Member since September 2021 Narragansett, United States

Background: I was raised fishing in Rhodes Island waters, and I have commercially fished RI for 35 years. I have run charters for over 20 years. The ocean is one of my greatest passions . When I was younger, I was a competitive freediver/spearfisherman and US national spearfishing champion. I am fortunate to hold two world records. The world record speared Striped Bass and pole-speared Striped Bass. Spearit also holds the largest Albacore tuna rod&reel Rhode Island state record. If you have no experience fishing, we are happy to help you learn.
Techniques: Jigging as well as sight casting to breaking fish are among my favorite techniques.

6 Hour – Block Island A.M. trip

The spear it charter was one of the most eventful days I’ve had fishing in a long time. Non stop action of every species. Bonita, striped bass, blue fish, scup and sea bass made for a day full of fun. Captain Dave was more than accommodating with his knowledge and services. 10/10 would recommend for a day of fun and we will certainly be back!
