Rhode Island Fishing Boat Captains

Meet the
Captains of Adventure Charters, a Father and son in business
together.
We had fished Narragansett Bay and Block Island sound in Rhode Island for many
years, first as recreational, then as commercial rod and reel
fisherman. We would often return from a day's trip, put our
fish up on the dock, and have people ask us if we would take
them out on a fishing charter. Well, after being asked enough times
we decided to do it, and found we like it.
We are such fanatics about fishing that we
even go fishing on our days off. It's always interesting
to try new areas, techniques, and rigs to see if they work,
finding newer and better ways to fish and places to go.
Fishing has to be the best outdoor activity
in the world. Of course, we are biased in favor of it.
Even when we can't fish we're thinking about fishing or writing
about fishing or talking about it with someone. I bet some
people get tired of talking to us.

Captain Earl G.
Bell
-
Coast Guard licensed
This is my dad. He has been fishing for
over 40 years, starting on charter head boats in NY, paying about
$5.00 to go out on a trip. He spent many years fishing
in Florida, catching snook, kingfish, wahoo, sharks, sailfish,
bonito, etc. from his 23' chris craft boat. Moving to
RI in 1973, he bought a wooden boat here and proceeded
to fish Narragansett bay and Block Island.
I finally got him to get his captain's license and now he enjoys
taking people fishing and teaching them how to catch
fish for the first time.

Captain Fred Miller

Coast Guard licensed
This is my dad. He has been fishing for
over 20 years, starting on charter head boats in RI.
The addiction to the fishing habit was well developed by
the age of 10. Mashpaug Pond in Providence, RI was
just down the street, and it was FULL of carp, ranging
from two to twenty lbs. A
big strong Carp, falling for a wad of Wonder Bread on a
hook, tied to a 6lb test spinning outfit, purchased with
S&H Greenstamps, collected from Mom & Dad's grocery
shopping at Almacs in Garden City Cranston... was still,
to this day, some of the purest, most exciting fishing
I've ever done. |
