Local Cod Report Tuesday March 9th- Captain Steven Jr called in from the boat at about 5pm and reports a very very slow morning of fishing. Around midday we managed to pick a few fish. The boat stayed out for a couple of extra hours to see if things would improve. They did not so we finally left and headed home.  The weather is phenomenal and we are sailing tomorrow. There are still spots available on the 140ft Viking Starship so book online or come on down. 

Local Cod Report Monday March 8-Captain Carl reports an excellent day of fishing on the Viking Starship today. As soon as the sun came up we started drifting and we caught Cod.  Every drift got better and better and turned into a bail job for a couple of hours with a full boat. Our crew and  Capt Carl could not put down a gaff. There were many bigger sized fish today as well and all healthy green cod. Eventually things did slow down and the afternoon was just a slow pick. The pool winner was  Mike Vass of Fairfeild CT with s 25.5lber. Second place went to  Jim Raffoni of West Babylon NY with a 23.4lb Cod.

Local Cod Report Sunday March 7

Captain Carl reports that fishing on the Viking SuperStar ended up as a decent day, Saturday was still the better day.  The morning bite did not happen, there was only 1 Cod on the boat up until around 9:30am then finally, they started to bite and everyones spirits lifted! We drifted in the same zone for the rest of the day and picked cod on each drift, some drifts were better than others. We stayed out extra late to put as many cod in the boat as possible, and the day ended up with a decent number of Cod onboard. Over on the Viking Star Captain Steven Sr reports a tough day, it just didn't materialize. There was no morning bite, mid-day they went to a wreck and still had no bites. The afternoon was spent back in the middle of the fleet, drifting around where some of the drifts were productive. The Viking Star stayed out extra late to try and catch what they could, all in all a tough day for Captain Steven Sr!.

Local Cod Report Monday Feb 22
Capt Steven Jr reports from the Viking Starship that the day started off with a good pick into the dark and it remained steady with a few really good flurries until around 8 oclock. Then we had an ok pick and things finally died off shortly after. We spent the rest of the day looking around and trying many different areas- but we only had a few fish that would cooperate. The pool - both first and second place- was taken by Ralph Perfetto from Brooklyn NY. Honorable mention goes out to Freddy Shay who had 9 keepers.

Over on the Viking Superstar Capt Steven Sr reports lock and load action. We had a great bite in the early morning till around 8am with a ton of action and a good amount of keepers.

John Tito from Kings Park won the pool with a 14.3lbs cod and 82 years old Alex Piatos from Manhaset Hills nabbed 2nd place.

Local Cod Report Friday Feb 19

Captain Steven Jr reports a slower day of fishing today on the Viking Starship than we have been seeing. Weather conditions which proved worse than we expected made it hard to yield the fantastic results we have been seeing over the past few days. The weather forecast looks better for the next few days so we are hoping for better fishing. The pool was won with a Cod weighing in at a little under 10lbs. 

2 Big Steel Viking Boats custom built to fish the LOCAL Cod grounds sailed today and proved once again when your anchor is in the right place, the COD will be on the ROD!!

Viking Star Charter- Captain Steven Sr reports that STEEL IS REAL! We had a phenomenal charter with the Jersey boys and want to say a big thank you to Mike and Joel for organizing todays trip. We anchored up at 4.30am and by 4.37am there were 8 Cod in the boat. From then on it was as steady as it could possibly get with 3 to 6 fish on at all times. At 9am we were done and on our way back home with 30 ecstatic anglers all talking about their next trip. CLICK HERE to see  pictures of the results from todays trip.

Viking Starship- Capt. Carl reports a great day again today! As soon as we anchored up, the Cod started coming over the rails! Once the sun came up, the fishing got better and better and the bite lasted for a couple of hours! By 8:00am Glenn Evans, among others, already caught their limits and helped fill some others. Eventually, by 11:00am, things slowed down so after picking a couple here and there, we called it a day. First place in the pool went to Ted Gallis of South Plainfield, NJ with a 18 pounder. Second place went to Mr. Ling of Brooklyn, NY with a 17.6 pounder. Again, Superstar Glenn Evans was high hook with 18 keepers (ORL).

Viking Starship- Capt. Carl reports an excellent bite today. We started off fishing in the dark with not much going on, so as soon as the sun came up we started drifting. Things started slow with just a couple COD a drift, but kept getting better and better with every drift. Eventually, fishing became RED HOT with each drift producing more and more COD. We kept drifting all day and ended up with an excellent catch onboard. Many anglers filled their limits with quality green COD! The fish were biting both the bait and the jigs. Gary Van Housen of Hawthorne, NJ took the pool with a 19.9 lb. COD. Larry Smolka of Staten Island, NY took second with an 18.5 pounder!

