Capt JR reports a good day of fishing on the Viking Starship. The morning bite was definitely very good with lots of sea bass and porgies making up the majority of the catch. The afternoon tide change slowed the bite down a bit but we maintained a decent pick for the remainder of the trip. […]

Here's a November schoolie that hit my NLBN paddle tails. It was a  subpar November with schoolies in short supply. November is in the books and it was NOT memorable.  There was a time just a short while ago when November shore fishing was lights out. I remember that surf casters would simply sit on a lawn chair on any of those south shore beach...

Capt JR reports a very good trip on the Viking Starship. We saw even more improvement on the Porgy front with double headers coming over the rail. Most were in the large to jumbo range. There was also a good amount of quality sized Cod and plenty of Sea Bass. We also had some Weakfish. […]

Capt Dave reports some decent action fishing today on the Viking Starship. After a few days of high wind we were finally able to get back out fishing to Block Island and had a pretty good day. The conditions today weren’t great which didn’t make for the best fishing with dirty water and some rougher […]

Most of the stripers lately have been schoolies under 20 inches. Bucktail jigs and 3 inch NLBN paddle tails have been the hot lures. Normally I don't fish the oceanfront much after Thanksgiving but I have had such good success lately that I am still fishing. While most of the fish of late November have been smaller schoolies (fish we have not se...

Capt Dave reports good fishing on the Viking Starship. The Porgies were off the bite again today but there were plenty of Sea Bass around.

Capt Dave reports an okay day on the Viking Starship. The Porgy bite was off today probably due to the leftover dirty water from the blow and the full moon. On the other hand Sea Bass were biting everywhere we went! They were pretty much all keepers with only a few throwbacks. There were also […]

Capt JR reports a very nice day on the Viking Star. We started a little deep today targeting Knothead Sea Bass and found some very good catching. The shallower grounds brought some STUD Blackfish and some more beauty Sea Bass Cod and a few hub cap Scup. Big Blackfish bit well today in all the […]

It's been red hot fishing in the last four days for me. The fish are all sizes from 15 inches to 40 inches! You never know what's going to happen in this game. I had been having a fair to poor November like everyone else and I was just about ready to give it up when suddenly my luck turned around. The last 4 days/nights have been super good for...

Capt JR reports a stellar trip to Coxes Ledge today onboard the Viking Star. We had slammer jumbo Knothead Sea Bass fishing with a very nice showing of green Cod to bend the rods. Loads of action all day with a few Ling big Cunners and hub cap Scup to top off the buckets. Everyone […]
