SWEducation Offshore Expo – Saturday, February 6, 2027

SWEducation Offshore Expo – Saturday, February 6, 2027

One full day of expert-led instruction on New England offshore fishing tactics and techniques.

The SWEducation Offshore Expo brings together some of the region's top captains for a full-day, hands-on seminar at the Knights of Columbus in Middletown, Rhode Island. Aimed at intermediate to advanced anglers, the program focuses on refining offshore tactics for local gamefish such as bluefin tuna, mahi, and yellowfin. It's a recreationally focused event, perfect for center console owners looking to up their offshore game without heading to the canyons.

Why We Like It

This is the best way to get dialed in for the Southern New England offshore season. You'll learn from the same captains who fish these waters daily and walk away with real-world tactics that work around Block Island and beyond. It's a practical, hands-on day that keeps things focused on what matters: catching more fish and doing it right.
