Capt JR reports a good day of catching onboard the Viking Star. The morning Blackfish bite was not bad at all with many guys easily getting a limit with some beauties coming over the rail. Sea bass fishing was also good and everyone had a very nice looking catch at the end of the day. […]

Capt Dave reports a pretty solid day on the Viking Starship. The full moon tide was running hard making the conditions tougher than we have been seeing. We had more Porgies than Sea Bass which has not been the case all week. The fish were on the smaller today but everyone managed their limits. The […]

Capt Dave reports excellent fishing on the Viking Starship. No one had a problem filling their cooler quickly today! We had quality big Porgies & Sea Bass everywhere we went. It was a real mixed bag with some Blues Green Bonita and Blackfish adding to the catch. Fortunately there were no dogfish today. The pool […]

Here are just a couple of Frank's books. He was a prolific big striper hunter writer and lecturer. He had a profound affect on surf  fishing for striped bass that carries on to this day. It is with sadness that I report the passing of Frank Daignault a legend and pioneer of saltwater surf fishing.   Frank was someone who many consider the “Godfa...

Capt Dave reports good fishing on the Viking Starship today. It was a tough start this morning with dogfish around. As the day went on the dogfish let up and we ended up having a mix of Porgies and a lot of Sea Bass. Later on we found the Porgies better still with Sea Bass […]

Capt Dave reports a tough day on the Viking Starship. We had to hide from the weather first thing this morning. Inside we found a lot of small Sea Bass and some Porgies. When we were able to get into the deeper water it was a mix of Porgies Sea Bass and dogfish offshore. We […]

Captain JR reports a WINDY day on the Viking Star! Conditions were definitely a bit challenging but we started with a decent catch of Sea Bass and a few jumbo Scup in the deeper water. The inshore Blackfish grounds were good to some with a couple guys getting a limit but conditions again made it […]

This was Charlestown Breachway late in the day this afternoon.  Not a  soul there not a soul along the beach. That says it all. Suddenly the striper fishing along the oceanfront has gone downhill.  The last couple of days have not been good for me or good for anyone I know. So this all begs the questions: Are we just in a a late season lull or is...

Report to follow.

There has been a glut of schoolies along the RI oceanfront in the last couple of weeks. Here is one of many that I landed this afternoon. All year I have been writing on this blog about the lack of schoolies. The poor Young of the Year Indexes from Chesapeake Bay a barometer of spawning success has been poor in the last five years. That has fuel...

Captain JR reports another fine day of Coxes Ledge fishing aboard the Viking Star. The sea bass fishing is still red hot with jumbo knot heads for everyone.

Here's a slot fish coming ashore with my Albie Snax in its mouth. The striper fishing has taken a dramatic turn for the better for me in June. The sandeel arrival has brought big numbers of stripers to the oceanfront.  The whole month has been productive but the climax was a couple of days ago when I hit one of the biggest blitzes I have ever se...
