I landed this hefty schoolie today on a bucktail jig. There have been big numbers of small bass in the last few days along the oceanfront. The good times are rolling at the RI oceanfront with the migration is full swing.  This week we've seen tons of small bait mostly bay anchovies that are a half to an inch long.  In places their masses have tu...

Capt Dave reports that fishing today was crazy good!! It was Sea Bass galore today. The first spot was either BIG Sea Bass or tiny Porgies so we filled up on Sea Bass and headed off to find the Porgies. In the deeper water we found a slow pick of Jumbo and Large Porgies with […]

Capt JR reports a banner day on the Viking Star. We had excellent fishing with lots of jumbo Knothead Sea Bass. There was also a much improved showing of nice green Cod in all the areas we fished. The catch was topped off with a good sprinkling of big angry Coxes Ledge Scup. The ledge […]

Capt Dave reports a productive day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. Today proved to be a slow and steady kind of day fishing never got red hot but the pick remained consistent throughout each drift. We started our morning close to Block Island and picked away at some bigger sized Porgies between medium […]

Captain JR reports a good day onboard the Viking Star. The first portion of the trip was definitely good with lots of nice togs coming over the rail. As the day progressed the conditions deteriorated a lot and the fishing definitely slowed to a pick. Not too bad overall though most guys had an easy […]

Captain Carl reports EXCELLENT Squid fishing again on the Viking Starlite. As soon as we anchored up. JUMBO Squid were flying and inking all around the boat with many many double headers! This savage bite lasted for a couple of hours and some anglers filled 5 gallon buckets in this time! The bite eventually slowed […]

Captain JR reports a very good start to our 2024 coxes ledge trips on the Viking Star. We had to do some scouting around but found some excellent knot head sea bass fishing. There were also some GIANT Scup in the mix to round out the catch. Only a few Cod onboard today but that […]

Capt Joe reports a tougher start to  last nights trip on the Viking Star. However everyone who managed to stick it out ended up getting on some really good action by the end of the trip. Our last hour was pretty much lock and load Squid fishing with some quality size tubes coming up. Most […]

I landed this 30 inch striper last night after dark.  I have been getting some decent fish lately at night and all the action has come on the Slug-go.

Chub mackerel have been around in good numbers this week.  I've caught good numbers on a  3-inch NLBN paddle tail. Although we usually see these fish in September the chub mackerel are staging a late season show.  They have been around the oceanfront this week in good numbers. It's the first time I have seen them this year. These are easily reco...

Capt Dave reports a good day of fishing on the Viking Starship. We started out by Block Island in perfect conditions.

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...
