5/14-5/16 - 2 Day Tile/Cod

Capt Steven Jr reports after a long winter and spring of maintenance we finally got back out on our first offshore trip of 2021. We had excellent fishing in the deep on day one and a slow second day on the cod wrecks. On the first day we tried fishing a new area and found a load of big Tiles up to 38lbs with a couple Barrelfish popping up as well. Later in the day we jumped around and had steady action with Tiles and saw a mix of Grey Tiles, Hake, Pollock and a few more Barrelfish. By the end of the day everyone had a nice load of deep water bottom dwellers. Day two we fished the Cod wrecks on George’s and only found a handful of Cod on each wreck with a bunch of huge Cunners. Luckily the great day we had in the deep made up for the second slower day of fishing and everyone went home with a load of fillets.
We have a few more multi day Offshore trips to come before summer on the Viking Fivestar and the Viking Starship. Openings are very limited so get booked before it’s too late! Availability and trip info can be found at vikingfleet.com or by calling the office at 631-668-5700.
