Captain JR reports a bit of a tough day for the Coxes trip onboard the Viking Star. We pushed pretty far offshore to try and find a quality late season bite. A few spots had some pretty good action with big sea bass cod and ling. However it definitely wasn’t the lock and load fishing […]

Captain JR reports a pretty good trip out to the wrecks onboard the Viking Starship. We had no problem hitting a few spots that had lots of big knot head sea bass but the cod bite was a little off from what we usually see on these trips. However we picked away all day and […]

Capt Dave reports a slower day on the Viking Star. We fished a wreck first thing and had nice keeper Sea Bass. Then we headed off to the east and had good action on the hard bottom but there were mostly small Sea Bass. There were plenty of Bergalls 1 Cod and a few Porgies […]

Capt JR reports a very productive day onboard the Viking Star. We had no problem finding the jumbo Knothead Sea Bass with everyone easily getting a limit. We also found some nicer Cod everywhere we went with Ling giant Scup and a few Pollock topping off the catch. Solid day all around. The Cod pool […]

Capt Dave reports a slow day on the Viking Starship. We looked around at a lot of spots but unfortunately they really weren’t chewing today. There were a handful of Porgies a handful of good Sea Bass with a bunch of small mixed in a few Cod and a lot of Bergalls. The pool winner […]

It was a very good year for Slot Stripers. These were our bright spot.  It's that time of year.  The season has ended and the teacher in me is about to grade the season. The catch word for the entire season has been inconsistent. I can't remember a season that has had so many ups and downs. The bait situation was also inconsistent with less peanut...

Capt Dave reports a good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. Today’s action seemed to favor more towards the SeaBass with most anglers having their limit of some nice keeper sized fish. The Porgy bite was ok they were around just not really chewing but we manged some decent Scup on the boat. […]

Capt Dave reports a decent day of fishing on the Viking Starship. Sea Bass fishing was excellent. There were plenty and they were nice size. The Porgy fishing was tough. Everyone only managed a handful. Maybe when it calms down they will chew better. We also had a dozen Cod for the light crowd we […]

Capt Dave reports a good day on the Viking Starship. We started off inside of the island. It was straight Sea Bass of mixed size everything from small to large. We made a move and found more Sea Bass. Then we moved a bit more to the east and found the Porgies there. There were […]

Captain JR reports a fair day of fishing onboard the Viking Star. We had to do a little looking around as we haven’t been out to the ledge in about a week but it wasn’t half bad. We easily got a very nice limit of nice knot head sea bass and also a good showing […]

Capt Dave reports a very good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. Today was an all around mixed pick at just about every drop we saw equal amounts of both Porgies and SeaBass both on the larger side. We also had Blue fish Mackerell and Green Bonita on the boat as well today. […]

Captain Carl reports that the weatherman got it wrong last night. The wind was blowing hard from the NW making very uncomfortable and unpleasant conditions. Yes we did still catch some squid but we had to call the trip early and give everyone credit towards future fishing trips. Tonight has the same weather forecast up […]

My season ended today.  I fished long and hard in a number of good late season locations and came up completely empty. In the last  four outings I've landed exactly one small schoolie and one hickory shad. There was a time not too long ago that I would catch good numbers of stripers even some bluefish from Thanksgiving to December 1. Not this yea...

Capt Dave reports an okay day on the Viking Starship despite the weather. We had tough wind conditions and the bite was off. It was hard to feel them biting but what we did catch was very good size. We also had about a dozen Cod up to 12 lbs. The first place pool winner […]

Capt Joe reports a consistent squid pick last night. A lot of bigger sized tubes coming up with a good showing of mackerel making their way into the buckets. The tough weather made it difficult for some anglers to stick it out at the rail but those who did were rewarded with sea krakens. We […]

Capt Steven Jr reports that the Fall Harvest continues on the Viking Fivestar!!! We have had excellent fishing on both our Block Island trips and our 30-50 mile Wreck trips. Plenty of Seabass for everyone and the quality Blackfish are starting to chew! We have limited opening on trips in December so book now and […]

As the sun sets on another striper season here in RI I want to wish all my loyal readers and their  families a Happy Thanksgiving. We live in a beautiful state with some great fishing!

Capt Dave reports a good day of fishing on the Viking Starship. It was a mixed bag of Porgies & Sea Bass with all pretty much good size stuff. We also had about 8 Cod up to 12 lbs. The pool winner was Tommy Liu from Staten Island NY with a 2 1/2 lb Porgy. […]

Blackfish Pool – Mike Jung – Point Lookout NY – 8 lbs Sea Bass Pool – James Harris – Hillside NJ – 5 lbs Unfortunately the Viking Star is cancelled Friday Saturday and Sunday due to maintenance required.

Capt JR reports a good day of fishing on the mighty Viking Star. The weather was a little crappy but we found plenty of big Sea Bass waiting for us at Coxes Ledge. Everyone had no problem getting their limit of knot heads and we also had a few very healthy Cod in the mix. […]
