Come fish the productive waters of Western Long Island Sound aboard Viking Fly, a 20’ SeaCraft built for an active, hands-on experience. Whether you’re fly fishing or using spinning gear, each trip is tailored to your skill level.

Target Striped Bass, Bluefish, Bonito, and False Albacore, depending on the season. This is a run-and-gun trip with no trolling; just staying on the fish and in the action.

I also offer a local trip option that stays close to shore and focuses on non-stop action, making it a great fit for kids and beginners.

Up to 2 guests can fish comfortably, with 3 possible depending on the crew and conditions. All gear is included, with fly rods available upon request. You’re welcome to keep your legal catch.

Bring sunglasses, proper clothing, non-marking shoes, and any food or drinks you’d like. A cooler is available onboard. Departure times vary.

Book your trip and get in on the action.

    Great trip considering the conditions

    4 Hr – Fishing Trip on October 11, 2026 • 2 adults

    Great captain who knew where the fish were at! Brought my little brother, who's decent at casting, on a charter. The conditions were pretty gnarly, but Wes put us on top of bonitos early and made sure we didn't go home empty handed. The great thing about Wes is that he's patient and, of course, knows where to look for the bite. The worst thing is getting a captain who gets angry when you don't cast in the right spot, constantly tells you what you're doing wrong, or, in some cases, grabs a rod right out of your hand. Wes is not that guy. Will definitely book with him again the next time I go on a charter!

My love for fishing started at an early age salmon fishing in Iceland. That passion grew and led me to guide on a couple world famous rivers in Iceland. That love shifted towards saltwater when I had access to a boat. When I caught my first 'albie' 15 years ago I was 'ruined', freshwater took a back seat.
