Capt Carl reports a Solid Night on the Squid grounds yet again! We picked away all night with some flurries of good action and GIANT KRAKEN SIZE MONTAUK SQUID! There were also some lulls in the action but then it would pick right back up. We also saw about a dozen whiting! Looking ahead Friday […]

Last week I hit some great fishing but the last two outings have been poor.  Things change fast at this time of year and what was around a week ago is often not around a few days later.  The last two days have produced exactly one schoolie and one hickory shad in a number of places fished.  There are also other signs that the fishing is nearing t...

Capt Joe reports a slow but steady pick on the Starlite. It was definitely better for some than others last night with a few big ones in the mix. We are still seeing life  out there so we will be giving it another shot Monday night with the nice weather forecasted. There are still Montauk […]

Albie Snax rigged with BKK Titan Rider hook  I busted out of my November doldrums today in a big way.  I had good numbers of stripers along with my biggest fish of the last month.  I just knew this northeaster would produce because this type of weather was so good in the past at this time of year.  My big surprise of this rainy day was a 40+ inch...

Capt Dave reports good fishing on the Viking Starship. There was a good shot of Porgies and Sea Bass first thing then the slack water gave us a slow pick of mostly Porgies. The flood tide picked up and everything started biting well again. We also had  about a dozen Cod. Today we had good […]

Capt JR reports a good day of fishing onboard the Viking Star. We started out on the Sea Bass grounds and had EXCELLENT fishing.

Capt JR reports another fine day of catching out at Coxes Ledge onboard the Viking Star. The Sea Bass fishing continues to be red hot with everyone having their limit of jumbo knot head bass. We did have a few more Cod today with some nice green ones in the mix. We also had a […]

Capt Dave reports great fishing today on the Viking Starship. We started off on a wreck and had big beautiful Sea Bass and nice size Porgies. There was real quality there. When it slowed down we moved around looking for a good spot. There were plenty of bites with smaller fish. We finally ended up […]

The fishing along the RI oceanfront continues to be poor. Those abundant schoolies along with the bait we had earlier in the month have moved on. Now it's a matter of waiting to see if another bunch of fish moves through. Yesterday was the first time in a long long time that I got totally skunked.  Not a fish not a hit and saw nothing! I fished a...

Captain Dave report another great day of Porgy fishing on the Viking Starship today. We saw a lot of action today between Porgies and SeaBass with some beautiful size to each. We had pretty equal showings of Porgies and SeaBass at each drop neither really biting more than the other. We also had a bunch […]

The SQUID ARE STILL HERE! *** NEW TRIP ADDED*** Captain Carl was very happy to report that the Giant Montauk Squid are still here! We’ve had quite a few days of stiff winds keeping us away from the Squid Grounds but we did sail Saturday night and it was still windy but we did see […]

Capt Dave reports a very good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. It was good consistent fishing from start to finish today with fish at every drop. We did make about 3-4 drops today. We definitely saw an influx of Seabass today with more anglers pulling up keeper SeaBass than Porgies. We had […]

Capt JR reports a good day of catching onboard the Viking Star. The morning Blackfish bite was not bad at all with many guys easily getting a limit with some beauties coming over the rail. Sea bass fishing was also good and everyone had a very nice looking catch at the end of the day. […]

Capt Dave reports a pretty solid day on the Viking Starship. The full moon tide was running hard making the conditions tougher than we have been seeing. We had more Porgies than Sea Bass which has not been the case all week. The fish were on the smaller today but everyone managed their limits. The […]

Capt Dave reports excellent fishing on the Viking Starship. No one had a problem filling their cooler quickly today! We had quality big Porgies & Sea Bass everywhere we went. It was a real mixed bag with some Blues Green Bonita and Blackfish adding to the catch. Fortunately there were no dogfish today. The pool […]

Here are just a couple of Frank's books. He was a prolific big striper hunter writer and lecturer. He had a profound affect on surf  fishing for striped bass that carries on to this day. It is with sadness that I report the passing of Frank Daignault a legend and pioneer of saltwater surf fishing.   Frank was someone who many consider the “Godfa...

Capt JR reports another good Coxes Ledge trip onboard the Viking Star. The Sea Bass fishing was again excellent with everyone having their pick of giant knot heads. We found only a few Cod today but seeing more every trip. There was also some nice Cunners a few big Scup and a few Ling around […]
