Capt JR reports a pretty good catch onboard the Viking Star today. We started out Sea Bass fishing and had a good pick most of the morning with a few drops having a healthy showing of knot head biscuits. The inshore Blackfish bite was a bit off but the tog sharpies had a few a […]

I landed this 30 inch striper last night after dark.  I have been getting some decent fish lately at night and all the action has come on the Slug-go.

Chub mackerel have been around in good numbers this week.  I've caught good numbers on a  3-inch NLBN paddle tail. Although we usually see these fish in September the chub mackerel are staging a late season show.  They have been around the oceanfront this week in good numbers. It's the first time I have seen them this year. These are easily reco...

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.

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...
