This is more than your regular fishing charter but an adventure! Making the fishing easy for the clients is what we do best.

Striped Bass, Flounder, Black Seabass, Scup (Porgy), Bluefin Tuna, Albacore Tuna, and more are in the cards if conditions are right. On these trips, you can expect to troll and bottom fish using light tackle.

You'll be dropping lines from a 24' Sailfish center console that can carry up to 4 passengers. It comes with all the essentials no fishing machine can run without. Rods, reels, and tackle are ready for you, 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.

The charter boat covers your fishing license, so you can drive right over and come aboard without any hassle! Be mindful that some species may have special rules or limited seasons. Your captain will help you follow regulations while you fish.

Don't forget to bring sunblock (non-spray), sunglasses, and bottled water. If you'd like to bring other drinks, just ask. Alcohol is allowed in moderation, but try to avoid hard liquor as well as glass bottles.

Wil-Ril Fishing Adventures will make it easy for you to go fishing in Stonington. So, how about booking that trip?

    Amazing experince!

    4 Hour Trip on June 28, 2026 • 3 adults

    My family took a trip with Captain Zach and was given not just the opportunity to fish but also walked away with dinner! Captain Zach was so knowledable and patient with us as we tried to figure out where the fish were. We got ti fish for multiple species and it was overall just a fun learning experience as well. This was an amazing experince and we are already planning our next trip out with him. Thanks again!

    My son (11) and his friend caught a 38 inch striped bass! It was incredible. Plus other fish :) The captian brought us to so many great spots and was so knowledgeable about the area. 10/10 would recommend.

    exploring new waters

    6 Hour Trip - 11:15 AM on August 22, 2026 • 3 adults

    Captain Zach did an excellent job helping my son and me on our quest to catch fish in new states. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area, target species, and fishing techniques. When the bite slowed down, he quickly adapted and changed tactics to keep us on fish. It was also great to see the camaraderie and interactions he had with other local captains, which speaks to his experience and reputation in the area. The boat, equipment, and overall trip were outstanding. I wouldn't hesitate to book another trip with Captain Zach and look forward to getting back on the water with him again.

    Great Morning on the Sound!

    4 Hour Trip on August 12, 2026 • 4 adults

    The owner called prior to our trip and offered to move our charter earlier as it was more likely to have a great trip. We agreed and it worked out great. We caught a lot of fish with many keepers. We had a blast.

    Big stripers and great bottom fishing

    4 Hour Trip on June 21, 2026 • 4 adults

    Even with busy water on the popular striper spots we limited out quickly. The Captain knew just where and how to fish to get bites. We even ended the trip with some great bottom fishing.
