Matt from Black Hall Outfitters emailed over their report to say, “It’s ice or nothing if you want to fish. It’s been so cold that tidal areas that almost never freeze are locked up! That means nearly every lake in the area is safe and there are guys fishing pretty much all of the local spots. Caution is still required, especially with snow piled onto the ice, making it hard to see what you’re walking toward. Overall, reports have been good.”

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’
