Light Tackle Fishing In Narragansett Bay

Capt. Jim White has owned and operated White Ghost Charters for the past 18 years. He is a well known author and photographer, having written many published articles and books. He has fourteen appearances on national and local TV fishing shows.Capt. Jim has long been an advocate for sound, sensible science-backed striped bass conservation. Over the past couple of years has guided FIVE RISAA Fishing Hall of Fame anglers inside Narragansett Bay, and recorded the first 60 pound striped bass taken inside the bay in over 40 years. This seminar will feature, as the title says, light tackle fishing in Narragansett Bay, for which Capt. Jim is well known. He'll take a look at effective fishing techniques, which lures work the best as well as equipment to be successful. This is definitely an educational seminar not to be missed. |
