 Sunday June 30 Half Day Fluke PM Captain Anthony reports another super fluke trip on the Viking Starship! Our first couple drifts produced nothing in the dirty flood tide. So we poked around for the clean green and we bailed them! We had fluke, scup and even a striper. Thanks to Dylan this time around for the photos! Today’s pool winner was Roy Weydig of Glenwood Landing with a 4.9lb fluke. Half Day Fluke AM Captain Anthony reports OUTSTANDING fishing today. Fluke were chewing their heads off! It was a 5 to 1 ratio, but when you catch over 100, the keeper add up. We had plenty of JUMBO ocean porgies as well and nice sea bass up to 5lbs (released unharmed). The pool fish was a solid 5 pounder. Even the Vikings own Kobi caught a keeper! Unfortunately with…

Saturday June 29 Half Day Fluke PM Capt Ant report A decent PM trip we went back to our morning spot, nailed 3 keepers immediately, then brown water and the wind came up  and we were flying. The bite shut down so we moved on and had a decent bite with higher shorts to keeper ratio but still managed a decent catch and some monster Porgies. Half Day Fluke AM Captain Anthony reports excellent fishing despite tough early conditions. We crushed shorties to start the day only picking a couple for the frying pan. Once the tide began to flood, the keepers started biting! We also had a mix of porgysaurus’, some blues and a few sea bass (released unharmed). Today’s first place pool winner was Elizabeth Serge- Lawrence of Sag Harbor with a 4.5lb fluke and in second was…

The first place pool winner was Charles Betbabanta of Turlock, California with a 7.3lb fluke and in second was Christine Dassler with a 4.7 fluke.

Captain Dave reports a tough day of fishing today. It was a fast drift with a delicate bite due to the full moon. We had some porgies along with some fluke and sea bass (all released unharmed).

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.

Captain Ant  reports a solid night of bass fishing how ever it took some jigging skill to really have a good night due to there ripping tide tallied 10 bass & Chris and Danny swept 1st & 2nd with a 23.7 lber & 19lber respectively. While jigging was solid with bass, blues, scup & fluke the eel bite was picky. We scratched a drift it seems all night but could not get multi hookups. The pool winners were Chris Luke Southampton, NY with a 23lbs and second place went to Danny Wes Watermill, NY with a 19lbs.

Captain Anthony reports a tough afternoon with a strong flood SW wind, we were flying! But we managed to catch early and late. We had a 20 lb striper by Teddy and plenty of scup in the mix. We had some shorties but less than the past few trips. Today’s first place pool winner was Chris Gobler of East Quogue, NY with a 6lb bluefish, and in 2nd place was Alex Guruich of Sag Harbor, NY with a 4.5 lb fluke. Click HERE for photos!

The first place pool winner was Captain Dave Marmeno’s daughter Courtney from Montauk with a 4.6lb porgy, and in second place was Brandan Welch, also from Montauk, with a 3.7lb fluke.

Capt Ant reports a very good night of bassing and a fabulous night of fishing. Jigs were the ticket and we harvested Montauk’s bounty. Bass, blues, jumbo scup, fluke and Black Sea Bass(returned), a feeding frenzy for the first 2 and a half hours. We lost the tide and it was a lull for the rest of the night with the exception of one more bass.
