Fishing

Ready to cast your line and reel in some memories? Fishing on Block Island is an exciting and rewarding experience that will have you hooked from the moment you start. With its pristine waters and abundant marine life, the island offers plenty of opportunities for both seasoned anglers and newcomers to the sport.

Venture out on a charter fishing trip with one of the local fishing companies. These knowledgeable captains know all the best spots to find the big ones and will guide you every step of the way. They'll provide all the gear you need, so you can leave your fishing rod at home and just focus on the thrill of the catch.

If you prefer to stay on land, our sandy beaches and rocky shorelines are perfect for fly fishing and surf casting as shore access is unrestricted around the entire island. Stop by the island’s two tackle shops for bait or suggestions about where the action is.

Don't forget to get a fishing license, which you can obtain from the Block Island Town Hall or online before your fishing adventure.
