About Tall Tailz Charters
Tall Tailz Charters runs private fishing trips out of the Newport Yachting Center Marina at 20 Commercial Wharf, right in downtown Newport. The waters around Aquidneck Island are some of the most productive in southern New England, and Tall Tailz has built its reputation on putting anglers of every experience level onto fish, from first-cast kids to seasoned light-tackle purists.
Inshore trips chase the striped bass that stack up around Narragansett Bay's rips and ledges, along with bluefish and bottom species through the season. Light-tackle techniques are a specialty, keeping the fights sporty rather than winch-work, and offshore runs are available for crews chasing bigger water. All trips are private, so the boat fishes to the group's ability and appetite, whether that's a serious dawn patrol or a relaxed family outing. Gear, tackle, and instruction are handled by the captain.
The downtown departure is a genuine advantage: guests walk down Commercial Wharf, step aboard, and are fishing legendary water within minutes instead of trailering to a distant ramp. Combined with a captain who works these rips all season, it makes Tall Tailz one of the most convenient ways to fish Newport without giving up serious fishing credibility.
