Tue June 8 to Thurs June 10 - 2 Day Tile/Fluke

 Capt Steven Jr reports a late report from our Tile and Fluke trip last week. We had slammer Tile fishing with fish up to 44lbs and slower then average Fluking, but still had fish to 9 lbs. Due to the weather we had to shorten up the trip by a day and we had to skip the Cod fishing. We started off in the deep on the first day and had a pick early in the day that turned into solid action of quality Golden and Grey Tiles with a handful of Hake mixed in. From there we steamed overnight to the Fluke grounds and had tough condition with wind against tide, but still put together a decent catch of quality Fluke. At the end of the trip everyone had a nice load of fillets to take home. Tile fishing has been excellent and the warm water is moving up on the bank so we have added a 3 Day Tuna and Tile trip to the schedule departing June 28th at 3pm. We have NO openings on tile trips for the rest of the year so this is your last chance to get on a trip for 2021! As far as the remainder of the offshore schedule we have a couple openings on 1 Tuna trip in August and 2 Tuna trips in September.

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.

 

 

 

 

Sun Dec 22 - Block Island SeaBass/Blackfish/Cod

 Capt Steven Jr reports that we took the run offshore again since the fishing around Block has come to an end. We had slower fishing then previous trips but still put an okay day together. There was a decent shot of Seabass with a couple Cod and a few Hake in the mix.

 

 

Sat Dec 20 - Block Island SeaBass/Blackfish/Cod

Capt Steven Jr reports that we had to do some traveling, but we put together a good day of fishing in the end. We started by block and after the first 20 minutes of fishing it was obvious that last weeks storm had shut the bite down. So we took a long ride offshore and fished some wrecks with steady action on nice Seabass, a couple cod and some other wreck dwellers. We put in some extra time and ended up being rewarded for it.

 

Wed Dec 16 - 30 to 50 Mile Wreck Trip

 
Capt Steven Jr reports that we were able to sneak out Wednesday before the weather came on and put a slammer day together on the offshore wrecks! A swinging load of jumbo Seabass with a couple Cod and some big ling in the mix. We loaded everyone up with fresh fish for the holidays.
We have another 30-50 mile wreck trip next Wednesday with a couple openings and there are some charter dates available for wreck trips before the Seabass season comes to an end. Give us a call and get in on the action. 

 

 

 

Sun Dec 13- Block Island SeaBass/Blackfish/Cod

Capt Steven Jr reports an excellent day with a boat limit of big Togs! High hook had 14 keepers (orl) and we a lot of fish in the 8-10lb range. The Viking Fivestar is sailing Friday, Saturday and Sunday for this trip through December. There is also a 30 to 50 Mile Wreck trip sailing on Wednesdays.

Fri Dec 11 - Block Island SeaBass/Blackfish/Cod

 Capt Steven Jr reports a picky but successful day with some quality Blackfish. The Seabass have made their move offshore with very few fish left inshore. With the lack of Seabass we decided to focus on Blackfish and we chipped away all day on some quality fish with a few hitting double digits. High hook had 14 keepers (orl) and just about everyone had their limit for the day with a couple of Seabass mixed in. As the Seabass move out we are hoping to see the Cod make an appearance to start off our winter season.