Capt. Bill ran the Viking Superstar today and reported great fishing as well. Since we had the fast boat to do it, we started way offshore to look around but didnt find much going on, so, we flew back to our usual grounds and started catching. Drift after drift saw more and more cod, and we were able to fish late into the day with plenty of speed to gat back home. We ended up with a great catch of COD with some limits filled. Mahdee Mustafa of Elmont, NY took first with a 17.9 pounder. Norma Wilson took second with a 16.9 pounder.

Over on the Viking Star Ultra Limited Trip with Capt. Steven, fishing was Red Hot! We started off on a wreck n the morning hours and put some time in on it ending up with good shot of Cod some ling. After that, we steamed up to the grounds and saw excellent fishing with every drift bending the rods and the crew working hard gaffing fish! Drift after drift saw more and more COD and we stayed until everything was topped off! Chris and Pete once again limited out! Deo Ganpat also limited out and said "it was my best day codfishing, ever!" Once again, Glenn Evans put a hurting on them catching 19 keepers for the day (ORL). Frank Flisak from Union, NJ took first in the pool limiting out with fish up to his 20 pound winner! It was his first trip on the Viking, and he will be back again!

From then on and through the rest of the afternoon we had a great troll bite where we had at least 7 Tuna on between the flatlines and the green stick as well as a few on the jiggs. By dark we had 25 Yellows on the boat and continued to pick a couple as soon as we got anchored up. The night started with a pick and then got really quite until about 2am and then they started to chew. Just before first light we had our limit on the boat and got started on the troll. We did also have a few swords on that we released and unfortunaltely a few bigger fish that won the battle and we did not get on the boat. We then tried to get off the bank and into some hotter water to look for something exotic but we didn't find anything. After that we had a few shots of yellows early in the am that we had to release as the boat had their limit at that point. We stayed on the troll and covered about 50 miles of the bank to the west and found nothing. After putting in most of the day on the troll and already having all that we could keep on the boat we packed it in and called it a trip and a great trip at that.

This proved to be the right decision as forty minutes after we anchored up we got our first bite!! From then on we had strong steady action, with never more then ten minutes without a bite! All night long there was consistent action with Yellowfin flying over the rail. There was a lot of life around the boat for the entire night with yellowfins ranging from 25 to 75lbs being landed.

An Excellent 2 Day Tuna Trip!!
Well we finally got out on our first Tuna trip of the fall and it was phenomenal!! We were forced to change our scheduled three day tuna and tile into a 2 Day Tuna trip as a result of Fridays weather. We departed Montauk at 10pm Friday night and pushed our way through the left over South East swell. By 5am, the weather conditions were beautiful: a little swell but no wind. On a side note, during the week of NE wind the crew installed a 35 foot Green Stick on the Viking Star. Another Viking first in the Party Boat fishing industry and lets just say its works, it works well!!! Anyway, we started the trip at Atlantis Canyon. Unable to get a water temperature chart, we started there and went east. There was a slow bite to start with a yellow here and there. Jessie Ferguson grabbed a 27lb Mahi Mahi. By 4pm we were catching yellow pretty good with a lot of small ones in the mix. At 8pm we anchored up on a ton of bait and by 10pm we had 2 Swordfish on. Sal Cottone landed an 80 pounder in the boat, and after an hour and thirty minutes the larger Swordfish frayed through the leader. Then the yellows showed up and we picked at them steadily until 1:30am. From 1:30 to 4am, all hell broke lose!! Yellow after yellow came over the rails and it was an absolute blood bath! We put over 50 fish in the box until Captain Steven called that we were at our limit, said no more fish were to be kept and we began Catch and Release fishing. After an hour of that we called it a trip. With over 100 yellows caught, we kept our limit of 84, one 80lb sword, 3 mahi mahi and some Bonito. The Viking Star returned to the dock in Montauk after 6 on Sunday evening with a boat load of fish and some very happy anglers. Captain Steven Sr, Captain Steven Jr, Tyler and Pete would like to thank everyone on this trip. It was a really Great trip and we hope to see you all again soon. We would also like to apologize on behalf of Mother Nature and her east wind which made tile fishing a no go on this trip. A lot of our upcoming trips are sold out, however we do have limited availability on our September 22^nd and October 6^th Ultra Limited passenger trips so if you want to be a part of the excellent offshore action call our office on 631 668 5700 and book your spot now!!

We steamed off the Tuna Land and set up around midnight, and we were rewarded! A half hour after we stopped, we had yellowfins and we released one small sword. The action remained steady throughout the night with a mixed bags of sizes- from throwbacks to 70 pounders!! By morning we had landed 9-10 yellows and had 15 throwbacks.

