Fishing Block Island: Best on the Eastern Seaboard

Fishing Block Island: A dream come true for any Angler

Charter Fishing Trips

Island waters are home to many varieties of fish. Inshore fishing for striped bass, fluke, bluefish, tautog, bonito, little tunney, sea bass and scup. Offshore fish with the big boys going for tuna, marlin and shark.

There are several reputable charter boats on Block Island - all licensed boat captains with excellent fishing skills. You'll find their boats lined up at the Old Harbor town dock, right next to Ballard's. Look for Captain Matt King of Hula Charters, Captain Bill Gould of G. Willie.

Surfcasting or Flyfishing

There are several sweet spots for fishing Block Island. If you're a novice angler or don't know where to go you may hire a local guide. Another way to find out where to fish is to visit Twin Maples Bait & Tackle shop on Beach Avenue (just up the street from the Fire Barn.) Owner John is usually around talking fishing with the locals.

The best way to learn where to fish is to gather your tips, then head out there and "put in your time!" Learning tides, currents and wind directions by being in mother nature herself will eventually land you your prize!

Take the Kids Fishing

A recommended first time fishing trip and great for kids is an inshore trip bottom fishing. Why? You are close to shore in case the seas are too rough for the stomach and the odds are in favor of hooking up often. Bottom fishing you can catch fluke and scup. Since they are so abundant and easy to hook, you will be almost guaranteed a tight line. You may also request a shorter trip for bottom fishing. Expect to pay around $100/hour for any custom trip for up to 6 people.

If your young angler is an aspiring rodman, go for the Striped Bass trip, usually a minimum of 1/2 Day or 4 Hours.
