Trophy Fish Caught

The local waters surrounding Point Judith and Block Island are giving up massive catches this season, making it the perfect time to target trophy fish. Our recent fishing reports show an incredible push of heavy-hitting Striped Bass moving through the local rips, alongside massive Tautog stacking up on the nearshore rocky reefs. Thanks to late-summer warm-water pushes from the Gulf Stream, anglers are even finding offshore action like Bluefin Tuna and occasional exotic pelagic species that mirror the excitement of targeting tropical fish.

Rhode Island - Newport, RI Fishing Report on 20th Jun, 2025

Striper season in Rhode Island is in full swing, and the bite has been consistently hot from Narragansett to Newport. Anglers are finding success both inshore and just off the beaches, with schoolies and keeper-sized striped bass feeding aggressively on bunker and sand eels. Early mornings and late afternoons have been the most productive, especially around structure and current-heavy areas like the mouth of the Sakonnet River, Point Judith, and Block Island’s southwest ledge. Trolling with mojos and umbrella rigs is pulling in solid numbers offshore, while inshore, live-lining bunker or casting soft plastics and topwater plugs near the rocks is producing exciting action. With water temps holding steady and baitfish thick in the area, conditions are ideal for targeting quality fish. The topwater bite has been especially fun on calm mornings. Whether you're fishing from boat or shore, Rhode Island’s striper scene is red-hot right now—this is prime time to hit the water and land a trophy.
