Full Day Montauk Porgies

Night Striped Bass-Starship Captain Carl reports a fair night of fishing Saturday night. We first chased some birds around, but they were diving on tiny bait with small blues under them. Once the sun went down and the tide switched over, we had steady action all night with a good amount of striped bass, as well as lots of blue fish! It was an action packed leading to bloody decks! All in all a fun night aboard the Viking Starship with great weather and fun fishing!! The first place pool winner was Andrea Stimpfl from Hauppauge, NY with a 36lb 6oz striped bass.

Sunday Striper Special To top of our weekend, our new Sunday 5-10 eel trip was a dud.  For the first time this year we went fishless.  We hit every spot under the sun, not even a blue fish.  We did have a few bites, seemed like bass bites as eels came up in one piece, but the way it’s been lately, those chances needed to be maximized but weren’t.  It seems the new moon brought on a day bite again so hopefully as we get on the other side the stronger night tides will get them back on the feed.  Its 9/2, history doesn’t lie, the fall run is close and soon the lull will be over. Full Day Porgies and Sea Bass Capt Dave reports yet another good day out porgy fishing. Once again we had nice quality…

Half Day Fluke PM and AM Capt Ant reports the AWESOME fluke fishing continued today on both the morning and the afternoon trips. In the AM we hit the spots we had a hot bite at yesterday and it didn’t disappoint. In 4 drifts we had over 30 keepers. Unfortunately it got a bit ugly so we abandoned the zone to find out they were biting just as good close to home.  The first place pool winner in the morning was Greg Figarello from Ronkonkoma with a 6.25lb fluke. John Gilday from East Williaston got second place in the pool. In the afternoon we once again had Super fishing even with a brisk 2.4knot drift. We saw some bigger fish this afternoon as well with the largest fish going a solid 8lbs. The pool winners Were Scott ans Jack Archer…

Half Day Fluke PM The afternoon fishing was on the slow side. Wind and tide made it tough. We managed to scratch together a small catch- a mix of sea bass, porgies ans fluke. Half Day Fluke AM Capt Ant reports a sensational fluke trip and summer bottom fishing trip.  We went where we have been going to start only to find every boat in Montauk combing the bottom.  We picked but not enough so we headed off to a new zone and it certainly paid off.  Large fat fluke, jumbo sea bass and monster porgy’s throughout a very long drift.  We wound up tallying 38 keeper fluke for 34 fares and did the majority in 3 drifts. Full Day Porgies and Sea Bass Fishing was a little slower than it has been due to the strong tides. When the…

Night Striped Bass Capt. Ant reports a frustrating night of Bassing.  15-20kts out of the SW against a strong Ebb…yuck..tough drifting conditions had us drifting backwards in order to keep the lines straight.  The fish were there and stacked and biting, but they were biting tentatively.  I saw 3 fish come up last night just holding the eel tail, never getting the hook, and it wasn’t from swinging early.  You really had to be experienced to catch last night as our regulars, Chris Luke, Doug Seay and Jonny Jesus of the Elbow Rewinski tallied 3,2,2, respectively.  Chris himself said he missed about 12 bites.  So overall all we scratched and clawed and put a catch together with some absolute beauty Moo Cow Linesiders in the mix as well with two fish breaking the 35lb mark and, by divine intervention a…

Half Day Fluke PM Fishing was pretty tough this afternoon. We had wind against tide and the conditions were just too difficult. We managed a handful of keepers. The pool winner was Kenneth Heath from Elkton MD with a 5.75lbs fluke. Second place winner was Kyle Lett from Golden Bridge NY with a 5.1lbs fluke . Half Day Fluke AM Fishing was good this morning, reports Capt Joe from the Viking Starship. We had nice keeper fluke as well as some JUMBO sea bass mixed in. It was also a beautiful day out on the water. Matthew Angellilo from Burlington CT took the pool with a 6.7lb fluke and second place went to Bill Sullivan who had a 5.9lber. Full Day Porgies and Sea Bass Capt Dave reports that the bite was VERY GOOD again today. We lad all…

Sunset Stripers Jigging Trip Capt. Ant reports the Sunset Striper Slam on Monday was full of action for the first 2 hours but as the tide slowed o did the catching.  We started bailing blues, our first two drifts producing about 50 of the sabre toothed alligators.  We moved zones and found some beautiful bass and continued to bloody the Viking Star.  Unfortunately that was short lived, but not after Angelo nailed 3 (orl)..man was he on fire.  Jonny “Jesus” of the Elbow” Rewinski brought a couple of disciples who also caught a bass apiece, Jonny however could only manage the choppers.  Overall we had about a third of the boat catch a bass and about 90% catch a blue or 6:)  Great crew, Great Sunset, another great summer night of Viking Fishing!The Pool winner was Jeff Thompson from Elmont,…

Sunset Stripers  Jigging Trip Capt Ant reports a solid night of fishing aboard our Sunset Striper Special. We had a decent amount of keepers and blues and even a fluke in the mix. Unfortunately our wind against tide drift made conditions difficult for a square drift we still managed to pick all trip. Pool winners were: Mr Scorzelli with a 17lb Second was a tie with Matitchine and Barvstein with a 16pounder Half Day Fluke PM Capt Ant reports an afternoon of Fluking for the ages!!!  We not only bailed keeper fluke, we bailed JUMBOS!!  Over 40 keepers were landed in 2 hours time. With mates Eric, Steve and Ant Jr, we came to a crew decision to dare to be different and leave the crowd behind, so we steamed off beyond our normal half day zone and were rewarded…
