Adventure Rhode Island fishing charters provides light tackle of fly fishing guided trips on Block Island Sound and Narragansett Bay.  We use lightweight conventional, spinning, or fly fishing gear as necessary on our fishing trips.   The tackle and techniques we use depend upon the abilities and desires of our clients and the areas we fish e.g. sometimes in a given area trolling won’t work, so we drift with soft plastics, or cast plugs.  The Adventure will go wherever is necessary and use whatever tackle or techniques will work to catch fish for the clients. 

Spinning gear is the most versatile in the number of different baits and retrieval techniques that can be used to entice a fish to strike.  It requires a certain level of ability to be successful, so we can’t always use it.

Conventional trolling gear is the easiest to handle, and is used quite often for bass and bluefish fishing.  Our trolling rods are pretty light, especially compared to what a lot of other people are using.

Adventure Charters also offers Fly Fishing trips for beginners or experienced anglers.  Fly fishing on saltwater is a bit more difficult than using spinning or trolling gear.  Not everyone has good casting distance with a fly rod; what might be fine for a trout stream simply doesn’t cut it when fishing from a boat on saltwater.  Granted, the boat can be maneuvered towards the fish, but you can only get so close without spooking them.  The most critical need is the ability to cast a long way, with reasonable accuracy.   To enhance casting distance, a fast intermediate line will give very good performance, much more so than a floating line and is also available with a clear weight-forward tip.  It doesn’t hurt to put on a line that is one weight above that of the rod, e.g. 9w line on a 8w rod.   For those who cannot cast long distances, don’t be discouraged, you can also tease the fish up within casting distance.  Using a plug with no hooks we can bring the fish in close enough that the fly fisherman can cast to it and pull the plug away so the fly is what the fish sees.  This does require good accuracy and timing on the part of the person with the plug, but it can provide a lot of good fly rod action.   Some fly fisherman are purists and prefer not to engage in this sort of bait and switch tactic, wanting to use only the fly rod.  There are many times when keeping a good lookout is important and we’ll see feeding fish on the surface and move up to put the fly fisherman within casting distance.   Another way to catch fish on the fly is to use fast sink line and fish structure.  It can be very productive, we have caught many species this way including false albacore, bluefish, and striped bass.   

All the rates you see are for the boat they are not per person.
