Newport Kayak Fishing: Stripers Biting on Inshore Adventure

Non-stop bites all day long! That's how I'd sum up our early summer trip with Christopher out on the waters of Newport, RI. The day started off with partly cloudy skies as we launched our kayaks from Rhode Island Kayak Fishing Adventures. The New England waters were calling our names as we set out for some inshore action. Once the stage was set, we got down to business with a mix of bottom fishing, trolling, and casting lures. These techniques really paid off in the rich waters around Newport. We were targeting Striped Bass, and boy did they show up! The highlight of our day was Christopher landing a nice 22-inch striper. That fish put up a great fight and made for some exciting moments out on the water. We wrapped up our Inshore Saltwater Kayak Fishing Trip with smiles all around. The combination of techniques we used really proved effective for the conditions we encountered.

Newport Kayak Fishing: Striper Success on Inshore Adventure

One for the books today! Summer fishing in Newport, RI kicked off with a bang as I took Jessica out for an inshore saltwater kayak adventure with Rhode Island Kayak Fishing Adventures. The early morning start gave us prime conditions, with partly cloudy skies setting the perfect backdrop for our day on the water. New England's coastal waters were inviting as we launched our kayaks, ready to target some of the area's prized catches. Once the stage was set, we got down to business, employing a mix of techniques to entice the local striped bass population. We started with some bottom fishing, working the structure where these fish often hang out. As the tide changed, we switched gears and tried our hand at surf casting from our kayaks, which can be a thrilling way to hook into a striper. We also did some trolling, covering more water and increasing our chances of finding active fish. Our persistence paid off when Jessica landed a nice 26-inch striped bass - a solid catch that put up a great fight on our light kayak gear. The mix of techniques we used really showcased the versatility of kayak fishing in Newport's inshore waters.
