Matt from Black Hall Outfitters emailed over their report to say, “The blackfish season closed out with a bit of a fizzle thanks to some nasty weather, combined with the closer falling on the Thanksgiving holiday. And while tog are now off the menu, there are still stripers around, look in the tidal creeks and tributaries of the Connecticut River for the most consistent local action. But there are even still some schools of bass moving through the Sound, most of these fish are schoolies, but it’s still a nice way to close out the season. Freshwater action has been good; panfish in the coves, trout in local rivers and largemouth bass in local ponds have all been productive. The shop will be stocking up with a selection of freshwater tackle, stop by and check it out!”

Matt from Black Hall Outfitters emailed over their report to say, “Tog are moving deeper to close out the season, 30 feet is where you should start and you may have to go as deep as 60. Outgoing tides have been better over the last week as well. Tons of schoolies around, taking small paddletails and some small topwaters too. Trout fishing is picking up with the flows after recent rains. Overall fishing is solid, get out there now for that last tog!

My Family has owned Black Hall Outfitters for over 15 years. As an avid outdoorsman and fisherman, we’ve made it our business to either introduce our customers to all that our part of the state has to offer, or help seasoned fisherman with a successful day on the water. We’ve just recently done a total renovation of our facility and offer a complete pro-shop of bait and tackle, full service marina, and we are the areas exclusive Old Town and Ocean kayak dealer specializing in technical fishing kayaks and gear. Our on water location allows our customers to demo their boat before they buy to see how it fits them and their fishing needs. We saw a great opportunity with Old Town and Ocean to put kayak fishing at our core based on our location and on water presence. Some of the best skinny water fishing in New England is right at our doorstep- just paddles away. We look forward to growing with the sport and helping to outfit paddle anglers with everything they need to experience a “Nantucket sleigh-ride’
