Narragansett Fishing Reviews
Point Judith Stripers Were Stacked
Fished the waters off Point Judith out of Narragansett and the Striped Bass were feeding aggressively along the rocky shoreline. Threw bucktails and live eels along the structure and had nonstop action. Landed 10 keepers with the biggest pushing 42 inches.

Fluke Were Loaded on the Drift
Drifted the sandy bottom off Narragansett and the Fluke were on every drift. Used bucktails and Gulp combos and had fish hitting aggressively. Limited out with fat Fluke and had one doormat that went over 7 pounds. Point Judith is Rhode Island Fluke central.

Fluke
Tautog Were Chewing Hard
Anchored on the rock piles off Point Judith and the Tautog were biting from the first drop. Used green crabs and Asian crabs on jigs right on the bottom and pulled up blackfish after blackfish. Narragansett has some of the best tog fishing in the Northeast.

Sea Bass Were Stacked on the Reefs
Dropped on the reef sites off Narragansett and the Sea Bass were thick on every piece of structure. High-low rigs with clam produced fish after fish. We limited out quickly and spent the rest of the day targeting Fluke on the sand. Great variety fishing.

Summer Mixed Bag Was Perfect
Had a fantastic mixed-bag day out of Narragansett. Started with Fluke on the sandy bottom, switched to Stripers along the rocks at Point Judith, and finished with some fat Sea Bass on the structure. Rhode Island summer fishing from this port is hard to beat.

Narragansett Is a Rhode Island Treasure
This beautiful coastal town has a world-class fishing fleet and easy access to some of the best water in Rhode Island. Fished Point Judith for Stripers and the offshore grounds for Fluke. The charter boats here are top notch and the captains know every rock and ledge.
