Night Striped Bass

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. The second place pool winner was Tony Sales from East Hampton, NY with a 34lb 6oz bass. . Montauk Jumbo Porgies Captain Dave reports good fishing today on the Viking Star. Everyone had their limit.

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…

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….

Sunset Stripers Capt Ant reports two nights in a row of slow fishing on the Sunset Jigging trip.  The bite has been off at the light for the past few days so we gave up on the jigs and tried eeling to entice some fish to bite.  There is so much bait around the lighthouse zone right now that even eels made no difference.  Both Sunday and Monday trips delivered 2 bass each trip with a few blues in the mix.  Could be our August summer doldrums are here, or could be that they are waiting for the moon to start feeding again.  Either way it’s been tough fishing.  Pool winners were:Kathleen Brophy Middletown, NY with a 26lbs Second Place went to Nick Puglisi, Westchester, with a 15lbs Half Day Fluke PM Capt Carl reports a great afternoon on the…

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…

Block  Island Flood Chaser Striped Bass- CHECK OUT OUR UPDATED MOO COWNTER! Capt Ant reports a Behemoth of a night at the Island. The first 2 hours we starved for a drift and caught nothing. We left our normal spot and hit another BANG! We found’em and BIG! George Jehn nailed a 45.7lber. We drilled out a pick and had about 10 fish over the 30lb mark. We went back to our normal spot for a few and MOOO- Joseph Patrone hooked into a Goliath. He fought it perfectly and a stellar job by both Eric and Joey- landing our LARGEST OF THE YEAR. It pushed our boat scale past its 50lb limit. When we arrived at the dock we put it on the official scale- a 50.06lb BEHEMOTH! Congrats Joe and nice Viking hat. You are our new leader…

Night Striped Bass Captain Ant reports,The best overall trip we had all year. with a full boat we had our limit all on jigs. Fish were between 10lbs and 35lbs we just hit it right tonight a total of 7 long drifts had the linesiders following the Starship over half a mile at a time. If i wrote all the names of the limited out fares you would get 90% of the roster Sick Fishing! Pool winner Shawn Donovan from Huntington, NY with 35lbs Second place Gene Faucella Roslyn, NY with a 31lbs  We will be Jigging again Sunday  at 5.30 sharp! Half Day Fishing PM Fishing was good this afternoon. Sea bass action had an edge over the fluke. It turned out to be a very nice day on the water. The pool winner was John Moses…

Block Island Behemoth Trophy Hunt 2013 Viking MOO COWNTER Capt. Ant has one simple word for last nights Behemoth Bass trip to Block……..MOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!! It was sick, plain and “udderly” simple as our first 10 drifts produced 5, yes 5 Block Island Behemoth Bass over 40lbs.  By no means was it a bloodbath, however this trip is about the Trophy of a lifetime and there were quite a few happy herders on the Starship when we hit the dock at 4a.  We tried a different rock pile last night and it paid off big time.  I still can’t believe Joe “Cowmis” Khamis.  Joe was last years Derby winner and all he has done this year is continued his slaughter of Moo Cow Linesiders.  Not one, not two, but three fish over 30lbs tonight. Not one, but 2 fish over 46lbs tonight….
