Block Island Behemoth Night Striped Bass Captain Carl reports another fantastic night bass fishing on the Viking Starship! We fished Block for the entire ebb tide and had fish every drift to 43lbs! Once we lost the tide , we shot back to Montauk for the beginning of the flood tide and caught very well. We filled our full boat limit of GIANT MOO COW LINESIDERS!! Jay Weber from Ridge, NY took the top honors with a 43.5lb behemoth, barely edging out another 42.5 pounder! . Half Day Fluke PM Captain Joey D reports an excellent afternoon of fishing aboard the Viking Stariper!

Block Island Jumbo Porgies and Sea Bass Captain Dave reports a decent day of fishing today. We had tons of really nice quality sea bass today with a mix of nice porgies.

Today’s first place pool winner was Robert Batt of Floral Park with a nice 3.5lb porgy and in second place was Ray Negron of Brooklyn with a nice 4.5lb sea bass.

Half Day Fluke AM One of Viking Fleet’s favorite regulars Angelo Demetroulakos won the pool yesterday! Block Island Behemoth Capt. Ant reports an excellent Bass trip last night overall.  We started the night out at the local grounds and had a fantastic start.  26 keepers in 6 drifts to 35lbs.  We then moved to the Behemoth grounds and for the first time this year were denied.  Still a bit of a heave on to the east and that might have effected the bite.  They certainly were there, in fact more piles of bass than I’ve seen in a few weeks.  Just no bite.  We’d pass through a school and catch 1 when every rod should have been doubled over.  We picked a few more over the night to round out the catch.  Frank Guinesss Stoutenberg was high hook with 4…

Half Day Fluke PM Captain Anthony D reports an excellent afternoon of fishing. We had non stop action all afternoon with stuffed buckets all down the rail. We had nice sized fluke along with some sea bass and scup in the mis. All of our anglers will be eating well tonight! Today’s pool winner was Michael Shaye of Richmond VA with a nice 6.9lb fluke. Montauk Local Porgies and Sea Bass Captain Dave reports an okay day of fishing today. It was a bit slower than yesterday, but not too bad but the bite was a little off. We still managed a nice catch of sea bass and porgies, both mixed in sizes. We had some really nice quality big sea bass today. Today’s first place pool winner was Robert Brown with a 2.75lb porgy and in second place was…

Viking FiveStar Tuna We returned yesterday late afternoon from another good trip offshore. The first night was slow with mostly shark bites throughout the night. We landed 1 nice yellow fin in the early morning. The next day on troll we picked up a few albacore and couple mahi. The second night was what made the trip- The first half of the night we battled with more sharks and lost a couple fish close to the boat. In the early morning they started to chew. We had them eating the chum on the surface swimming around the boat and started throwing bait to them. For an hour and a half it was lock and load fishing. All the fish were good sized in the 60-80 lb range. After that it slowed up for us and we started to troll our…

Half Day Fluke PM We had Terri Coleman from Holbrook NY with a 5.1lber for first place and Angelo Demetroulakous from Brooklyn NY with a 4.5lbs fluke in second place. 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…

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…

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.
