It was one lone striper last evening along with a bluefish.  Fishing has improved slightly though it is still way off for this time of year. The poor shore striper fishing from the summer continues but there has been a slight improvement in the last couple of days.  I'm beginning to see some small schools of bait along the oceanfront something I...

Capt Dave reports an excellent day on the Viking Starship. We started out anchored east of the lighthouse fishing the rock piles. Fishing for Porgies was as good as it gets with double and triple headers! Once the tide started running fishing slowed down on the anchor so we put in a couple drifts but […]

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 […]

Capt Dave reports another pretty good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. We started our morning down the beach to get out of the new moon tide and had some pretty good action with a steady pick of mixed sized Porgies. We worked this area for a couple hours before venturing offshore and […]

Another Sunday on the ocean with lots of whales!   We keep finding whales! Sunday September 1 2024 was no exception. The weather was a bit cloudy but we had a full vessel and we headed out. Early on shortly after we pass by the lighthouse we encountered a small group of Tamenend’s bottlenose dolphins. […]

Capt Mike reports another good afternoon of fishing on the Viking Star. We started the afternoon off with a couple nice drifts with big Sea bass and Porgies.   Things slowed mid trip as the tide slaked off but it did begin to pick up again towards the end as we finished off with some […]

Captain JR reports a good day on the Viking Starlite. It would have been an awesome day but the sea bass fishing was so good it hindered our fluke hunt. Excellent and nonstop sea bass fishing EVERYWHERE. The bait wasn’t on the hooks long enough to give the fluke a chance to bite. But couldn’t […]

Capt Dave reports an excellent day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. Conditions weren’t the best with the strong New Moon tide ripping but fishing was just fine. We started our morning down the beach Porgy fishing and has some good action with mixed sized fish. As the tide started coming in heavy we […]

Capt Mike reports a very good morning of fishing on the Viking Star. Fishing started off hot from the get-go with a mixed bag of jumbo Porgies Sea bass and several keeper Fluke in the buckets. As the trip carried on we lost the tide and the short Sea bass took over catching plenty of […]

For the last trip of August the whales (and waves) had us working a bit harder than usual reminding us of the changing seasons and the fortunes previously bestowed upon us throughout this summer. We headed south towards the general area where the humpbacks have previously been encountered but there were no whales to be […]

Labor Day weekend is here and there are sure to be a lot of fishermen out and about along the oceanfront. If you are fishing from shore the outlook is poor.  From a boat you have a much better chance at finding something although that action is also slow. We are coming off the worst year of striper fishing in the summer from shore in DECADES here...

Capt JR reports a decent afternoon onboard the Viking Star. We had similar fishing to what we had this morning with good action for most the trip. Sea bass Porgies and Fluke kept anglers busy and we definitely had a few keeper Fluke to toss in the buckets.The pool winner was Tate Ghatak from Jersey […]

Capt. Dave reports a gorgeous day out on the water today with excellent conditions. We had excellent Porgy fishing this morning over by the Lighthouse with some Fluke and Blue Fish mixed in. We had plenty of fish in all sizes and we had to pick through the smaller fish to get the nice size […]

Capt. Carl reports another great afternoon of weather and fishing! It was another action packed afternoon keeping all anglers busy filling their buckets with Giant Porgies Beautiful Black Sea Bass and a couple nice KEEPER Flukes as well. Great fun and fresh fish for everyone! The pool winner went to Robert Rosenthal from Mount Kisco […]

Capt Dave reports a very productive day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. We started our morning off with an anchor drop off the lighthouse Porgy fishing was excellent to start and we were able to work this area for an hour or so before making a move as the smaller fish rolled in. […]

Captain Carl reports beautiful weather and excellent fishing on this mornings half day trip! We had all the usual suspects of Giant Porgies Knothead Sea Bass and quite a few KEEPER Flukes filling our anglers buckets! The action was solid and everyone onboard is going home with fresh fish for dinner! The first prize pool […]

Summer may be winding down but the thrill of a CRESLI/Viking whale watch is certainly not! What a day we had yesterday on the Viking Starship: it began with a small group of Tamanend’s bottlenose dolphins swimming close to shore. We spent a bit of time with them ensuring everyone had a good look before […]
