They were around tonight in good numbers and most of them were BIG. The hot plug was the DOC. They were smashing away at this!

I landed this slot from the kayak this evening. Slots and over slots are in abundance right now especially in Gansett Bay. The good times are rolling especially if you are fishing the Bay where there are very big numbers of big stripers around. In fact this is the most big fish I have ever seen at this time of year. Slots are more plentiful than...

Mon May 13 – Sag Harbor Scup Express Capt Dave reports another good day of fishing. It started a bit slow with the strong tide we had. When it slowed down we had very good fishing. The Porgies were all a good size. There were also Striped Bass but none were brought on the boat. […]

Pool winner – Eladio Cortes Staten Island NY 3 lb Scup

Over in Peconic bay I'm told the porgies are hanging around the Jessups Neck area as the do most every spring. The difference being the...

Capt Dave reports EXCELLENT fishing on the Viking Starlite. The best day we have seen so far! We had the biggest fish of the season with the pool winner being a true 3 pounder! All the Porgies were on the large side. The first drop was excellent but it started to get crowded around us […]

Capt Steven Sr reports a great trip on the Viking Starship. On our first deepwater wreck we found Pollock and some Cod. It wasn’t a great start. On the next drop we were inundated with Sea Bass to start but then had a really good shot of Barrel fish and Tiles. We hit the Tile […]

I landed very good numbers of stripers of all sizes from both the kayak and from shore this week.  The common theme here was what I was using.   I've written many times (and even did seminars this winter) about finesse fishing for stripers. In shallow water where stripers are feeding on small bait using unweighted plastic fluke bodies is the MOST...

Capt Dave reports really good fishing on the Viking Starlite. It was a good steady bite the whole trip. We had Porgies up to 2 lbs with very few smalls. We also had some keeper Weakfish and Striped Bass. The pool winner was Noel Miranda from Roosevelt Island NYC with a 2 1/2 lb Scup. […]

Capt Dave reports another day of good fishing on the Viking Starlite. It started out good on the first tide then it slowed down so we made a move. Then it got really good and they bit their heads off through the pouring rain! Pool winner was James Hom from Manhattan NY with a 2.5 […]

I'm back to fishing from the kayak when I have the right conditions and tides in the places I want to fish.  Tonight I went out and found good numbers of big fish- slots and over slots.  My biggest was a monster that was in the 40 to 45 inch range.  That big fish fell for an unweighted 5.75 inch Finesse Fish twitched along the top. So I was using...

Capt Dave reports a decent day of fishing on the Viking Starlite. We had a very good start with plenty of fish. It got a bit picky so we made a move. Fishing picked towards the end of the trip. The first hour of the trip really filled the coolers. Pool winner was Eugene Samuel […]

Capt Dave reports good fishing on the Viking Starlite. It really turned on and we had a one stop day. There were a few times we had to pick thru them when it was slow but for the most part it was excellent. There was not a pool today. We are sailing daily on the […]

Capt Steven Jr reports a good trip on the Viking Starship. We had tough fishing with the Tiles on the first day. With a fast drift and some dog fish in the area we had to do some looking around and it wasn’t until the later part of the day that we found some fish […]

Tonight was my first spring outing from the kayak and this was my first striper from the kayak.  I found a pile of schoolies.  All of them were caught on a weightless Super Zoom Flukes twitched on top.

Capt Dave reports a tougher day on the Viking Starlite. The fish were off the bite with the colder temperature today that resulted in a slow pick of Porgies. We did okay and everyone managed at least a pail full. The pool winner was Abraham Aviles from the Bronx with a 2 lb Porgy. We […]

More action has been reported in both Shinnecock and Peconic bays over the past week. Shinnecock has seen a good amount of striped bass...

Capt Carl reports a beautiful Saturday afternoon on the water aboard the Viking Star. Fishing was slow with water temps still in the 47-49 degree range but we did see some short Flukes. There was also a healthy amount of bait around so things are looking promising and will only get better and better as […]

Capt Dave reports a decent trip on the Viking Starlite. We had a nice shot first thing with the first hour being really good. After that it was a slow pick with mostly Large Porgies. We also had a keeper Striped Bass. It was a beautiful day on the water and we are looking forward […]
