About This Adventure
About
Rhode Island is home to some the best striped bass fishing in the Northeast. Trips are offered from April through the season into September/October. Trips will take place starting in the Narragansett Bay early in the season and will graduate to Newport/Block Island as the season progresses.
Fluke & Seabass are great trips for all from beginners to seasoned veterans. Being a hands on fishery, you will have a rod in your hand the entire trip with often fast paced fishing. Trips are offered from May through October. Sea bass fishing often stays hot later into the fall, so please call and ask what we are fishing for at any given time.
Please note the 4-hour fishing trips are only offered in May through early parts of June to target Stripped Bass in Narragansett Bay. These trips do not require a long run to the fishing grounds.
The All Day Offshore Charters will take place at Block Island.
More Info
All trips will be confirmed by Capt Chris with a phone call after booking. At that time, the location of the trip will be confirmed.
