack, a few norther groupers and barrel fish. On day 2, we had the opposite- it was flat and calm, making for good conditions and a much better bite. We had tile fish up to 43lbs, 9 fish over 25lbs, a nice bunch of 8-15lb healthy tiles- overall lots of quality fish! By the end of the trip, everyone was happy with their catch!…

Full Day Block Island Fluke and Sea Bass Capt Carl reports another solid day fishing for fluke and sea bass in Block Island. In the first minute of the first drift Tasso Tsiatis slammed a doormat fluke over 8lbs. We steadily picked away at quality keeper fluke for the whole morning, many around a little bit here and there. There was some sea bass in the mix as well as giant scup, one striped bass, one blue fish and even one codfish! We did get dogged out of some areas which hurt our sea bass totals but everyone had some. Tommy Alexopolous did work totaling 8 keepers (orl) to…

Block  Island Behemoth Trophy Hunt Captain Ant reports an excellent night at Block, with both quantity and quality.  We actually had our best night of the year for quantity and totaled 5 fish over the 30lb mark.  Two  anglers especially were on fire.  Chris “Cool Hand” Luke had 5 total bass, a 37.2lb pool fish, a 34, a 28 another keeper around 10lbs and a throwback…nothing like getting the smallest and the largest.  Frank “Guiness” Stoutenberg was the first to nail a Behemoth and came in second with a 36.8lb trophy.  Frank also added a 31, and 26lb fish.  Jonny “Jesus of the Elbow” had his limit to 34lbs, Our good old friend Don “Juan” Mitchell nailed a beauty, always silent but deadly with the rod and reel!!!  “The Big Man” Jeff Thompson also had his limit to about 25lbs….
