Block Island Porgies and Sea Bass Captain Dave reports another great day of fishing today. We headed to the west side and found a slew of porgies.

We did have a couple fluke and bluefish, but it was mostly porgies today. Today’s pool winner was Lou with a 3lb porgy.

Night Striped Bass Capt Ant reports another slow night on the bass grounds however we did nail a beauty at 34.88lbs caught by Francis Mistresse of Lindenhurst N.Y wind against tide gave us a very slow drift all night and it was tough to cover any ground. Conditions for tonight will no doubt be better with wind with a new moon tide. fingers crossed! Half Day Fluke PM Captain Joe reports an okay afternoon of fishing.

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.

Sunday August 25

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….

Fri Aug 23

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…
