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…

Jig &Eel Combo Capt. Ant reports a fantastic night locally considering the conditions.  We had a stiff northwest wind against a screaming flood tide, add to it the swell of Cristobal and drifting squarely was a challenge to say the least.  Even with that they finally bit after a month hibernation. The sizes were mixed as we had a couple throwbacks up to a 42lb rock slob.  Average was about 20bs.  Bluefish were a bit of a nuisance at the start but once the tide got roaring it was 99% Moo Cow Linesiders and 3-4 a drift up until we left.  John Bye from Wantaugh took the pool with the 42lber and Mike Scarzelli took 2nd with a 36lber. Half Day Fluke AM Captain Ant reports an excellent morning trip with quality fluke and jumbo sea bass and biscuits in…

Block Island Behemoth Capt Ant reports another very good trip to Behemothland.  We had extremely difficult drifting conditions and while we didn’t catch our first fish until 4 hours into the trip, the bite finally turned on and delivered many moo cows and one Behemoth at 40.9lbs caught by Justin Alicea from Sleepy Hollow.  Christos aka Fester took second with a 39lber and father in law Angelo D added a 31.  The King of the night was Jose Splash Ruiz with 4 keepers to 35lbs.  I guess that makes Paul Ryan the Queen with 3 to 36lbs.  Each retained their limit.  Don Mitchell was able to nail a high 30’s Moo Cow even with a bad wrist.   Looking forward to Midnight Madness as timing should be perfect for the feeding frenzy.

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…

Night Striped Bass Capt. Ant reports a slow start to last nights trip but once we got the tide we had a BEHEMOTH BLAST for the last 2 and a half hours.  Overall the trip was fantastic with many of our regular guests catching multiple Moo Cows.  Practice makes perfect and these guys just know the way these big boys bite.  Chad the Shad had  4 to 35lbs,  George “new book our soon” Jehn had 4 to 37lbs and Gary “Big Fish” Young had 4 to 38lbs.  All retained their limit.  Joe Pagillo limited to 30, Dan Bender and Ivan Grvic each had 32lbers.  Scott Goldman had his limit as well but he landed a Behemoth at 40lbs .  Jimmy “Keepon Reeling” Thieling from Deer Park had his largest ever at 41.3lbs and that Behemoth took 2nd Place.   Scott…

Night Striped Bass Captain Ant reports a slower trip on the local bass front due to the storm muddied waters. We picked a few and all were beauties, but once the mud rolled in, it was over. George Jehn hacked a mammoth fish. First place pool winner was a young lady with a nice 38lb striped bass and in second place was Chris Luke with a 30lb bass. Based on the water condition locally, the Saturday trips will be going to Block Island. Please reserve ASAP! We are SOLD OUT for tonight!! .

Block Island Behemoth Capt. Ant reports our hunt for the Beasts for the East was Bassacret!!!!  Barring the first few drifts we absolutely crushed them with 5-8 Behemoths getting stuck with the gaffs on every drift.  85% of the fish were over 30lbs including a pair from Hanging Chad that weight 30 and 36lbs, No disrespect to Chad, but that was nothing.  We had 5 fish over 40lbs this trip.  Eddie Kartar took the pool with a 43.6 and also had a 33 and 25 (orl).  Guiseppe Lombardi had a 42.1 and a 37, Lawrence Wong had 42.0, Michael Nelson had a 41.8, a 37 and 29lber, and Nancy Belermo had a 40 even.  Flat out sick.  Gary “Bigfish”Young also had 3 to 36lbs as did Dr. Jay Zieglerto 36lbs…..Outstanding work by the best bass crew in the universe…Eric, Justin,…

Sunset Striper Slam Capt. Ant reports a bluefish bloodfest at the lighthouse tonight.  Birds everywhere and blues from albs to 15lbs munching heartily on jigs.  Under tough conditions we put a hurting on them as well as about a bushel of scup for the boat.  James Perry from Riverhead took the pool with a 12lb Striper and Luke Cocaran came in 2nd with a 15lb blue.  Beautiful Sunset, Big Blues and a happy arm weary crew went home with bags o meat. Half Day Fluke Pm Capt Ant reports an okay pm trip although we had to hide from the weather a bit.  Christine Dassler and Teri Coleman still managed to put 5 keepers in the box to 4lbs. Pool fish was 5.2 lbs by young…..Conor McMillen  Age 6 Montauk Local Porgies and Sea Bass Captain Dave reports a slow…

Sunset Striper Slam Capt. Ant reports rod bending action started our night and lasted while we had tide. Monster blues were everywhere from the light to as far east as the eye could see. We had a few bail job drifts also picking monster porgys, jumbo sea bass and even a 5lb fluke. Bass were non-existent in the frenzy as we never had the brisk tide they feed on. All in all a solid jigging trip. Half Day Fluke Pm Capt Ant reports another solid fluke trip with copious amounts of sea bass and scup in the buckets as well. Christine the Dazzler Dassler had 3 beauty fluke and a bunch of biscuits to 4lbs.in Montauk Local Porgies and Sea Bass Captain Dave reports excellent fishing today!

Tommy A. had 10 keeper fluke (ORL) and 18 keeper sea bass (ORL). There were many quality fluke in the 4-6lb range, just no giant ones. Sea bass was the same, lots of 3-3.5…
