Best places to fish in Narragansett

31 listings · ranked by rating & reviews · updated 2026

Narragansett anchors Rhode Island's saltwater scene at the mouth of Narragansett Bay, with Point Judith and the Galilee docks putting boats on fish fast. Striped bass and bluefish work the rips, rocks and structure through the warm months, taken on light tackle, jigs and troll gear. Bottom trips load coolers with summer flounder (fluke) over the sand and scup (porgy) around the reefs and ledges. The fall is the showstopper: hard-fighting false albacore blitz through the bay and along the coast, drawing anglers who cast small metals and flies to feeding schools. Offshore, boats push out for tuna and shark when the season and weather allow. Options run from half-day light-tackle trips to full-day offshore hauls out of Point Judith and Galilee.
