Capt Dave reports a tougher day than we have been seeing on the Viking Starship. We had mixed size Porgies with Sea Bass mixed in. There were limits of keeper Sea Bass with no problem. Anglers  also caught a couple of keeper Cod Pollock and Fluk

We have been seeing a lot of sub legal as well as keeper pollock being caught on bait in addition to the haddock catch.

Anglers on the Yankee Clipper are hooking some big pollock and cod on the full day trips. The dogfish are hot and cold some days we have to fish through them and move and other days we barely see them.

Anglers are getting some big cod and pollock on jigs. Experienced anglers are seeing 10+ haddock on good days. The dogfish thankfully have been minimal mostly keeper fish coming up. Photos from past few days.

Fishing has been hot the past few weeks. The boats for the most part are avoiding the dogfish now; we see some but way more keepable fish. Experienced anglers get their limit of haddock some days. Everyone is seeing haddock cod pollock and some lucky

Thursday had better action with nice Haddock Pollock and Cusk.  The tide conditions did make catching difficult however.

Big pollock are coming over the rail on our jig trips. The bite so far turns on fast and cools off. Experienced anglers catch them quick and really load up. Still have some space this Sunday and weather looks good so far.

The Yankee Clipper and Yankee Star have been producing good trips. Anglers have been seeing a good haddock bite and some people are getting close to their limit on marathons. Pollock and Cod are coming up too.

After windy weather over the weekend the next couple of days look good for offshore fishing. Cod remain the prime target. Capt. Bobby Bogan said he had good cod action Sunday on his Gambler from Point Pleasant despite rough seas. Everyone managed at

Cod is still king but striped bass are starting to provide an alternative. There aren't many big cod around though schoolies have been the most abundant in memory. They've been caught on both wrecks and open bottom as herring and sand eels h

Capt JR reports a very productive day onboard the Viking Star. We had no problem finding the jumbo Knothead Sea Bass with everyone easily getting a limit. We also found some nicer Cod everywhere we went with Ling giant Scup and a few Pollock topping

Captain JR reports a pretty good trip out to the wrecks onboard the Viking Starship. We had no problem hitting a few spots that had lots of big knot head sea bass but the cod bite was a little off from what we usually see on these trips. However we p
