The fish Rhode Island anglers chase year-round, inshore and off:
Rhode Island packs an outsized fishery into a small coastline — Narragansett Bay, the South County beaches and Block Island Sound put striped bass, bluefish and fluke within easy reach from shore or a small boat. The breachways at Charlestown and Weekapaug are classic striper and bonito spots on a running tide, and the rocky structure off Newport and Point Judith is prime tautog (blackfish) water in the cooler months. Late summer brings hard-charging false albacore to the harbor mouths, and the boats reach Block Island's famous bass and fluke grounds in a short run.
