Vehicle Details
Fishing out of Narragansett, RI has been red hot this week, especially for striped bass. According to a local guide, recent trips have delivered nonstop action, with bass "committing suicide" right from the start. Both trolling and light tackle approaches are producing steady hookups, making it a great time for anglers of all skill levels to get in on the fun. In addition to the bass blitz, anglers are also picking up a mix of fluke during targeted sessions. A solid hour spent working the bottom added to the haul, topping off the day with fresh filets perfect for grilling during summer getaways. The bite is strong, the weather is cooperating, and the fish are hungry—ideal conditions for anyone looking to get out on the water in Narragansett.
Got'em!

Capt. David is the best around. We chartered a trip with him and had a blast! We caught big fish, and tasty fish. Him and his mate were both very knowledgeable of the Island kinda giving us a guided tour along with our fishing adventures! Highly recommend fishing with Capt. Dave!!!

What a fun time we had with Dave and Mick. They were very accommodating and when the Stripers didn't bite got us on Sea Bass, etc. and we caught over 200 fish in a couple hours, it was wild. Thanks so much guys for all your hard work, My Boys will remember this for a long time!

Dave never disappoints, we are always on the fish. My first spearfishing experience was on Spear-it Charters and I've been addicted ever since. Crew is extremely knowledgeable, friendly and help you anyway they can.

I would recommend the Spear-It charter to anyone as it was the best charter I have ever been on. The four of us caught and kept 16 fish that included blue fish, sea bass and mackerel and threw back at least 10 fish including 2 fluke. Both Captain David and first mate Jimmy are very adroit fishermen, know the waters very well and were very personable, which made the trip exciting and fun from start to finish. They even recommended a restaurant that cooked our fish that evening, which was great since we were in the area on vacation. Thank you again Captain David and Jimmy! You will be our only call next time we are in the area to fish!

Captain Dave is a legend in the spear fishing community. His ability to put both beginners and experienced divers on the fish, every time, is incredible. Freakish really. I can’t recommend Spear- It charters highly enough.
