Reports from last weeks trips...

Reports from last weeks trips...

Last Wednesday we had a cod charter and put a nice day together. Things started off slow but as the day went on we chipped away at the market cod and found a few in the mid teens as well. We managed to stay clear of the dogs all day and had fish on bait and jigs. In the end the group went home with some nice bags of fillets.

Thursday and Friday we headed back offshore tuna fishing and put together another great trip! Joe Stavola and friends ended up putting 20 nice yellow fin in the 50-65 lb range in the boat along with a mess of Mahi.

Start of Tuna Season! It's Tuna Time!!!

Viking FiveStar reports from our last two Tuna Trips:

We have had a phenomenal start to the Tuna Season! Our first trip that was earlier in the week was with the guys from Sea Skurge Harpoons. We had tons of action and got to try out some of their new products. We ended up plugging the fish hold with big eyes and yellow fin to the point we had to come in early because we were out of ice and space. If anyone is in the market for a new harpoon or gaffs, check out some of the Sea Skurge gear. Their stuff is very well made and the penetrator dart is amazing! The guys also have some great footage of this trip and we will be posting more photos and videos as soon as we get it. 

Our second trip this week was the Porcu 36 Hour Charter and we had a nice load of yellow fin and big eyes, plus a couple wahoo- one at 60lbs and the other at 30lbs.
We have a few split charters with some space still available! Call the office at 631-668-5700 and book today because we are selling out fast!

We have 7 spots available on the Sept 6th 36 Hour Tuna trip, 9 spots available on the Oct 1st 36 Hour Tuna trip and 5 spots available on the Oct 11th 36 Hour Tuna trip.

Chuck Timson TNT Charter

Five Star TNT Chuck Timson Charter
Captain Steven Jr reports we returned early this morning from our first tuna tile trip of the year and had an excellent trip! We did some early morning trolling and chunking at night for tunas but mostly focused on the tiles. We had a dozen small yellow and white marlin on the troll that we released and 4 better sized fish on the chunk at night. Tile fishing was excellent! We started off putting a good pile of small to medium sized fish on the boat then we went searching for some large models. We were rewarded with 8 slobs from 30-45 lbs. We also had a handful of wreckfish, a couple hake and 2 totes of Pollack. By yesterday afternoon we had a pile of fish on the boat which was more than enough for the 6 guys on board so we called it a trip. We are looking forward to setting back out to the deep later this week. We do have a couple open dates for charters and some spots on the open boat trip this month but space is limited. Give us a call at the office and get booked before they all sell out! 

July 6- 2 Day Inshore Special

We just got tied up in Block Island after our first day of our 2 day inshore special trip. We spent most of the day cod fishing and put together a nice pile of market sized cod for everyone. The day started of with decent action but a lot of short fish, as the day when on our keeper ratio and action improved. Most guys averaged 5-6 keepers a man and high hook was 9. The biggest cod was around 25lbs. After cod fishing we worked inshore to do some fluke fishing to end the day but a weak drift made for slow fishing with only a few small fish coming up. But we have all day tomorrow to target the fluke and some bass as we fish our way back to Montauk. Until then everyone is going to enjoy a nice night on Block Island.

The second day of our 2 Day Inshore Special went well. We started off fluking and had steady action that improved as the day went on. By the middle of the day we ended up with a little over 20 keeper fluke. From there we headed back to the point and tried some bass fishing. We had a nice bass on the first drift as the tide slowed down. We only had a couple more bites and then a nice mix of porgies. Overall it was a great trip and everyone went home with some nice bags of fillets!

Sat July 4 Striped Bass Charter

We got out in the afternoon for a half day bass charter and had an excellent trip. We ended up with our limit of big bass from 25-35lbs. Bass fishing has been excellent this past week out here in Montauk with lots of quality fish being caught. Don't hesitate to get out here! Get on the hot bite before its too late! We still have dates available to book for private charters in July. Give us a call in the office for details 631-668-5700.

We have a couple of special offshore charters out of Montauk coming up that have a couple of openings on them! On both trips, like all trips on the Viking FiveStar, everything is included and both of these trips are limited to 10 guys for extra comfort. Both of the guys running the charters are great guys that have done multiple successful charters with us. They always make it an enjoyable experience.
The first trip is John Viol's Slob Tile Hunt which is June 26th to June 28th. This trip we will be fishing the far east canyons looking primarily for the XXL sized Tiles and will also expect to be catching Wreck fish, Barrel fish, Cod, Pollock, Hake, Cusk and all the other creatures we usually find in the deep.
The second trip is Tommy Alexopoulos' Cultivators Fluke trip. This trip is July 10th to July 12th and will be targeting giant fluke and cod fish 160 miles east of Montauk on Georges banks. In the past couple years these trips to this area we have had fluke to 14.5 lbs, halibut to 35 lbs and cod fishing has typically good to excellent this time of year.
