Premier Block Island Fishing from Montauk

Block Island Fishing: Half-Day Montauk Adventure

Ready to reel in some serious action? Captain Rob's got you covered with this killer half-day trip out to Block Island. We're talking prime fishing grounds that blow the inshore spots out of the water. Whether you're chasing stripers, sea bass, blues, or scup, you're in for a treat. Hop aboard at the crack of dawn or mid-morning – either way, you're set for 5 hours of non-stop fishing fun. And the best part? Everything's taken care of, from gear to bait. Just bring your A-game (and some snacks) and let's make some memories on the water.

What to Expect on the Water

Picture this: You're cruising across Montauk Channel, the salty breeze in your hair, as the sun peeks over the horizon. That's how we kick off our Block Island adventures. This ain't your average fishing trip – we're talking about hitting the sweet spots where the big boys play. Captain Rob knows these waters like the back of his hand, so you're in for a real treat. Whether you're a seasoned angler or just getting your feet wet, we've got you covered. With room for up to 6 on board, it's perfect for a crew of buddies or some quality family time. And don't sweat the small stuff – we've got all the gear, bait, and know-how to put you on the fish.

Inside the Hunt

Alright, let's talk tactics. Out here, we're not messing around with light tackle. We're using the good stuff – heavy-duty rods and reels that can handle whatever these Block Island bruisers throw at us. Depending on what's biting, we might be dropping lines to the bottom for sea bass and scup, or working the surface for blues and stripers. Captain Rob's always got a few tricks up his sleeve, whether it's live-lining bunker for big bass or jigging for sea bass. And here's a pro tip: keep your eyes peeled for birds working the water – that's often a dead giveaway for where the action's at. We're not just fishing; we're hunting, and these waters are our playground.

Top Catches This Season

Listen, every trip out here is different, but one thing's for sure – we're always in for some excitement. Striped bass are the kings of these waters, and when they're running, it's non-stop action. You haven't lived until you've felt a 40-pounder slam your line. Then there's the bluefish – pound for pound, some of the hardest fighting fish you'll ever tangle with. They'll test your drag and your biceps. Black sea bass might not have the same star power, but don't sleep on these tasty bottom-dwellers. And let's not forget about the humble porgy (that's scup to you fancy folks). They might not be the biggest, but when they're biting, it's fish-after-fish fun for the whole family.

Species You'll Want to Hook

Striped Bass: These are the rock stars of the Northeast coast. Stripers can grow to monster sizes, with 50-pounders not unheard of in these parts. They're smart, they're strong, and they put up one hell of a fight. Spring and fall are prime time for these bad boys, but summer can be hot too if you know where to look. And trust me, Captain Rob knows.

Bluefish: If stripers are the rock stars, blues are the punk rockers of the sea. These toothy critters are all attitude, all the time. They'll hit just about anything that moves and fight like their life depends on it (which, I guess, it does). Late spring through fall is prime time for blues, and when they're in a feeding frenzy, it's some of the most exciting fishing you'll ever experience.

Black Sea Bass: Don't let their modest size fool you – these guys are a blast to catch and even better on the dinner table. They hang out near structure on the bottom, so we'll be dropping lines around reefs and wrecks. The best part? They're almost always hungry, making them perfect for anglers of all skill levels. Plus, they're available pretty much year-round, with the best action in summer and fall.

Scup (Porgy): These little silver fighters might not make the covers of fishing magazines, but they're a ton of fun and tasty to boot. They school up in big numbers, so when you find them, it's often non-stop action. Perfect for kids or anyone who just wants to feel that tug on the line over and over. Late spring through fall is scup season, and they're a great target when other species are being finicky.

Why Anglers Keep Coming Back

Look, I've been running these trips for years, and I'll tell you why folks can't get enough. First off, it's the variety. One day you might be battling a bull striper, the next you're filling the cooler with sea bass and scup. Then there's the scenery – that run out to Block Island is worth the price of admission alone. But what really keeps people coming back is the experience. We're not just here to catch fish (though we do plenty of that). We're here to create memories, share stories, and maybe learn a thing or two. Whether you're a seasoned pro or it's your first time wetting a line, there's something special about being out on these waters. And at $1,095 for the whole boat? That's a steal for a top-notch fishing adventure with your crew.

Time to Book Your Spot

Alright, let's cut to the chase. If you're itching for some world-class fishing without the world-class hassle, this is your ticket. We're talking 5 hours of pure fishing action, with everything taken care of – from rods to reels to bait. All you need to do is show up ready to have a blast. And when we're done? We'll even clean your catch so you can go straight from the dock to the dinner table. With morning and midday trips available, we can work with just about any schedule. So what are you waiting for? Grab your crew (up to 6 of you), toss in that low-rate deposit to lock in your date, and get ready for some serious Block Island action. Trust me, once you fish these waters with us, you'll be hooked for life. Let's make it happen – your next big catch is just a booking away!
