Capt JR reports a slower day with the windy conditions. In the morning we had a charter and had some Porgies and Sea Bass. This afternoon was a slow pick only turning up some keeper Sea Bass. There was no pool this afternoon. We will be sailing Sunday and Monday at 8AM & 1PM. These […]

Capt Dave reports another tough day of fishing on the Viking Star. The conditions today were pretty similar today as they were yesterday so we started our morning tucked in close to the island to try to stay out of the wind and had a decent pick to start. It was mostly little SeaBass in […]

The float and fly was super effective today because the stripers were feeding on small bay anchovies. Today was the best day of fishing for me this year! I hit a massive blitz of stripers that were feeding on small bay anchovies.  This is a slender baitfish that is super hard to imitate but I have a trick up my sleeve for when this happens. Whil...

Capt Dave reports   The pool winner was Aleks Korochik from Long Island NY with a 2.1 lb Porgy.

Capt Dave reports a good day of fishing today on the Viking Star despite some uncomfortable weather conditions. We did most of our day closer to the island tucked away out of the wind but still had some more difficult conditions with the ground swell. We saw a huge improvement on the SeaBass bite today […]

Captain JR reports a pick of Sea bass and porgies throughout the afternoon in the Viking Starlite. Decent action most of the trip kept anglers busy. We did have a couple short fluke but the better bite seems to be on the flood tide. There was no pool on the boat this afternoon with the […]

Capt Dave reports a good day of fishing today on the Viking Star. We started off today up close to the island in pretty much the same spot we had our long drift yesterday and saw some really good action. Unfortunately the fish in this area seemed to be on the smaller side today with […]

Capt Steven Sr. reports some nice action this morning on the Viking Starlite. We had a steady pick through each drift with some really nice size Fluke coming up all around the boat. We also had a nice pick of Porgies and a few SeaBass. We had one prize on the boat this morning and […]

Capt JR reports a pick of Sea Bass and Porgies all afternoon. We did capture a few Fluke but they were short. Not a bad trip as we kept the rods bent all afternoon. The pool winner was Ron Ocean with a 3 1/2 lb Sea Bass. We will be sailing at 8AM & 1PM […]

Capt Dave reports a pretty good day of fishing today on the Viking Star. Conditions were perfect today as we fished close to the island. Our first drift was our longest drift as it lasted for close to 2 and a half hours with a nice steady mixed bag pick. We saw fish of all […]

Captain JR reports a good morning onboard the Viking Starlite. We had good action with mostly sea bass coming up. We also had a good showing of sea bass and fluke to keep the rods bent. The first prize pool winner went to Adam Cohen from Somers NY with a 4 lb SeaBass. The second […]

Capt Dave reports a decent day on the Viking Star. We started out tight to the island in shallow water and the fishing was good. When the tide got going fishing got tough so we moved to 70 feet of water and found a lot of little Sea Bass but everyone managed a few keepers. […]

It was a wild day at the oceanfront as stripers were on                                              big schools of small bay anchovies!

Capt Dave reports a tougher day of fishing today on the Viking Star. Despite being one of the best weather days we’ve had in weeks the fish were just not biting today. With a large crowd today we moved all around trying a few different spots with pretty much the same results at each drop. […]

Capt Dave reports steady fishing all day on the Viking Star. We fished a couple of spots in the deeper water and found LARGE & JUMBO Porgies. Everyone also had a handful of Sea Bass. There were also 3 Cod and a bunch of Mackerel. The pool winner was Henry Cheng from Hong Kong with […]

Capt Dave reports a good trip on the Viking Star. We fished south of Block Island and had fish everywhere we tried. There was a lot of moving around because we would have them really good then the smaller ones would start to show up. Everywhere we tried was like this. There was plenty of […]

Another trip with whales (our 123rd consecutive trip since July 14 20219)! Well summer is over and the whales are still around (as were the gray seals in Montauk  Harbor). Within about 15 minutes of passing Montauk Point we found our 1st juvenile humpback whale the first of ultimately 5. On a blustery sometimes chilly […]

Capt Dave reports a good day of fishing today on the Viking Star. We made our first drop out in the really deep water and had some really great action with some big sized Porgies and SeaBass some of the bigger fish we’ve seen a while. We worked this drop until the dogs moved in […]

Capt Dave reports a pretty good day of fishing today on the Viking Starship. For the most part today was an all around slow and steady pick it was never red- hot at any point but we had action all day. From the start of the day we had some nice SeaBass closer in to […]

Captain JR reports a tough afternoon on the Viking Star. The weather made a rapid turn for the worse and created very unfavorable conditions. We did manage to pick some porgies and fluke but it was not an exciting afternoon. Ronnie Alma from Montauk NY took the pool this afternoon with a 3 lb Fluke. […]

It was hot fishing in the big blows of the last two days. Sizes up to slots. Wow the wind has really been howling in the last two days. Yesterday I could barely stand with the wind in my face gusting over 50 miles per hour. Today it was a bit less but still howling. And yes I was fishing both days and catching up a storm. I caught stripers both...

It was a good ole fashioned October of fishing for me. There were very good numbers of stripers and the sizes were excellent. Daytime action far outpaced nighttime. For me it was a good ole fashioned October of striper fishing. I landed close to 200 stripers for the month from shore along the oceanfront. In addition to the numbers I had size als...
