Big Stripers off Block Island | S10 E7

On this episode of OnTheWater TV we are going to head 13 miles south off the coast of Rhode Island to a little place called Block Island, Block island is a tremendous tourist destination but it also holds some of the legendary waters for massive striped bass. We are going to be joining BJ Silvia onboard Flippin’ Out Charters dropping live eels with weight right to the bottom in search of some big striped bass. Block island isn’t just about hunting trophy stripers there are also some fantastic opportunities for light tackle so first we hooked up with Captain Chris Willi of Block Island Fishworks who put us onto some big fish willing to smack artificial lures and flies, join us today is going to be a great show.

If you ever visit Block Island then don't pass up Fishworks. Captain Willi and Captain Hewitt run a great shop and run great charters. Extremely knowledgeable fishermen with great morals. Light tackle with a catch & release mentality. Truly amazing people with their minds and hearts in the right place. Go see 'em. Tight lines everyone!

You think light gear is fun, but it stresses the fish out and could kill them. Get them in and let them go quickly and stop being so selfish.

Really nice bass picked up in exciting ways. Way better than trolling!

Then the blues show up and rob your supply of eels. Then you’re forced to go on the troll.
