Techniques That Land the Big Ones

On this trip, we'll be using a variety of inshore fishing techniques to maximize our chances. Expect to do some bottom fishing for flounder and black sea bass, using weighted rigs with live or cut bait. For stripers and blues, we might switch it up with some trolling or casting lures around structure. The captain will read the conditions and adjust tactics as needed. Don't worry if you're new to these methods - Captain Diego will show you the ropes and have you fishing like a pro in no time.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Striped Bass: The crown jewel of Northeast inshore fishing, stripers are hard-fighting and great eating. These fish can grow to impressive sizes, with 30-pounders not uncommon. They're often found near structure or chasing bait schools, and the thrill of watching a big striper smash a topwater lure is hard to beat. June through September is prime time for stripers in Rhode Island waters.

Southern Flounder: These flatfish might not look like much, but they're crafty opponents and delicious on the plate. Flounder like to hang out on sandy or muddy bottoms, often near drop-offs or channels. They're masters of camouflage, so spotting them can be tricky. But when you hook one, get ready for some stubborn resistance as they use their flat bodies to their advantage.

Bluefish: If you're after a fish that fights like it's auditioning for a Rocky movie, bluefish are your ticket. These toothy predators are pure muscle and attitude. They travel in schools and when they're on the feed, the action can be non-stop. Bluefish are known for their savage strikes and acrobatic jumps. Just watch those fingers when unhooking them - their teeth are no joke!

Black Sea Bass: Don't let their size fool you; black sea bass punch above their weight class when it comes to both fight and flavor. These structure-loving fish are often found around reefs, wrecks, and rocky bottoms. They're aggressive feeders and will readily take both bait and lures. The satisfaction of pulling up a big 'knothead' (the local term for a large male sea bass) is hard to beat.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

There's something special about fishing the waters off Rhode Island. Maybe it's the way the sun rises over the Atlantic as you're heading out. Or perhaps it's the variety - where else can you target such a diverse mix of species in a single day? But let's be real, it's probably the fish stories you'll take home. That monster striper that nearly spooled you, or the bluefish blitz that had everyone's rods doubled over at once. With Rogue Charter, every trip has the potential for those "you should have been there" moments.

Learn more about the species

Black Sea Bass

These stocky bottom-dwellers are a blast to catch and even better to eat. Most run 1-4 pounds, but they can reach 8+. You'll find them around structure - wrecks, reefs, and rocky areas - usually in 60-120 feet of water. Late spring through summer is prime time, when they move inshore to spawn. Sea bass put up a good scrap, especially on light tackle. They're not too picky - squid, clams, or cut bait all work well. Just remember they have a hard mouth, so set the hook firmly. For a sure-fire technique, try a high-low rig with squid strips. The bigger males, with their distinctive blue humps, tend to hang in deeper water. Sea bass make excellent eating too - mild, sweet, and flaky. It's no wonder they're such a popular target for both sport and food.

Bluefish

Blues are the bad boys of the bay - aggressive, toothy, and always ready for a fight. They usually run 3-10 pounds, but can hit 20. You'll find them wreaking havoc on bait schools near the surface, often close to shore. Summer's prime time, especially when they're in a feeding frenzy called a "blitz." Blues aren't picky eaters - they'll hit just about any lure or bait you throw. For pure action, it's hard to beat blues on light tackle. Just watch those teeth when unhooking 'em! They've got a strong flavor some folks love, others not so much. Here's a tip: bleed them right away and get them on ice for the best eating. Whether you keep 'em or release 'em, bluefish always deliver an adrenaline rush.

Southern Flounder

These flat ambush predators are masters of camouflage, blending in with sandy or muddy bottoms. Most run 15-18 inches, but they can reach over 30 inches and 20 pounds. You'll find them in shallow coastal waters, bays, and estuaries. Summer and early fall are prime, before they move offshore for winter. Flounder fishing is all about patience and precision - they won't chase your bait far. Try drifting or still-fishing with live minnows or strips of squid. When you feel that telltale thump, give 'em a few seconds to get the bait in their mouths before setting the hook. Flounder aren't known for crazy fights, but they make up for it with their excellent table fare. Mild, flaky, and delicious - it's hard to beat fresh flounder for dinner.

Striped Bass

Stripers are the ultimate inshore game fish around here. These powerhouses typically run 20-40 pounds but can top 70. Look for them near structure and in moving water - they love to ambush prey along rips and jetties. Spring and fall are prime, when they're migrating through. Stripers put up an awesome fight and taste great too. To land a big one, try live-lining bunker or eels at dawn or dusk. Just be ready for that initial run - these fish can strip line like nobody's business. Oh, and don't forget a sturdy net - you'll need it to boat those lunkers. There's nothing quite like the thrill of a striper blitz, with bass crashing bait on the surface. It's an experience you won't soon forget.
