Pursued
RI waters offer a variety of different fish. That is why we offer a mixture
of trips to match each fishery. Our 4 hr. mini trip is an excellent trip
to introduce children to light tackle saltwater fishing. It’s ideal
for those who quickly become restless. The boat remains within one mile
from land, which should eliminate most seasickness. Fluke, sea bass and
porgies are the fish we target. This is our least expensive fishing trip.
The 5 and 6 hr trip allows us to fish Block Island waters for larger bass
and bluefish. The 8 hr. full day allows for a combination of different
fishing. Offshore fishing is available for those who would like to pursue
shark, tuna, marlin and mahi mahi.

Involvement
in Shark Tagging
"Snappa" has been involved with the National Marine Fisheries
Service Shark Tagging Program since 1976. Results from our tagging provide
useful information concerning feeding, reproduction, growth, and migration
habits. Of the 2038 sharks that have been tagged and released, 207 have
been recaptured. Our most notable tag releases were from a 20 ft. Great
White Shark weighing approximately 4000 lbs. and a 4 ft. Great White.
One being the largest and the other being one of the smallest Great Whites
ever released for the N.M.F. Shark Tagging Program. A number of our sharks
were at liberty for as long as 12 yrs. prior to recapture. Notable returns
have come from areas as distant as the Gulf of Mexico, Venezuela, the
Azores and off the west coast of Africa near the Cape Verde Islands some
2,700 miles away. The types of sharks one may encounter in our waters
include the Dusky, Blue, Thresher, Basking, Sandbar, Great White, Hammerhead,
Mako and Tiger.
