Rhode Island Fishing Charters on the Light Tackle Boat Adventure

Enjoy light tackle charter fishing for Stripers, Flounder, or Totaug with father and son Earl and Chris sailing from beautiful Jim’s Dock in Jerusalem, Rhode Island.

A guided RI sportfishing charter is one of the best  recreational vacation activities for your family when visiting the ocean state.

Rhode Island fishing charters experienced some of the best fishing ever in 2007 and Adventure Charters was very fortunate to have given many people the opportunity to enjoy it firsthand.  Adventure had hundreds of happy clients last year.  The 2008 Rhode Island fishing season appears to be shaping up very well; we have a bigger, roomier charter boat better suited for light tackle; it also has better seakeeping and goes faster.  We are already enjoying taking people out on fishing charters with this new vessel.   Adventure Charters would like to thank our clients in Rhode Island and around the country for choosing to charter with us, and we look forward to the chance to take you fishing again.  We really appreciate the word of mouth charter business that clients sent our way in 2007; it made a big difference to our Rhode Island season.

Rhode Island is known as the Ocean State, and with good reason:  there are over 400 miles of coastline.  It is also the home of Block Island, a famous destination for striper charters.  Many big bass are pulled out of the waters surrounding this island every year.  RI’s Narragansett shoreline is also good for bass and blues, and has many areas of rocky bottom that hold the hard-fighting tautog.  The South shore has many good areas holding a variety of species that our clients like to fish for.  Brenton Reef and the Newport area are also good hot spots.  If you want to read about the different types of fish, use the links on your left to explore the pages for stripers, bluefish, flounder, tautog, tuna, and sharks.  Whether you're learning to fish or an experienced fisherman we can accommodate you on a trip.

At the end of your trip we always fillet and clean your catch,  so you get some nice fresh fillets to take home and eat at the end of the day.  We can also hook you up with fresh Rhode Island lobster and quahogs at the dock--just ask about it.  The only fish we don’t clean is scup, because on those trips we can easily catch 200 fish, and it would take far too long to clean them, you wouldn't leave the boat until evening.

Dedication is important.  You can tell how good a fisherman is by how dedicated they are to the sport.  My dad and I are very avid fisherman; on our days off, we fish.  On our own trips we try out new rigs, fish new areas and old spots, and generally increase our knowledge and gain current information about where the fish are and what they will eat. This way we know where the current hot spots are.  It gives us a much better chance of finding fish for our clients.   We just love sportfishing RI!

July 23, 2008.  Captain Chris sailed on a Mako light tackle trip for bass and caught 32 bass, 2 bluefish, and 15 flounder. 

July 22, 2008.  Captain Chris sailed on a Mako light tackle trip for bass and caught 29 bass, including a 44 lb. trophy fish as well as 3 fish over 20 lbs. for a total of 11 keepers.  We could only keep 6 fish and limited out.  We went on to catch 7 keeper flounder out of 37.  It was a great day of fishing.

July 21, 2008.  Captain Chris and Captain Earl sailed on a half day bass trip in the overcast and fog and the fish were on the attack like kamikaze fliers.  At the end of the trip we boated 43 bass including 17 keepers and had to throw back 5 fish because we were limited out.  It was a great day.

July 19, 2008.  Captain Chris and Earl sailed on a full day flounder trip with Tom and Brian Duffy.  By the end of the trip 125 flounder had come over the railing, it was an outstanding day of fluking.

July 17, 2008.  Captain Chris and Captain Earl sailed on a flounder trip and caught 75 fish including 14 keepers for 3 gallons of fillets.  It was a excellent trip.

July 15, 2008.  Captain Chris sailed on a bass/flounder trip and found nothing but weed all over the south shore, so he took the client out to Block Island which saved the day.  8 bass up to 34lbs and many bluefish were caught including some dogfish (there are thousands of them out at Block Island right now).  We finished the day with a hour's flounder fishing and caught 28 fish including 5 keepers.

July 10, 2008.  Captain Chris sailed on a half day bass/flounder trip along the south shore and caught 13 bass, 6 bluefish and 30 flounder.   Fishing is just fantastic right now.  South shore fishing has never been better.

July 9, 2008.  Captain Chris and Captain Earl sailed on a full day flounder trip and caught 107 fish.  It was an excellent day of flounder fishing--our best yet!

July 8, 2008.  Captain Chris sailed on a light tackle bass trip and got 30 bass and 15 bluefish along the south shore in a half day trip.  Captain Earl sailed on a flounder trip and caught 38 flounder.  The fishing is just great.

July 6, 2008.  Captain Chris and Earl sailed this day on a bass trip and caught 8 big bass and 4 bluefish then went on to catch another 20 flounder all in a half day trip.  All the Bass and Blues were taken on light tackle with plugs and soft plastic lures, no trolling was involved.

Fishing last season was great.  We took out hundreds of people from Connecticut, RI , Massachusetts, and other states on a lot of fishing excursions and not even once did we fail to catch fish.  Many happy customers stepped onto the dock at the end of the day.  We also wish to thank our new customers and the many returning customers we had for 2007, as it makes it all worthwhile to hear back from those of you who had a good time with us before and expected to do it again a second, third, or fourth time.  We are looking forward to another banner year.

The new Webber's cove boat Adventure 2 is now in the water and in use for charters. We are very excited about this new boat which has a lot more cockpit room then the old one (17' long by 11' wide in the back), providing plenty of room to drift fish, allowing 6 anglers to fish from one side of the vessel with no problem.  Many of our regular customers who love to fish for flounder and Totaug especially will appreciate the room.    This boat also has a much superior ride and better sustained cruising speed than our previous vessel.

We are still sailing out of Jim's Dock, in Jerusalem, Rhode Island right across from the Galilee and Point Judith charter fleet.  It is a beautiful little marina and restaurant located on the water, off the same exit as East Matunuck State Beach.  The restaurant is only open from May-September.  Charter a half day trip with us then have lunch at the restaurant after we return from the tours.

The Season is in full swing.  We have already taken out people on Tautog fishing charters  which are now closed until July 1st.  Stripers are in and we are fishing for them, as well as Bluefish and Flounder.  Eventually in July or August we will see tuna and sharks show up as well.  Time to start thinking about going on a charter boat.  Check out the Rhode Island fishing charters calendar for detailed information about when our guides will be active again.
