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 […]

Capt Carl reports another very very good night on the Squid Boat! We started catching them as soon as we anchored up. For the first half of the trip it was good for some anglers but not so good for others. The guys who were dialed in caught steadily. So as the night progressed and […]

And I found big numbers of fish today. They are not in all the locations along the south shore but with a little looking you might just find a blitz underway.  The fish are really on the move!

Capt Dave reports an excellent day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. Fishing was red hot today probably some of the best fishing we’ve had in a while. A whole new body of fish seemed to have moved in today with non-stop action biting at all tides. We hugged in close to the island […]

Capt JR reports another solid day of sea bass fishing on the Viking Star. We tried some new areas and found lots of hungry XL Sea Bass waiting for us. There were also a few Cod in the mix to spice up the drops. Blackfishing today was definitely a huge improvement overall with lots of […]

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...
