Rhode Island may be the smallest state, but its 400 miles of coastline make it a saltwater fishing destination far bigger than its borders suggest. Fishing charters in Rhode Island work Narragansett Bay, Block Island Sound, and the open Atlantic for striped bass, bluefish, fluke, black sea bass, and false albacore, with offshore trips reaching tuna and shark grounds. Block Island in particular is famous for its trophy striped bass.
Hunting in Rhode Island is modest but real. Hunting guides in Rhode Island work the state's management areas for whitetail deer, wild turkey, and waterfowl in the coastal salt marshes and ponds. The compact size means short drives to every opportunity. For anglers especially, Rhode Island delivers a concentrated, high-quality coastal experience in a state you can cross in under an hour.
