Background
Come visit Newport and spend a day fishing with Captain Chad. He's a friendly angler who knows how to make your day on the water as good as possible, so join him inshore and offshore and have lots of fun catching fish!
Techniques
jig n pop style fishing live bait when needed occasionally trolling but rare as I like the clients to have rods in their hands the entire trip. Each season technic, style, and colors change. I have this fishery dialed and utilize what needs to be done to land your trophy fish of a lifetime

The recent bass fishing has been incredible! Using live pogies as bait has proven exceptionally effective, with bass aggressively attacking them right at the surface. The sheer power and excitement of watching these fish explode onto the topwater lures is truly breathtaking. It's been a thrilling experience to witness their ferocious strikes and the chaos they create. The aggressive feeding behavior is a testament to the abundance of baitfish and the overall health of the ecosystem. I've had several memorable encounters, with the bass exhibiting impressive size and strength. It's a fishing experience you won't soon forget!
