                                It’s Time to Winterize Your Boat!

For most boaters in New England, the time has come or has recently passed to pull your boat out of the water and winterize it for the winter.

So captain… what should I do to winterize my vessel?

Well, this depends on what marine power your vessel is equipped with!

Let’s talk about outboards first…

This is the time to drain the lower unit and replace it with a high-quality marine gear oil before winter.

Look for any signs of water intrusion in the lower unit while it is being drained. Telltale signs include a milky color of the oil if it has water in it. This......

Rhode Island waters have experienced two major coastal storms in the first two weeks of October with winds up to 50 mph and seas at Block Island to 16 feet high with even the Block Island Ferry shutting service down at times. However, when the dust settled, or in this case the sea conditions, sharpie anglers got a taste of what this great Rhode Island fishery has to offer!

On a recent fishing charter that was designed to target Tautog, a last-minute change in plans due to an injured missing crew member sent the charter in a different direction…A southwest direction.

The last-minute plans had the charter party going southwest out of Galilee to Block Island’s &......

The waters around the Island are teaming sand eels and squid which are creating a frenzy for gamefish such as Striped Bass and Bluefish.

Our charter clients are loving this as well because even rookie anglers can become proficient quickly due to the ability to hook up with multitudes of Bass and Blues which are mostly being released. Our go to lure is the Deadly Dick lure which is a metal jig that imitates sand eels and can be casted or vertically jigged. This lure catches every species of fish we have. In ......

They decided to take a shot anyway. Knowing this was their primary goal, I did my research and ventured out much further from Block Island and deeper than all the previous trips. They all showed ......
