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.

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.

 

Sat Nov 28 - Block Island SeaBass/Blackfish/Cod

Capt Derek reports a little pickier of a bite on the Blackfish grounds than yesterday on the Viking Fivestar. We managed a couple of fish per person, but nothing great. Seabassing was just as good of a showing as yesterday, making up for the slower morning of Blackfishing. Everyone was able to end up with a nice pile of fish to bring home.
