Captain Carl reports an EXCELLENT night of Squid Fishing on the Viking Starlite! As soon as we anchored up we started picking away at the squid and as the night progressed it just got better and better! Lots of big giant squid. They are here NOW so come and get them! We sail every night […]

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. Conditions were beautiful today and we saw a lot of action with some really nice sized Porgies and a few nice sized SeaBass. We did […]

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 […]

See below!   Full Day Block Island Jumbo Porgies and Knothead Black Sea Bass! Sailing DAILY on the 144Ft Viking Starship at 5AM and returning at […]

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   The pool winner was Aleks Korochik from Long Island NY with a 2.1 lb Porgy.
