Block Island Porgies and Sea Bass Captain Dave reports a bit of a slower day today due to the east winds. It started out with some smaller sized fish than what we have been getting, so we moved to find the bigger ones. And we found them, but it was quality over quantity today.

Today’s first place pool winner was Randy from Jersey City with a 4lb porgy and in second was Benjamin Barajas of Queens with a 15lb cod.

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.
