Aboard the Hula Dog with Captain Matt King. Trophy stripers, aggressive blues, sea bass, fluke, and pelagics from May through October. We fish hard. We have a good time doing it.
Block Island sits on the migratory highway. Stripers, blues, sea bass, and fluke run the rips all season. When the pelagics push in, we run offshore for mahi and bluefin. Bonito and false albies round out the late summer cast.
The day on Block Island splits into three windows: morning, midday, and afternoon. Pick the one that fits and we'll fish it hard, with rods, reels, tackle, bait, and ice all included.
Captain Matt King has fished Block Island his entire adult life. Twenty-four years of tides, twenty-four seasons of wind, every rip from Southwest Ledge to the North Reef committed to memory.
He runs the boat with his dog Lucy on board and a simple philosophy: fish hard, treat people right, send everyone home with a story. Read more...
For Captain Matt, the season never really ends. When the stripers leave Block Island, he follows the action. Bonefish on the flats, deer in the hills, pheasants in the prairie, blue marlin offshore. Wherever the fishing and hunting are good, that's where you'll find him.
