Anyone ever done any fishing from, say, Newport? Or the CT coast, or thereabouts? Can you recommend an outfit for a small (5 or six person) group? I'm supposed to figure this out for a friend's birthday party, and have no clue about it.

Sounds like you need to look for the cattle boat with the topless bait girls.

These guys are both very good charter captains. I think they're both based in Snug Harbor, RI.

When are you planning to go? Fishing there won't start to get good until early May.

i grew up fishing in RI and I recognize "Prowler" as a boat that's been around a long time. He'll know where the fish are and not just stripers.Originally posted by The Suit

Re: Info needed on fishing out of RI/CT
I would recommed heading out to Block Island, RI. Killer fishing out there. There is a fast 30 minute ferry from Pt. Judith, RI which is close to CT. You can even pick up charters in Pt Judith that head out to Block Island.Originally posted by Dexter Rutecki

I grew up in Rhode Island and did a bit of fishing, mainly off of Beaver Tail in Jamestown for Stripers and Greenwich Bay for Flounder. Never got too out to sea too deep as my vessel was a 10 foot Achilles with a 5 HP motor and I never did any charter trips. As for Block Island I highly recommend going down there too, the largest Great White Shark ever caught on a rod and reel was caught about 20 minutes off the shores there, something like 16 feet long!!
Beautiful area and the ferry ride is enjoyable. You will love it.
