Fort Adams in Newport, RI
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.
