Capt Dave reports excellent fishing today on the Viking Starship. We started off up close to Block Island this morning making some nice long drifts picking away some medium to large sized Porgies. We didn’t really say anything jumbo today but it was steady picking. There were a lot of little SeaBas in the mix […]

Captain Dave reports a pretty alright day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. We pretty much spent are day fishing up close to the island making drift after drift.

Captain Carl reports another EXCELLENT 1/2 Day Jigging Trip on the Viking Star! We had Rod Bending Action with Striped Bass all morning! We had an easy boat limit of slot sized Stripers and we threw back a ton as well making for some arm-weary anglers! Stephen Talmage from East Hampton NY took the pool […]

Capt Joe reports a decent night of squid jigging on the Viking Starlite. The night started off pretty strong in shallow water and then the tide started to slack off and we lost the bite. We ended up making a move out into the deeper water and found a slow but steady pick to finish […]

Capt Steven Sr. reports a productive day of fishing today on the Viking Star. We ventured off to Block Island to target anything that would bite! We worked around some of Captain Steven’s secrets spots which brought one some nice action between Porgies SeaBass and even some nice Trigger fish in the mix. There were […]

Capt Dave reports a tough day of fishing on the Viking Starship today. This mornings swell with the full moon tide made more difficult fishing conditions for our first few hours. The fish were definitely there and biting but it was hard to get on them. Once the tide eased down midway through the trip […]

Captain Carl reports a RED HOT night aboard the Viking Starship on our Hunters Moon Bass Bonanza! We didn’t have to do much hunting. There are literally miles and miles of Striped Bass in Montauk right now! The Fall Run is in FULL SWING! We had an easy limit of slot sized Bass and released […]

Good size stripers were on the prowl in recent days. The float and fly was the ticket. It's been a wild couple of days for me as I have been chasing down big blitzes of fish.  Both stripers and bonito (yes they are still around!)  are feeding on huge schools of small bay anchovies that are sometimes less than an inch in size. What has been bizar...

Capt Dave reports a decent day of fishing on the Viking STARSHIP. With the strong tides roaring from the Hunter’s Full Moon we started our morning offshore in the deeper water and got onto a decent pile of SeaBass. Unfortunately we didn’t see much Porgy action out here but we pick away at some nice […]

Capt Dave reports a difficult day on the Viking Superstar. It was a good first drop but it didn’t last as long as usual. The Porgies were there and there were a lot of little Sea Bass. The full moon tide began raging so we moved around trying a few spots. Conditions were pretty rough […]

Capt Dave reports excellent fishing today on the Viking Star. We hugged close up to the island first thing this morning and had some great action with medium to jumbo Porgies keeping rods bent all day. We had a bit of a ground swell throughout the day but it didn’t seem to affect the bite. […]

The striper fishing has gone from red hot to ice cold in a matter of days. On Friday I hit one of the biggest blitzes of fish that I have seen in years.  At one point a school of fish in front of me was bigger than the size of a football field. It was a wild scene with fish breaking birds diving and bait flying out all over the place.  It was all...

Capt Dave reports a very good day of fishing today on the Viking Star. Block Island Porgy fishing was certainly back today we got in close to the island first thing this morning and dropped anchor for almost 3 hours. We picked away at some really nice medium and large sized porgies pretty much non-stop […]

Captain Justin reports another slow yet steady night of jigging on the Viking Starlite. Our night began strong out in the deeper waters with a lot more action early on. But as the evening progressed schools of Bluefish arrived which seemed to have startled the Squid to finish off the night with a slow pick. […]

Capt JR reports a slower day with the windy conditions. In the morning we had a charter and had some Porgies and Sea Bass. This afternoon was a slow pick only turning up some keeper Sea Bass. There was no pool this afternoon. We will be sailing Sunday and Monday at 8AM & 1PM. These […]

Capt Dave reports another tough day of fishing on the Viking Star. The conditions today were pretty similar today as they were yesterday so we started our morning tucked in close to the island to try to stay out of the wind and had a decent pick to start. It was mostly little SeaBass in […]

The float and fly was super effective today because the stripers were feeding on small bay anchovies. Today was the best day of fishing for me this year! I hit a massive blitz of stripers that were feeding on small bay anchovies.  This is a slender baitfish that is super hard to imitate but I have a trick up my sleeve for when this happens. Whil...

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 […]

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 […]

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 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 […]
