Portsmouth Tautog Fishing Charters

We offer a limited number of blackfishing trips from October 20 to December 1. Besides blackfish, we catch seabass, scup, and cod on these trips. Most trips take place in Narragansett Bay in protected waters. Note: we do not pick up from Montauk.

The availability of this trip depends on what's running and the time of year. You could be fishing for one species in the morning and switch to others as it gets later. But full day gives the best chance to catch fish, and check more areas. We offer trips for striped bass, bluefish, sea bass, Tautog, and Fluke.

Blackfish, also known locally as tautog, are hard fighting and excellent tasting bottom feeding fish. These fish are resident fish that spend the winter offshore in deep water, returning inshore from spring to late fall. Newport Rhode Island has some of the best fishing on the east coast. Fall months gives anglers the best opportunity to catch legal and trophy blackfish Best Months- September through November.

The captain will choose which near shore fisherie is the most productive at the time of your trip. Most trips are bottom fishing for seabass, scup, and fluke . Super fun trip for all ages to get out on the water and catch some local fish.
