Capt Dave reports a pretty decent day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. We headed to the east right off the bat this morning and had some issues with the tide. That strong full moon tide was running hard and seemed to bring back in the small SeaBass as we had to pick through […]

This trip was a gift. The weather was warm like a summer’s day but with Labor Day two weeks behind us it felt better than usual. The mood on board was sweet and grateful. We found dolphins (Tamanend’s bottlenose) early and then spent time with two juvenile humpback whales within a few miles from shore. […]

Captain Carl reports another slower night on the Bass boat. We caught and released a couple GIANT Striped Bass in the 30-50 lb range and a few Blues showing definite signs of the Fall Run beginning. We are gonna give it another go tonight! The pool winner went to Doug Keller from Southampton NY.

Captain JR reports a slight improvement in the local bass action. We had a few very nice stripers that were unfortunately much too big to keep. Also a few nice blues to bend the rods. Definitely not a slammer trip but a positive sign for the rapidly approaching fall run.

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 […]
