Had a great fishing trip we caught big bass even the guy with no fishing experience. Learned new techniques and how to operate an electric powered kayak. The guide Dustin Stevens was very patient with amateur mistakes.  Woodrow

Had an opportunity to fish with Dustin from RI Kayak Adventures this past Friday and had a fantastic time. I was looking to upgrade my current Hobie PA-12 fishing kayak and was able to tryout the new Old Town Auto Pilot and enjoy a guided inshore trip with Dustin. Dustin’s fleet of fully electric Humminbird Spotlock equipped  kayaks adds a new dimension to inshore fishing.  I fish fresh and salt frequently and found just the right balance of a guide who recommends lures and scouts the fish patterns for the area and the target species.  If you are just getting into the sport or want to learn a few new tricks or try a new area, this is a great option.   A true concierge experience I highly recommend.

Excellent trip! Dustin is a very knowledgeable, professional, and friendly guide and exceeded expectations. We caught over 30 stripers the day after thanksgiving. If you’re looking to get out in a kayak and catch fish, look no further.
