Capt Dave reports a tough day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. This mornings conditions were rough with strong wind and high seas making it tough to fish in some of our usual spots.

Saturday night we had 2 boats sail for Squid to accommodate all of our anglers and Captain Steven Sr reports that the Viking Star saw a great first half of the trip with lots of big Squid and an “ink fest” all around the boat. Eventually things slowed down but the guys and girls who […]

This was the hot ticket in the last two days when stripers were feeding on peanut bunker. The glut of small stripers continues unabated.  I hit a massive blitz of them today.  There seemed to be fish everywhere in front of me as big schools of stripers had peanut bunker pinned up against the shore.  Birds everywhere fish busting and frenzied bai...

I landed this hefty schoolie today on a bucktail jig. There have been big numbers of small bass in the last few days along the oceanfront. The good times are rolling at the RI oceanfront with the migration is full swing.  This week we've seen tons of small bait mostly bay anchovies that are a half to an inch long.  In places their masses have tu...

Capt Dave reports that fishing today was crazy good!! It was Sea Bass galore today. The first spot was either BIG Sea Bass or tiny Porgies so we filled up on Sea Bass and headed off to find the Porgies. In the deeper water we found a slow pick of Jumbo and Large Porgies with […]

Captain Carl reports EXCELLENT Squid fishing again on the Viking Starlite. As soon as we anchored up. JUMBO Squid were flying and inking all around the boat with many many double headers!

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...