Next, it was off to the tile grounds, where we encountered real tough conditions but still managed to produce a decent pick for the rest of the day despite the wind, rain, thunder and lightening that we faced. Night 2 we spent drifting in the Deep, 350 fathoms with a shot of nice yellows, some small ones, and a bunch of Mahi Mahi.

1 Day Extended Tuna Trip -Captain Steven would like to apologize for getting in late from the trip as he and Capt. Steven Jr don't wear watches and we are sorry for the late arrival back to the dock. But anyway, things started off on the slow side- working with the Viking Freedom we decided to go east as the Freedom went west. We made the right call as we came upon two 80lbs yellowfin and continued to work this area with not much of a result. We continued working our way east and on our way there we found a couple more yellows and 1 in the 20lbs class. We worked the area of the Fish Tails without much success. We decided to head inshore and work the flats and push north. We came across some 78 degree water and minutes after entering the warm water the first reel went off. With everyone’s amazed expression we knew we had something big on- looking off into the distance on the port side there was a 350-400lbs blue marlin tail-walking and everyone was in awe! The only one that didn't get to see the show was Billy Schaefer who was glued to his reel being emptied by what everyone was ooh-ing at! After a minute or so the marlin won the battle- he spat out the hook and swam away unharmed. Knowing that the area was full of life we decided to put a little more time in that area which was a good move because it produced 2 more yellowfins of about 40lbs-60lbs and half a dozen small yellows that we released unharmed. All in all it was a beautiful day on the water. We had action- on and off throughout the day- of course the last part of it being the best of it. The totals were- 8 yellowfin, 1 mahi-mahi (stayed aboard), and 9 released yellowfin. The outcome of the trip was- "When are we gonna do it again?”. So keep checking the report for any updates because we are looking to do this trip again, with a later return time.

We stayed on the troll and covered about 50 miles of the bank to the west and found nothing.

An Excellent 2 Day Tuna Trip!!
Well we finally got out on our first Tuna trip of the fall and it was phenomenal!! We were forced to change our scheduled three day tuna and tile into a 2 Day Tuna trip as a result of Fridays weather. We departed Montauk at 10pm Friday night and pushed our way through the left over South East swell. By 5am, the weather conditions were beautiful: a little swell but no wind. On a side note, during the week of NE wind the crew installed a 35 foot Green Stick on the Viking Star. Another Viking first in the Party Boat fishing industry and lets just say its works, it works well!!! Anyway, we started the trip at Atlantis Canyon. Unable to get a water temperature chart, we started there and went east. There was a slow bite to start with a yellow here and there. Jessie Ferguson grabbed a 27lb Mahi Mahi. By 4pm we were catching yellow pretty good with a lot of small ones in the mix. At 8pm we anchored up on a ton of bait and by 10pm we had 2 Swordfish on. Sal Cottone landed an 80 pounder in the boat, and after an hour and thirty minutes the larger Swordfish frayed through the leader. Then the yellows showed up and we picked at them steadily until 1:30am. From 1:30 to 4am, all hell broke lose!! Yellow after yellow came over the rails and it was an absolute blood bath! We put over 50 fish in the box until Captain Steven called that we were at our limit, said no more fish were to be kept and we began Catch and Release fishing. After an hour of that we called it a trip. With over 100 yellows caught, we kept our limit of 84, one 80lb sword, 3 mahi mahi and some Bonito. The Viking Star returned to the dock in Montauk after 6 on Sunday evening with a boat load of fish and some very happy anglers. Captain Steven Sr, Captain Steven Jr, Tyler and Pete would like to thank everyone on this trip. It was a really Great trip and we hope to see you all again soon. We would also like to apologize on behalf of Mother Nature and her east wind which made tile fishing a no go on this trip. A lot of our upcoming trips are sold out, however we do have limited availability on our September 22^nd and October 6^th Ultra Limited passenger trips so if you want to be a part of the excellent offshore action call our office on 631 668 5700 and book your spot now!!

1 Day Extended Tuna Trip -Captain Steven would like to apologize for getting in late from the trip as he and Capt. Steven Jr don't wear watches and we are sorry for the late arrival back to the dock. But anyway, things started off on the slow side- working with the Viking Freedom we decided to go east as the Freedom went west. We made the right call as we came upon two 80lbs yellowfin and continued to work this area with not much of a result. We continued working our way east and on our way there we found a couple more yellows and 1 in the 20lbs class. We worked the area of the Fish Tails without much success. We decided to head inshore and work the flats and push north. We came across some 78 degree water and minutes after entering the warm water the first reel went off. With everyone’s amazed expression we knew we had something big on- looking off into the distance on the port side there was a 350-400lbs blue marlin tail-walking and everyone was in awe! The only one that didn't get to see the show was Billy Schaefer who was glued to his reel being emptied by what everyone was ooh-ing at! After a minute or so the marlin won the battle- he spat out the hook and swam away unharmed. Knowing that the area was full of life we decided to put a little more time in that area which was a good move because it produced 2 more yellowfins of about 40lbs-60lbs and half a dozen small yellows that we released unharmed. All in all it was a beautiful day on the water. We had action- on and off throughout the day- of course the last part of it being the best of it. The totals were- 8 yellowfin, 1 mahi-mahi (stayed aboard), and 9 released yellowfin. The outcome of the trip was- "When are we gonna do it again?”.

