Here's one taken from the kayak last evening. There has been a big uptick in activity the last few days.  Fishing is improving.  Just maybe a fall run is underway.  We'll see if it continues. Here's what's been happening in the last few days: *Out in the kayak in the Bay I've landed 16 fish a combination of stripers and blues.  I saw a lot of bait...

Another trifecta trip (humpback whales minke whales and Tamanend’s bottlenose dolphins!   On this somber day in the back of our minds were the friends schoolmates neighbors first responders and the endless  work of volunteers clearing those hallowed grounds at the World Trade Center the Pentagon and Shanksville PA. On this day as a way […]

Captain JR reports a tougher trip onboard the Viking Star. We put some serious miles under the keel as we cased some water way down to the south end of our string…. However we only found a few yellow fin we loaded up on Mahi during our journey down there. We bailed out of the […]

I'm back in the kayak and it was a great move. Found the bait and found the fish. Landed good numbers of stripers and blues.

Capt Dave reports a good day on the Viking Starship. We started out anchored east of the point and found large Porgies with Sea Bass mixed in. Once the tide ran hard we headed further east and had very good fishing but smaller Porgies. Anglers were pulling in double and triple headers. We got a […]

There are some bonito around but it is a hit or miss deal.  I landed this one yesterday from shore.  I'm being generous when I say the shore fishing here in RI is mediocre.  Compared to other years at this time it is way off. In the last three days/evenings of fishing for me I've landed a grand total of three schoolies and one small bonito.  The...

Capt Steven Sr reports a decent day on the Viking Starlite. The Block Island Fluke are still elusive but we did manage some keepers and a bunch of shorts. Sea Bass were abundant in all sizes. We will be sailing on Sunday for this trip. Look for additional trips to be added to the schedule […]

Capt Dave reports an excellent trip on the Viking Starship. We started out east of the lighthouse and had our best fishing of the day first thing. There were mostly large Porgies with keeper Sea Bass in the mix. When the tide started running hard we moved under the lighthouse and had great action with […]

Capt Dave reports the best fishing we have seen in awhile on the Viking Starship! It was a great day with size and action. There was a really good pick of all LARGE Porgies with mixed size Sea Bass to start. We fished one area all day getting in a few drifts when the tide […]

Capt Dave reports another pretty decent day of fishing today. We started off today just east of the lighthouse kind of in the area we left off yesterday we had some pretty good action here with mixed sizes of Porgies a handful of keeper SeaBass 3-4 keeper Fluke and some little Blue fish. We eventually […]

It was a beautiful crisp day to search for whales and dolphins. Although we originally planned to head offshore our plans were interrupted by a blow belonging to a juvenile humpback whale not far from shore beyond the lighthouse. While waiting for this individual to surface two additional blows were spotted and we were suddenly […]

Sun Sept 8 – 1/2 Day Fishing PM Capt Carl reports a slower afternoon on our 1/2 day trip. The water got dirty the wind came up and the bite was tough. We still managed some Fluke Sea Bass and Porgies to keep for our anglers but it was slower then the morning. There was […]

Capt Dave reports another pretty good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. We started our morning off around the lighthouse and had a pretty tough go of it with not much of a bite. We decide to do some searching and ended up to the east of the lighthouse and got onto a […]

Capt Carl reports another delightful afternoon of fishing on the Viking Star! The Fluke bite was very good with steady action all afternoon and quite a few FINE specimens making it into our anglers buckets around the boat along with a few Black Sea Bass. The pool winner was Steven Mitrani from NY with a […]

Capt Steven Sr reports a tough day on the Viking Starlite. Conditions were not great but we did have luck with the Sea Bass and Porgies. There were only had a couple of keeper Fluke and some shorts. Due to the forecast for tomorrow we are cancelling the Fluke & Sea Bass trip but there […]

Capt Dave reports a pretty good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. We started our morning in one of our usual spots down the beach and didn’t have as much action as we’ve been seeing so we moved offshore after a short while. Once we got into that midway spot between Block Island […]

Captain Carl reports a FINE morning of 1/2 Day fishing aboard the Viking Star! Despite the easterly ground swell and light NE wind the fish were snapping! The Fluke bite was very good with many KEEPER Fluke making it into the buckets mixed in with some Big Black Sea Bass and a smattering of Porgies! […]

Capt Dave reports a much improved day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. We started off this morning just south of the lighthouse and had a good bite but the rougher conditions made for difficult fishing. We had lots of actions with medium sized Porgies but ended up making our move halfway to Block […]

Whales nearshore and offshore. Our incredible season continues!   What a day we had. The seas were flat sun was bright and the temperatures were comfortably cool. Our 1st humpback named Chive who we’d not seen in 2 years was breached within about 60 feet of our bow and was within 5 miles of […]

Mon Sept 2 to Thurs Sept 5 – 3 Day TNT Ultra LTD Captain JR reports a very successful 3 day TNT trip on the Viking Star. We got a late start on day one with some very inconvenient NE breeze keeping us concentrated on the tunas for most of the day. But we made […]

It's the first one from the oceanfront for me this year. Expect good numbers of them in the coming week. I landed my first striper of the year from the oceanfront today a fish I would call a scout.  In striper fishing lingo a scout is one of the early arrivals that makes it's way ahead of the main body of fish.  I suspect this was a scout becaus...
