Oct 30-Rusty Belly

Rusty Belly – Fivestar
We had our first Rusty Belly trip of the season yesterday and we had a good day. We started off black fishing and had a good steady pick of fish on most drops with some big fished mixed in everywhere. Fishing was just fine, but not as good as we are used to up east there, but the water temp is still in the mid 60’s. By mid day everyone had their limit of black fish (except for Marty) and we headed offshore to look for cod and sea bass. We had phenomenal sea bass fishing with tons of double headers and all quality sized fish. We only had a hand full of cod mixed in with a few scup and we did have some dogs, but we never had to run from them. By the end of the day everyone had happy coolers full of fish. We have a couple openings on some open boat trips this week so give the office a call and get on!

Oct 18- Striped Bass Charter

Oct 8-Striped Bass-AM Trip

Striped Bass – AM Trip
Capt Steven Jr reports that we had a great bunch of guys this morning for a bachelor party on the Viking Fivestar. We intended to go out for some striped bass, but we ended up with some small scup and seabass.

Oct 7- BI Cod/ Sea Bass/ Blackfish Charter

We had another excellent day on the Block Island grounds today! The cod were chewing on the first drop and we filled a deck box of nice fish in the first half hour of fishing. We made one other cod drop and had a good steady pick of cod for over an hour. By the end of the day we ended up with 61 nice cod. From there we went inshore and tried for some black fish in the shallower water but it seems like it's still too early for them to start biting. We had a hand full of shorts and got only 4 keepers out of it along with a bunch of xl seabass. The cod fishing has been real good and we have only hit a couple drops this year and all of them have produced well. Keep an eye on the website as we may add a couple open boat cod trips this month on some open dates where the weather allows. We also have date open charters so call the office for availability.

BI Cod/Sea Bass
Capt Steven Jr reports that we got out on our first Block Island Cod and Sea Bass trip and we had an excellent day! We had good action throughout the day and put together a nice pile of fish. The seabass were all quality sized and more cod were gaffed then measured. By the end of the day we had a boat limit of XL seabass and  around 60 keeper cod with some scup in the mix as well. We have a bunch more of this and other bottom fishing trips coming up this fall. So check out the schedule or give the office a call and get on a trip before they fill up.

Sept 26, 2016 - 36 Hour tuna

36 Hour Tuna
Capt Steven Jr reports we got a brake in the weather and shot out before the next blow. We managed to put an ok trip together considering  how slow tuna fishing has been this year. The night bite remains very quiet and most of the action continues on the troll during the day. We managed to grab 8 albacore and 1 yellow fin around 60 lbs. With a couple other knock downs for the trip. We only saw a couple of mahi around and not the quality sized  stuff we have been seeing. Hopefully the night bite starts up here soon.

Sept 16, 2016 - 48 Hour Tuna

48 Hour Tuna
Capt Steven Jr reports that we managed to put together a good trip with some good action on the troll. We ended up with 13 albacore and a handful of mahi. For the first half of the day the troll was very quiet, but we grabbed a few mahi off the pots. Just before sundown the albies came up and decided to chew. We had a bunch of multiple hook ups which made them add up in a few passes. The night bite remains very quiet with only a couple mystery bites and not much squid around. Hopefully the chunk bite picks up here in the next couple weeks.

Sept 10, 2016 Bottom Fishing Charter

Bottom Fishing-Viking FiveStar- Mulhaul Charter
