Captain Mike Morazzini

Mike Morazzini is a lifelong angler with over 25 years spent on the waters of Long Island Sound, Rhode Island and Block Island sound. Although he has considerable experience targeting a variety of fish from large-mouth bass to tuna, sharks, snook and tarpon, Captain Mike’s passion lies with the pursuit of local species; primarily striped bass.

“I was fortunate enough as a young child to grow up two blocks from the shoreline of Long Island Sound. I couldn’t wait to get out of school each day and cast for stripers on the local rocks and piers. Not having the internet as a child allowed my friends and I to learn the fishery through direct experience and knowledge passed down from our elders.”

Mike is a United States Coast Guard OUPV licensed captain and a Biology and Environmental Science educator. He runs the fishing club at Jonathan Law High School and finds great enjoyment teaching and sharing his love and enthusiasm for the sport with others.
