Cod Fishing

Our Fall Cod fishing features some of the most exciting bottom fishing of the entire year. The cod fishing this time of the year frequently features warmer temperatures for the comfort of the angler and is also historically the best time of year down here to catch a "steaker" or cod over 20 lbs.
As we head into October we begin to see increasing numbers of jumbo Black Sea Bass with fish up to 5 and even 6 lbs! In addition to the cod and sea bass anglers also catch a wide array of other finfish including but not limited to red hake, pollock, porgies, and blue fish just to name a few.
Fishing areas vary from grounds just east and south of Block Island to the infamous Cox's Ledge.
