Turbot
The Turbot is a highly prized flatfish sought after by anglers for its delicate flavor and impressive size. Found primarily in the North Atlantic, from the waters off the coast of Massachusetts to Maine, and even as far south as Rhode Island and New York, the turbot presents a unique challenge and reward for those willing to target them. Their broad, almost circular shape and mottled coloring provide excellent camouflage on the seabed, making them a challenging but rewarding catch.
Turbot Fishing in Narragansett
Targeting turbot out of Narragansett, Rhode Island, can be a rewarding experience for the dedicated angler. Although not as widely pursued as other species, turbot inhabit the deeper waters of Block Island Sound and beyond. Look for them around sandy or muddy bottoms in depths of 80 to 150 feet. The best time to fish for turbot here is generally from late spring through early fall when water temperatures are more stable. A practical tip for anglers is to use the Galilee State Pier for boat launch access; it's a popular spot but provides good access to the fishing grounds. Pay attention to weather forecasts, as conditions in Block Island Sound can change rapidly. Local turbot are known for their delicate flavor, making them a prized catch for those in the know.