We did also have a few swords on that we released and unfortunaltely a few bigger fish that won the battle and we did not get on the boat. We then tried to get off the bank and into some hotter water to look for something exotic but we didn't find anything. After that we had a few shots of yellows early in the am that we had to release as the boat had their limit at that point. We stayed on the troll and covered about 50 miles of the bank to the west and found nothing.

Well we finally got out on our first Tuna trip of the fall and it was phenomenal!! We were forced to change our scheduled three day tuna and tile into a 2 Day Tuna trip as a result of Fridays weather. We departed Montauk at 10pm Friday night and pushed our way through the left over South East swell. By 5am, the weather conditions were beautiful: a little swell but no wind. On a side note, during the week of NE wind the crew installed a 35 foot Green Stick on the Viking Star. Another Viking first in the Party Boat fishing industry and lets just say its works, it works well!!! Anyway, we started the trip at Atlantis Canyon. Unable to get a water temperature chart, we started there and went east. There was a slow bite to start with a yellow here and there. Jessie Ferguson grabbed a 27lb Mahi Mahi. By 4pm we were catching yellow pretty good with a lot of small ones in the mix. At 8pm we anchored up on a ton of bait and by 10pm we had 2 Swordfish on. Sal Cottone landed an 80 pounder in the boat, and after an hour and thirty minutes the larger Swordfish frayed through the leader. Then the yellows showed up and we picked at them steadily until 1:30am. From 1:30 to 4am, all hell broke lose!! Yellow after yellow came over the rails and it was an absolute blood bath! We put over 50 fish in the box until Captain Steven called that we were at our limit, said no more fish were to be kept and we began Catch and Release fishing. After an hour of that we called it a trip. With over 100 yellows caught, we kept our limit of 84, one 80lb sword, 3 mahi mahi and some Bonito. The Viking Star returned to the dock in Montauk after 6 on Sunday evening with a boat load of fish and some very happy anglers. Captain Steven Sr, Captain Steven Jr, Tyler and Pete would like to thank everyone on this trip. It was a really Great trip and we hope to see you all again soon. We would also like to apologize on behalf of Mother Nature and her east wind which made tile fishing a no go on this trip.

1 Day Extended Tuna Trip -Captain Steven would like to apologize for getting in late from the trip as he and Capt. Steven Jr don't wear watches and we are sorry for the late arrival back to the dock. But anyway, things started off on the slow side- working with the Viking Freedom we decided to go east as the Freedom went west. We made the right call as we came upon two 80lbs yellowfin and continued to work this area with not much of a result. We continued working our way east and on our way there we found a couple more yellows and 1 in the 20lbs class. We worked the area of the Fish Tails without much success. We decided to head inshore and work the flats and push north. We came across some 78 degree water and minutes after entering the warm water the first reel went off. With everyone’s amazed expression we knew we had something big on- looking off into the distance on the port side there was a 350-400lbs blue marlin tail-walking and everyone was in awe! The only one that didn't get to see the show was Billy Schaefer who was glued to his reel being emptied by what everyone was ooh-ing at! After a minute or so the marlin won the battle- he spat out the hook and swam away unharmed. Knowing that the area was full of life we decided to put a little more time in that area which was a good move because it produced 2 more yellowfins of about 40lbs-60lbs and half a dozen small yellows that we released unharmed. All in all it was a beautiful day on the water. We had action- on and off throughout the day- of course the last part of it being the best of it. The totals were- 8 yellowfin, 1 mahi-mahi (stayed aboard), and 9 released yellowfin. The outcome of the trip was- "When are we gonna do it again?”. So keep checking the report for any updates because we are looking to do this trip again, with a later return time.

Then the wind turned a bit and our drift changed eventually against the tide anfd the rest of the night was a pick. We still had a very good night with some moo cow line siders caught including first place pool winner Radek Bielaczyc with a 31lb, the second place went to surfcaster Mike. Our old friend and former mate John swung and missed 4 times before landing a 29lber Saturday. Sundays Full Moon shaping up to be even better with more flood tide each night.
Block Island Porgy Seabass Captain Dave reported another Excellent day of fishing aboard the Viking Starship lots of porgy not alot of sea bass some blues the nice weather matched a excellent day on the water the pool winner was Mr Hung Lee Brooklyn NY.
