Matt from Black Hall Outfitters emailed over their report to say, “Many more bass reports here. Smaller fish mostly coming on sandworms, SP Minnows, glidebaits like the Berkley Nessie 7 and 9, Bucca Trick Shad, Mag Darters, and NLBN paddletails. No bluefish to report yet but I imagine they'll show their ugly heads soon.”

Matt from Black Hall Outfitters emailed over their report to say, “Just a quick report this week. More stripers seem to be coming in daily, check the creek outflows and major river systems. They are coming on SP Minnows, Mag Darters, plastic flukes and plastic swimbaits. Freshwater fishing is getting better all around, but the trout fishing has just been fantastic!”

My Family has owned Black Hall Outfitters for over 15 years.

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’
