This should be the peak of the fall fishing.  Instead we are looking at a November lull that has brought only fair to poor striper fishing along much of the oceanfront these first seven days of November.  I've done a lot of driving around in November looking for fish and I have seen and caught very little- way off compared to other years.  In the...

Capt Steven Sr. reports a good day of fishing on the Viking Star. Started off with a bumpy ride out but well worth the ride. We had a solid hour and a half of jumbo SeaBass fishing with an easy boat limit right off the bat. We then went to do some Black fish which […]

Capt Dave reports good fishing on the Viking Superstar. Today we stayed tight up to the island out of the rough weather. We had calm conditions in the protected area. It was a slow and steady pick of nice sized Porgies with plenty for all. There were some keeper Sea Bass but a lot were […]

Capt Joe reports an excellent trip on the Viking Star today. Today was an absolute slammer trip with about a dozen large Cod on the boat and non-stop Sea Bass action all day. Seabass fishing was just about as good as it gets with double-triple headers flying over the rail. Everyone left the boat today […]

Capt Dave reports a very good day of fishing today on the Viking Superstar. We spent the day inshore for the most part tucked in closer to the island making plenty of drifts. We picked away pretty much all day and had a good pick of large size Porgies. SeaBass weren’t as nice in size […]

Captain Carl reports a slower night than we have been seeing this week. We still caught plenty of squid and the anglers who were dialed in caught very well but other anglers did not. The squid were all over the surface around the boat and under the boat but they were biting more finicky then […]

Capt Dave reports a tough day on the Viking Superstar. The Porgies were off the bite so we did a lot of searching around. It was a tough pick but we found some everywhere we went. Two of the drops were really good but not for as long as we would have liked. The Sea […]

Blackfish pool winner was Gary Smith from West Orange NJ with a 4.8 lber. The Sea Bass pool winner was John Gallo from Center Moriches NY with a 2.8 lber.

Capt Carl reports another VERY GOOD Squid report again tonight from the Viking Starlite. As soon as we anchored up they were biting! It became LIGHTS OUT catching for the first half of the trip with Big Tubes flying in many double headers and even triple headers! Some anglers already had a full bucket and […]

Capt Dave reports a pretty good day of fishing today on the Viking Star. This morning started off tough with the conditions bouncing us around a bit. This made for slower fishing with not as many bites. As the weather cleared later in the day we worked our way offshore and got into some high […]

A big pile of mackerel at dark saved the day which had been disappointing. The bait is around but the stripers are in short supply as November gets off to a slow start. Today was a strange day.  In fact it has been a strange week that brought big numbers of small bait to the shore along with birds diving.  But stripers have been in short supply....

Capt Dave reports a very good day of fishing today on the Viking Star. We tucked ourselves in nice to the island and had ourselves a great pick of medium to jumbo Porgies with a few SeaBass mixed in. We also had a pick of Striped Bass in the shallow water with 1-2 keepers and […]

Capt. Joe reports an absolute slammer night of Squid fishing!! Fishing was just about as good as it gets last night from the minute we set anchor and anglers dropped down it was over the rail and into the pail with some large tubes. Just about every angler filled at least a bucket if not […]

Capt JR reports an excellent trip onboard the Viking Star. We had absolutely SLAMMER Sea Bass fishing with Cod to be had on every drop. Big beautiful Knothead Sea Bass made up the majority of the catch. But we had a very nice mix of species all day with Cod Ling and GIANT hub cap Scup […]

Capt Dave reports another excellent day on the Viking Starship. We stayed offshore in the deep water and had a good pick of Porgies with very nice Sea Bass in the mix. There were also about a 1/2 dozen Cod and some Mackerel. The pool winner was Niguel Crawford with a 2 1/2 lb Porgy. […]

Capt Dave reports excellent fishing today on the Viking Starship. We started off hiding around the island this morning to escape some of the windy and rough conditions but had ourselves a great pick. We had a lot of action around there with large and jumbo Porgies big Blue fish and even 3-4 keeper Striped […]

Capt Dave reports a very good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. We had a lot of action today with all some quality Porgies and SeaBass. Both the SeaBass and Porgies were on the larger size than we have been seeing with not as many small SeaBass to pick through. Fishing in the […]

Capt. Carl reports an overall slower trip tonight on the squid boat. We (again) caught them as soon as we anchored up and they bit pretty good for us with lots of Big tubes and some double headers coming for the first 2 hours. Buckets were filling up… but…then the tide went slack and the […]

Capt Dave reports a great trip on the Viking Starship. We started out close to the island like yesterday but the tide was screaming and caused a ton of tangles so we left there quickly and headed to deeper water. We got in three nice anchor drops. Everywhere we went the Porgies bit well and […]

Capt JR reports another day of improvement on the Blackfish front. Had a steady pick of fish all morning with with a better keeper ratio. The Sea Bass fishing wasn’t lock and load today but a good pick of solid knotheads. The afternoon brought another decent pick of blackfish with those who knew what they […]

Most reports are coming from our local ocean beaches both east and west of the Shinnecock inlet. Striped bass are being taken on the...
