Capt Mike reports a decent morning of mixed bag fishing on the Viking Star. This morning started off steady catching a mix of Porgy and SeaBass. We had a few nice keeper Fluke early as well. The bite tapered off a bit when the wind pick up. We also got the opportunity to see a […]

Capt Mike reports a good afternoon on the Viking Star. The trip started off hot with big Sea Bass and keeper Fluke. The wind picked up mid trip and limited where we could fish so we had a nice amount of fish in the buckets early. The pool winner was Henry McIntosh from NYC with […]

Capt Dave reports a tough trip on the Viking Starship. The tide was running hard so we had to travel around a lot. When we got to the Porgies they were biting good and the size was decent. It was a mix of smalls to jumbos and not many throwbacks. Sea Bass was definitely slow. […]

Capt Mike reports another excellent mixed bag morning bite on the Viking Star. We had buckets full of jumbo Porgies with SeaBass mixed in. We had a couple nice keeper Fluke as well. Overall this afternoon had nice steady action all trip. The first prize pool winner went Pete Ball from Putnam Valley NY with […]

Yesterday’s heat wave and the gridlock in the Hamptons may have put a damper on things on land but our time at sea was INCREDIBLE! While we expected to transit an hour or so to reach the whales our trip was ‘interrupted’ by sightings of Tamanend’s bottlenose dolphins and close-up views of a scalloped hammerhead […]

Capt Dave reports a good day of fishing on the Viking Starship. Porgy fishing was excellent by the lighthouse. We anchored up on a nicer spot today and found better size fish. We changed up the Sea Bass drop today and drifted in deeper water. There weren’t tons of bites but we did have very […]

Capt Mike reports a good trip on the Viking Star. The conditions limited where we could fish this morning but we had pretty good action on a couple drifts with Porgies and some nice keeper Sea Bass. It was a fun trip nevertheless.

It was the surprise of the evening. I landed this monster blue while casting for stripers. It was a loner the only fish of the evening. It fell for a bucktail jig with a pink jig strip.

Capt JR reports a very breezy afternoon of catching on the Viking Star. A stiff wind made us hide in some more sheltered waters. However we found some quality KEEPER Fluke and ended up having a pretty good trip. Some real quality stuff in the buckets. Sailing daily at 8AM & 1PM. vikingfleet.com

Capt Dave reports a good day on the Viking Starship. It was excellent Porgy fishing by the lighthouse. We anchored up and found mixed size fish and had our limit with one drop. Sea Bass fishing was just fine with everyone retaining their limit. We also found Ling Whiting and plenty of Mackerel. The pool […]

Captain JR reports a good morning of fishing onboard the Viking Star. We had a nice pick of fluke sea bass and porgies all trip. Despite the windy conditions we scooped up a very nice variety of KEEPER sized fluke to top off our buckets. Everyone has fish for dinner! The pool winner was Alexander […]

Although the whales are still around Mother Nature had other plans in store for yesterday’s trip. It was raining most of the morning and when we left the dock but reports indicated a clearing shortly after our departure time. We headed towards the area where we have previously encountered large numbers of humpbacks and other […]

Another spectacular day among whales. The visibility was unlimited and we saw whales from five nautical miles away. We saw picket fences of whale blows all across the horizon. When we got to the whales we spent time with trios (mom calf escort) as well as many associated pairs. There were easily 30 humpback whales […]

Capt Dave reports a tougher day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. The weather was not great today so it did make for rougher conditions for some passengers aboard today. We anchored off the lighthouse first thing this morning and had a decent shot of mixed sized Porgies with some good size to a […]

Capt JR reports a solid day of fishing today off Block Island on the Viking Starlite! The SeaBass bite was a little off this morning but most anglers did find their limit with some really nice size to the fish today. The Fluke fishing definitely continued to be quite good with lots of fishing coming […]

Capt Dave reports another excellent day of fishing today on the Viking Star. The Porgies we’re really biting today with fish from medium to jumbo in just about every spot we hit. SeaBass fishing was on the slower side with the Porgies really biting their heads off making it hard to target the SeaBass. The […]

The fish is in one hand and the white Slug-go is in the other. Slug-gos were my best lures on this day.  I changed tactics this week as I headed north to come cooler water in the hopes of finding more fish.  I did find some in cloudy and drizzly conditions.  I knew from past years that those stormy days tend to perk up the fishing in the dead of s...

The NLBN 5 inch paddle tail has been a good lure for me this week and has  caught most of my fish. This slot fish was landed in some very rough churned  up water. There was an uptick in the fishing this week.  While the numbers of stripers is still dreadfully down for shore fishermen in RI I was able to come up with at least some fish on every o...

I landed this 20 lb. carp this morning. The carp  fishing has been as hot as the weather in the  last few days.  Well the weather is certainly hot.  Wish I could say the same for the striper fishing. However I do know a fish that just loves this hot weather and is hitting well right now.  Carp have always been my ace in the hole that can bend a ro...

I fished the last couple of evenings along the oceanfront in some great water.  Last evening the waves were rolling in with white water as far as I could see at times. The water was clean the wind was manageable and there was lots of current and surge.  It was ideal conditions in the spot I was fishing. If this were any other year (in recent memo...

Capt Dave reports a pretty good day of fishing this Labor Day Monday on the Viking Starship. We started our morning off down the beach to get out of that New Moon tide and had some good action for about an hour. We moved on back to the lighthouse and had a nice mix both […]

Capt Mike reports a very nice morning of fishing on the Viking Starlite. The trip started off with a steady Porgy and Sea bass bite. We saw a lot of Porgies in the jumbo size. We did manage a couple keeper Fluke this morning although their seemed to be more short Fluke than keepers today. […]

Capt JR reports a very good day of catching onboard the Viking Starlite. We had spectacular sea bass fishing with a plethora of giant knot head bass everywhere we went. The fluking was also much improved as we found some very nice specimens to keep the nets busy. All happy anglers today! The pool winner […]

Capt Mike reports a lot of action this morning on the Viking Star. With a large capacity of kids aboard we saw plenty of children catching fish! We had a nice Fluke bite early with about a half dozen in the bucket right off the bat. As the trip continued we found a steady pick […]
