We will be adding more items daily so if you are looking for last minute holiday gifts take advantage of our grand opening FREE SHIPPING SPECIAL! Over time you will see this store become the most complete online saltwater fishing store on the web. Offshore enthusiasts will be happy to see we are launching the store with the COMPLETE line of Carlson Offshore Tackle. You WILL NOT find lower prices anywhere for Carlson spreader bars, bird bars, daisy chains, etc. Inshore fishermen will be just as excited to see the immense line of River2Sea plugs.

Along with our E-store, our online content will be growing by leaps and bounds. During the season you will be able to LISTEN or READ our fishing report updated 3 times weekly. This off season keep and eye out for webinars on everything from knot tying to basic reel repair to early season striper tactics.

I am also in the process of compiling a slide show our customers best catches from the 2011 season. Please email me any photos you may have of this past season and I will be sure to add them to the slide show.

As boat and fishing show season is around the corner, check back to our site for show specials we will running at the Providence Boat Show, New England Boat Show, and finally the MSBA Show in Plymouth.

I will strive to make this website a destination for all anglers. Whether you are a Cape Coddah or fish the waters of Long Island Sound and beyond.Please feel free to email me anytime with comments, concerns, and ideas to make this site better. My goal is to make this site exactly what you all want it to be.

Tog Fishing in Buzzards Bay is Red Hot!

badfish — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 15:21:40 +0000

Good morning everyone! Well, the weather has finally broke and it looks like the wind has subsided for the weekend. Conditions look perfect to take advantage of a great Tautog bite going on in Buzzards Bay. From Cleavland Ledge to Wings Neck and any rock pile in between, the depths of Buzzards Bay are teaming with keeper size Blackfish. With a 16″ minimum, its very easy to get some table fair into the boat. Green crabs are the bait of choice either on a heavy jig or a 3/0 to 4/0 octopus hook rigged dropper style. Remember these fish have a very light bite so be ready to set that hook right away. If you can find some hermit crabs they can sometimes work even better for those very finicky fish.

Stop on into the shop for fresh green crabs on your way out. Don’t forget water temperatures are very cold now so be safe on the water.

Good luck from all of us here at Bad Fish Outfitters!

Bad Fish Report 5/18/10

badfish — Tue, 18 May 2010 21:39:19 +0000

Dear Anglers,

The fishing on the cape continues to be excellent. The boys have been fishing upper Buzzards Bay like madmen and have been catching consistent fish. The birds have been all over the place with stripers and blues on top. We have noticed however that the stripers have begun to hang out deeper with the snapper blues staying on top. Try using your wire line setups to get those deeper bass.

The Mackerel fishing in Cape Cod Bay has been good as well. We went out and filled 2 coolers of mack in just 2 hours. The stripers in the canal and CC Bay have been devouring these snack size baits. Try using plugs like pencil poppers or needlefish to mimic their action.

This weekend is opening weekend for recreational Black Seabass and Fluke. Dont forget to gear up for these delicious critters. When targeting Black Seabass look for structure like rocks, trenches or holes. These fish will wait and ambush their prey. Use a rig with 3 to 4 ounces of weight and tip your hooks with squid. The fluke need to be a minimum of 18.5″ to keep so in order to find these doormats you must seek out deeper water. Look for water of 80 feet or more. Use a rig with squid, sand eels or fluke bellies for bait.

Bad Fish Report 5/15/10

badfish — Mon, 17 May 2010 17:55:53 +0000

Dear Anglers,

The striped bass and bluefish bite is going off! This morning the boys from Bad Fish went out into Buzzards Bay and had an epic trip. We went out at first light and immediately found birds working on huge schools of fish in upper Buzzards Bay. Every other cast was a keeper sized striper! We fished all top water using poppers, Line Stretchers, Gibbs, Ocean Lures and Salt’s Needlefish. The action was fast and furious with all stripers. As the tide changed so did the fish. Towards the end of our trip we found the largest school of Bluefish that any of us had ever seen! Birds in every direction with fish breaking the surface and feeding hungrily on sand eels.

This is some of the best springtime fishing that any of us has ever seen. These fish are so hungry that one 30 pound bass actually had a 19″ striper in her belly!!! This action wont last forever, probly on a few weeks, so get on out there and have a trip of a lifetime.

The best places to find these fish is all around Mashnee Flats. The fish were moving up and down the canal entrance from the Mass Maritime boat all the way to Wings Neck. The old canal was also very productive. The best tide to catch this action is on the last few hours of the incoming tide. Trolling deep diving plugs is working as well.
