Get ready to reel in some serious action with Spear-it Charters' Block Island Striped Bass Fishing Charter. This isn't your average day on the water – we're talking about targeting some of the most sought-after gamefish in Rhode Island, with a chance at landing monsters in the 30 to 50-pound class. Whether you're a seasoned angler or looking to hook your first striper, this 6-hour morning trip is your ticket to an unforgettable day of fishing around beautiful Block Island.

What to Expect on the Water

We'll kick things off bright and early at 5:30 AM, so grab your coffee and let's hit it. You and up to five buddies will hop aboard our fully-equipped vessel, ready to chase some serious stripers. Don't sweat the gear – we've got you covered with all the licenses, bait, and tackle you'll need. Our experienced crew knows these waters like the back of their hand, so we'll put you right where the action is. And hey, if the stripers are playing hard to get, we can always switch it up and drop some lines for tasty bottom-dwellers like Black Seabass and Fluke. Flexibility is the name of the game out here, and we're all about making sure you go home with a cooler full of fish and a boatload of stories.

Techniques That Land Lunkers

When it comes to hooking into Block Island's legendary striped bass, we've got a few tricks up our sleeve. We'll likely start off trolling, dragging lines behind the boat with lures that mimic the stripers' favorite snacks. Keep your eyes peeled for birds diving or bait fish jumping – that's often where the big boys are lurking. As the sun climbs higher, we might switch to live-lining if the conditions are right. There's nothing quite like watching a big striper crush a live bait on the surface. And if we decide to target those bottom fish, we'll drop some tasty bait down deep and wait for the tell-tale thump of a hungry sea bass or fluke. Whatever the fish are biting on, we'll make sure you're in on the action.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Striped Bass: The crown jewel of Block Island fishing, stripers are what bring anglers from all over to these waters. These hard-fighting fish can grow to impressive sizes, with 30 to 50-pounders not uncommon in these parts. They're known for their powerful runs and acrobatic jumps, giving you a real workout on the rod. Spring through fall is prime time for stripers, with many anglers considering June and July the peak months. There's nothing quite like the rush of seeing that telltale flash of silver and black as a big striper comes up beside the boat.

Scup (Porgy): Don't let their size fool you – these tasty little fighters punch above their weight class. Scup typically run in the 1 to 3-pound range, but what they lack in size they make up for in numbers and flavor. They're a blast to catch on light tackle, and they make for some fantastic eating. Look for scup to start showing up in good numbers as the water warms up in late spring, with the action staying hot through the summer.

Winter Flounder: These flatfish might not win any beauty contests, but they're prized for their sweet, delicate meat. Winter flounder, true to their name, are most active in the cooler months. We usually target them in spring and fall when they move into shallower waters. They're not the hardest fighters, but there's a certain finesse required to detect their subtle bites and set the hook just right.

Bluefish: When the blues are running, hang on to your rod! These toothy predators are pure muscle and attitude, known for their aggressive strikes and blistering runs. Bluefish typically show up in force as the water warms in late spring, and they can stick around well into the fall. They're not picky eaters, which means fast action when you find a school. Just watch those teeth when you're unhooking them – they've earned their reputation as the piranha of the Atlantic.

Black Sea Bass: These bottom-dwellers are a favorite target when we switch gears to some reef fishing. With their distinctive humpback and striking black and white coloration, they're as fun to look at as they are to catch. Sea bass typically start biting in late spring and stick around through the fall. They put up a good fight for their size, especially on light tackle, and they're absolutely delicious on the dinner table. Don't be surprised if you get hooked on targeting these guys!
