Captain Mike Littlefield has built a serious reputation on Newport's waters, and the reviews back it up consistently. Repeat customers are common, and first-timers frequently say it's the best charter they've ever been on. Stripers, sea bass, tautog, fluke, and even sharks all make appearances depending on the season, and Mike has a knack for adapting when weather throws a wrench in the plans. What really stands out beyond the fish counts is how much Mike and his mates invest in the people on board. Families with kids, complete beginners, and seasoned anglers all seem to walk away feeling like they got more than they bargained for. He explains what he's doing, teaches people about the fish they're targeting, and puts in extra time to make sure everyone connects. The boat gets consistent praise for being spacious and well set up, which makes a real difference on a full-day trip. With a near-perfect rating across a large volume of reviews and zero complaints surfacing in recent feedback, there's very little reason for hesitation here. If you're in the Newport area and want a guided fishing experience that actually delivers, Captain Mike is a strong choice.
I had an absolutely fantastic day on the water with Archangel Charters fishing for striped bass with Captain Mike and mate Josh. From the moment we stepped aboard, they were professional, welcoming, and clearly dialed in to the local fishery around Newport, RI. Mike put us on fish right away and kept adjusting throughout the trip to stay on the bite, which made for nonstop action on stripers and an all‑around awesome experience. Josh was constantly helping with rigs, netting fish, and sharing tips, making it easy and fun whether you were an experienced angler or new to charter fishing. The boat was clean, comfortable, and set up perfectly for inshore fishing, with plenty of room for everyone to fish without feeling crowded. You can tell Archangel takes pride in what they do—great communication, safe operation, and a genuine focus on making sure everyone has a memorable trip. If you’re looking for a high‑energy crew who knows these waters inside and out, I highly recommend booking a trip with Captain Mike and Josh on Archangel Charters.
