Types of Rhode Island Guided Fishing Trips

Salt Water (Off-Shore)

Rhode Island off-shore charter boat captains offer deep sea fishing trips off the Atlantic coast. Rhode Island off-shore fishing charters take 1-6 people or more out for good times creating memories of the “catch of a lifetime” and commonly fish for shark, sword fish, marlin, bluefish, and much more.   Many Rhode Island charters operate out of Port Judith, Block Island, Newport, and all along the Rhode Island coastline.

Salt Water (In-Shore)

Rhode Island in-shore charter boat captains usually fish out of smaller boats that hold 1-3 anglers.  These fishing charters generally fish closer to shore and in calmer, more protected waters and the Rhode Island flats.  Rhode Island in-shore charters catch a wide variety of fish including striped bass and bluefish.

General Inland

Rhode Island freshwater fishing guides generally fish out of smaller boats or from shore and take 1-3 anglers out at a time.  These fishing guides are located throughout the state fishing Rhode Island fresh water lakes and rivers.  These inland fishing guides often target largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, northern pike, and landlocked salmon.  Popular locations include the Pawcatuck River, Tillinghast Pond, and many more throughout the state.

Fly Fishing

Rhode Island fly fishing guides can provide a traditional fly fishing experience on beautiful streams casting to natural rainbow trout, brown trout, and brook trout although the salt water fly fishing guides targets countless species.  Our Rhode Island fly fishing guides fish on most public lakes, rivers, and salt water coastal hot spots.  Rhode Island fly fishing guides can help teach a beginner to cast a fly rod or help a seasoned fly fisherman locate more fish.

Ice Fishing

Although guided ice fishing trips are dependent on ice conditions, Rhode Island ice fishing guides have great success throughout the state once good ice forms.  You should talk to your guide shortly before your trip to be sure to have a safe trip.  Rhode Island ice fishing guides consistently ice walleye, bass, trout, pike, and panfish.   Chase away “cabin fever” fishing through the hard water.
