Viking Five Star Tuna Charter We got back out to the edge for a 2 day trip last weekend with a group of local commercial fishermen. It was not a blood bath but still a good trip to send all the guys home with  a handful of yellow fin a few mahi and a mess of northern groupers. We also had a pup sword that we released and another better sword that we pulled the hook on. It was the first trip where we started to see the yellows on the night bite which was nice to see finally. Over all a good trip with a good group of guys ans a lot of laughs. Special thanks to David Tuma from the f/v Kimberly for putting the trip together.We have a few more open boat tuna trips coming up in…

Today’s pool winner was David Lee of Flushing with a 3.75 lb porgy.

Night Striped Bass Capt Ant reports another Disappointing night bite. We picked a few but nothing satisfactory for a full boat. We went all the way east to all the way west down the beach, marked everywhere but could not get them going. perhaps the wind against tide & slow drift or perhaps they are chewing ferociously in the day. The latter is happening as this report is being written @ 8am insane jig bite according to reliable sources we’ll let you know at 3 for sure.The pool winner was Tom Andretta from Yucaipar, CA with a 26lbs second place Dennis Romaniello from Calverton, Ny Block Island Porgies and Sea Bass Captain Dave reports an okay day of fishing aboard the Viking Starship today.

Night Striped Bass Capt Ant reports a slow night of bassing. We marked everywhere we went, only 1 bass on the ebb, then we had to sit through the slack and the start  of the flood we found beautiful blues biting baits.

3 Day Full Moon Tuna and Sword Ultra LTD Capt. Carl reports a pretty tough trip for our 3 Day Tuna/Sword trip. We started off trolling on Day 1 with whales, dolphins, and bait all around the boat but we only stopped for a couple of mahi mahi. Finally, late in the afternoon, we ran into some albacore and got 4 out of five on one pass. We made a couple more passed in the area but that’s all we got, so we anchored up and almost immediately landed a nice yellowfin on the chunk. For the rest of the night, however, we did not land anymore tunas. We did land and release 2 small swordfish, and had a couple other bites but nothing else boated. We started trolling again early the next morning and hooked up with some more…
