Newport, RI, United States

Newport has a fish with your name on it, so let the Lil Bingo help you catch it! With Captain James at the helm, you'll have a knowledgeable and experienced guide.

These waters are known for Tautog, Black Seabass, Scup (Porgy), Bluefish, Flounder, Striped Bass, and more – with any luck, you'll find out for yourself! On these trips, you can expect to bottom fish using light tackle.

Thinking of bringing the whole family? Kids are absolutely welcome! If you don't have a child-sized life vest of your own, be sure to ask if there's one on board. Customers are encouraged to bring snacks to ward off any mid-trip fatigue!

Your boat for the day is a 36' Henriques sportfishing vessel with capacity for 6 passengers. It comes with outriggers, and all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. There's a toilet on board for your convenience. You'll find rods, reels, and tackle waiting for you, along with lures.

Trips are run with the help of a First Mate. Mates work hard to make your trip count, so a 15~20% tip is customary.

Your fishing license for the day is covered by the charter boat, just show up ready for some fishing! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

A few items to bring include sunblock (non-spray), and sunglasses. There will be some drinks on offer, but let the captain know if you wish to bring your own. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but you should avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles. There will be some light snacks for you on board.

Your trip with Lil Bingo Fishing is just a click away, so why not make it happen?

My 1st chartered fishing trip!
Half Day Trip – Morning on August 31, 20256 adults
Captain Jim and Lil Bingo! What a great combination! Booked my 1st fishing charter and am SO glad I connected with Captain Jim and his boat Lil Bingo! We had a fantastic time catching a wide variety of "bottom feeders" Skup, Sea Bass, Flounder...and more. Also snag an eel that was immediately put back where it belonged. Captain Jim made this morning out in the water everything I hoped for and more! Great memories! To anyone looking for a fishing charter...get in touch with Lil Bingo!

Amazing day on the water
Half Day Trip – Morning on August 9, 20256 adults
We have been doing a fishing trip every year with a bunch of colleagues- this year we chose. Captain Jack and his crew. What an amazing day - we gave up catching fish after about 75 of them - our arms were tired . The captain and Jack and assistant James were amazing - would recommend him any day - hope to take the grand kids with him as soon as possible. Well done Captain - please send us the pictures when you get a chance.

Half Day Trip – Morning on August 6, 20252 adults
Our captain arrived exactly on time and welcomed us aboard. After a quick review of the boat and where things were located, we are off to fishing. We caught fish within the first three minutes of putting our our lines in the water. When fishing slowed down at this location, we moved to another one and continue to catch fish on a regular basis. My family had an excellent time and enjoyed themselves very much and we appreciated everything the captain and his mate did for us that day

Captain James was great!
Half Day Trip – Afternoon on October 10, 20253 adults
My friends and I all have limited fishing experience and James was able to make our first fishing charter experience a blast. He put us in spot where we all caught plenty of fish. He was also always engaged to assist with the group. He was ready to help us unhook and get new bait when needed and gave us space when we started getting a hang of things.

Great Family Trip
Half Day Trip – Morning on August 27, 20255 adults
Took my wife and three boys (8 and under). Captain James and 1st mate Dean were amazing with the kids. Taught my little ones the basics while my oldest improved to baiting his own hook and taking the fish he caught off the line. Great day and more importantly great memories. Don’t waste time and book them if they’re available. They sell out fast.
