Today’s first place pool winner was Roy Tyrell of Paterson NJ with a 2.5lb porgy, and in second place was Mohammad Mukul of Queens with a 3lb sea bass.

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. We picked away and in the blues we picked a few more bass. Once the tide started cranking, all stopped not a touch. Pool winner Mr Rodger Nelson from Baldwin, NY with a 27lbs Second place Mr Stan Skiba from Sparta, NJ with a 24lber Block Island Porgies and Sea Bass Captain Dave reports a better day of fishing than yesterday.

Block Island Porgies and Sea Bass Captain reports a bit of a slow day today in Block Island. The porgy bite was a bit off, but the ones we managed to get were a very nice size. We also had some really nice size sea bass, and a few keeper cod in the mix. A big thanks to Harvey Broadnax and gang from Michigan who fished with us for 2 days in a row and caught a bunch of fish! Today’s first place pool winner was Anastasios Tsiatis of Bellmont with a 4lb porgy and in second was Danny Ko of Brooklyn with an 8lb cod.

Full Day Block Island Porgies and Sea Bass Captain Dave reports a slower day of fishing over at Block than we have seen lately. The Porgies were slower to come over the rails but on a positive note we caught a bunch of quality jumbo Sea Bass. Sandy Amanuel of Manhattan won the Porgy pool with a 4lb Porgy. The edible pool winner today was Alvin Joseph who caught himself a nice 12lb Bluefish. 2 Day Tuna Capt Carl reports a decent tuna bite during the day, but a slow night. The first day we picked up a couple albacore trolling around, as well as some mahi mahi. The night bite never turned into much, with just some mystery bites and some blue sharks. We picked up a couple more albacore on the second day both trolling and jigging. Greg Jenkins took the tuna…

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…

Night Striped Bass Capt. Ant reports another excellent night of Bassing with 53  Stripers caught as well as a mess of Beautiful Blues.  It wasn’t the mayhem of Thursday’s trip, just consistent action every drift until the tide died out on us.  We also had to deal with the weekend Googans doing 20 knots through the biomass and about 75 boats fishing the same zone so obviously it scattered the linesiders.  All in all, we still put the meat in the box!! Returnees from Thursday, George Jehn and Chris Luke one again had their limit.  Chris’ better half Michelle made her first trip and landed her first Starship keeper, then told Chris he needed to buy her a rod of her own…ah what could be more romantic:):)….Doug Seay, who has had at least one bass his last 5 trips didn’t…

Full Moon Night Striped Bass Capt Ant has just one thing to say, GET IT WHILE THE GETTIN IS GREAT!!! 41 fares, 77 Striped beauties. It was an unbelievable night. The moon lit up the sky, the moo cow linesiders lit up the bottom machine and at the end if the night the anglers lit up victory cigars!  Every drift produced 5-10 bass with only a few blues in the mix. It wasn’t easy, you really had to let them eat and that’s tough in a 4 knot tide, but those who got it down were rewarded. George Jehn, author of Flying to close to the Sun, available on amazon, was high hook with 7. Chris Luke a close second with 6, Danny Wes with 5. Frank the Greaser Stoutenberg nailed 3 in the last hour alone. All retaining their…

Block Island Porgies and Sea Bass Captain Dave reports an okay day of fishing today. It was alright midway, but once we got to Block they started coming over the rails. We had a bit of smaller sized porgies today, but a lot of them! Also found a lot of big sea bass today. We also had some blackfish, which were all released unharmed, and some blues in the mix. Today’s pool winner was Kar Yip of Queens with a 3lb porgy.

Block Island Porgies and Sea Bass Captain Dave reports a pretty good day of fishing today aboard the Viking Starship. It was a pretty good day for porgies, and an okay day for the sea bass. Although we got the sea bass some up to about 4lbs, the majority were a bit on the smaller side. We also had some bluefish in the mix. Today’s pool winner was Stanley Tinter from Marco Island FL with a 3.5lb porgy.
