Capt JR reports that we took advantage of the great weather and ventured out for the first trip of the new year onboard the Viking Star. We didn’t find the mother load but we did find lots of life with some nice Cod Pollock Ling Cunners and Mackerel coming over the rail. Guys who jigged […]

This hefty schoolie was one of three that I landed today from the Yak. I'm on the board for 2024. I went out today on New Year's Day in my kayak the first adventure of the year in the yak.  I had low expectations but was fishing a winter holdover location. I figured one striper any size would be an accomplishment. Well I ended up with three of t...

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Capt Dave reports improved fishing from yesterday on the Viking Starship. We had a bunch of Sea Bass Ling and Bergalls in the catch. Unfortunately no Porgies or Cod to be had today. It does look like things are coming back to life after the big blow. The pool winner was Noel Miranda from Roosevelt […]

Capt Dave reports a very tough day on the Viking Starship. This was our first day out since last Sunday and we found very dirty water left over from the blow. Action was very limited finding only a few Porgies some Sea Bass a Ling and a couple of dogfish. Hopefully we will find cleaner […]

It was a very good year for slot and above slot stripers from shore and kayak in Narragansett Bay. This season had its ups and downs. Striper fishing overall was very good for large fish slots and above but a lack of schoolies was evident.  Bluefish showed in good numbers with large fish fairly plentiful in the first half of the season. Albies w...

Capt Dave reports a tough day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. Most of the morning was very difficult to fish with the poor weather conditions rocking the boat making for little to no bite. We had a few fish mixed in but didn’t really get on them till the last hour to hour […]

Capt JR reports a tough day on the Viking Star. The Sea Bass fishing was definitely not what it has been. However the Blackfishing was definitely okay for those who knew what time it was. Plenty of guys had their limit with some beefy specimens in the mix. There’s still time to come on down […]

Capt Dave reports a decent day on the Viking Starship. We caught them good today and saw more Porgies than we have been seeing. There were plenty of Sea Bass in the mix along with some Cod. The first place pool winner was Victor Morales with a 2 1/4 lb Porgy. The edible pool winner […]

Capt Dave reports a slower day on the Viking Starship. We did not see as many Porgies as we have been maybe because of the rougher conditions today. Sea Bass were plentiful and we had a bunch of Cod as well. The pool winner was Calvin Blugh from Brooklyn NY with a 6 lb Cod […]

Capt Dave reports a very good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. Despite some cold weather today and a few days of being blown in from weather the fish were still there! We had a slow and steady pick most of the day with. regular mixed bag pick of large fish. We had […]

Capt Carl and Capt JR report EXCELLENT fishing on our Nantucket Wreck Christmas Cod and Sea Bass Spectacular! We started fishing just before sun-up and we fished until post sun-down and it was awesome! Giant XXXL Dinosaur Gaffer Sea Bass and plenty of Codfish mixed in along with some mixed size Pollack and Giant Cunners […]

Capt Dave reports a good day on the Viking Star. Porgies bit well and they were mostly medium to large size with pretty much everyone retaining their limit. The Sea Bass weren’t chewing like yesterday so it was tougher. Everyone managed a few though. There were also about a 1/2 dozen Cod. The first place […]

Capt Dave reports a good day of fishing today on the Viking Star. We had a nice variety of fish today with the SeaBass still biting their heads off. We started our morning closer to the island and everyone managed to get a bucket of Porgies most medium to large no jumbos today. The SeaBass […]

The Cod fish pool winner went to Gelu Pislaru from Hopatcong NY with an 8 lb pounder! The SeaBass pool winner went Tony Yon from Flushing NY with a 5 lb fish! Report to follow.

Capt JR reports a decent day of fishing on the Viking Starship. We had a pick of sea bass and porgies everywhere we fished. A few drops we were able to sit and get some good shots of big porgies. Most drops had pretty good shots of sea bass as well. Just a few cod […]

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. […]

Capt JR reports a very good day on the Viking Starship. We had solid Sea Bass and Porgy fishing all day with double headers of both a common sight. In addition to the Sea Bass and Porgy action we had a good pick of Cod Pollock and Ling to round out the catch. The fishing […]

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. […]

The Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencil has been  the hot plug in the last week The good times just keep rolling for me with big numbers of slots on just about a nightly basis.  The hottest plug of the week has been a Yo-Zuri Hydro Pencil in a white color.  This looks like a Jumpin' Minnow on steroids.  It casts great into the wind and has a swagger on the ret...

Here's a slot that was landed this afternoon on a Slug go. Fishing for slots has been very good. The water is cold the air is cold and there should not be big numbers of fish around RI waters.  But they are here and the biggest surprise of the spring is the abundant numbers of slot fish along both the oceanfront and in the Bay.  I can't remember...
