Stay close. Fish hard.

The Northeast season

Follow the bite.

Dates are recommendations, not promises—the ocean sets the schedule.

01

Spring

The migration starts moving.

Striped bass along Rhode Island’s coastal grounds and early offshore opportunity.

02

Summer

Point the bow offshore.

Midshore bluefin and canyon trips for yellowfin, wahoo, marlin, and bluefin.

03

Fall

Finish the season strong.

Striped bass on the move, bluefin on the feed, and canyon windows when weather allows.

The long run

Leave the shoreline behind.

Northeast canyon fishing rewards preparation, patience, and the willingness to stay with productive water. Day trips keep the mission tight. Overnight trips unlock the full cycle—from the evening bite through first light.
