Bounty Hunter – Newport RI Dock
If you're ready to start fishing in Newport RI, we've got you covered with Bounty Hunter Charters.
Depending on conditions, you might hook into some of the best Tautog fishing on the east coast, Whiting, Squid, Scup (Porgy), and plenty more. Depending on the species you're after, you may find yourself spinning, popping, trolling, drifting, jigging, bottom fishing, or maybe something more specialized in this area.
Capt. Eric believes in teaching kids to fish while they're young, so the whole family can come and unplug for the day! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Snacks are permitted onboard — bring your favorites to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!
You'll be casting lines from a 60' Willis Headboat with room for 18 passengers. It has all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. Your captain will provide rods and reels, along with lures. Live bait is on offer, but be sure to ask about it so you know if you'll be catching it yourself.
A First Mate will be there to make sure everything is running smoothly. A 20% tip is customary to show your appreciation for their hard work.
Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for some fishing! Keep in mind that some fish may have harvest limits or closed seasons. If you don't know what to expect, ask the captain.
It's never a bad idea to bring sunglasses, sunscreen (non-spray), bottled water, and a hat. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Newport, Rhode Island, United States
It's fair to say Captain Eric has spent all his life on boats, almost. As a young child, he started fishing from his playpen on his father's boat, and he started working as a mate at the age of 14, using a skiff to commute to work. He later earned a degree from Massachusetts Maritime Academy, Buzzards Bay, Massachusetts, and then became a deck officer in the U.S. Merchant Marines. He has expanded from the original Bounty Hunter a 31 ft 6 pack boat to a fleet of boats including two USCG inspected vessels which he runs Ultra Limited Load Trips on. In addition the fleet has a few 6 passenger boats for private charters. Although he has expanded, he still upholds the HIGHEST level of customer service by himself and his crew in the region.
