Join the Fat Dad Fishing Show on our quest to help the average saltwater angler to catch more fish and have a better on-the-water experience. Each week we will be covering topics to help anglers get the most out of their time targeting multiple species spanning the entire east coast of the USA. We will cover fishing for flounder ( fluke ), striped bass, weakfish, sheepshead, bluefish, tuna, and many more. On some episodes we talk in detail about how to catch flounder, while on others we will take a deep dive into saltwater fishing gear. While our home area ranges from DE to NY, we will speak with guests throughout the east coast. If you find value in the podcast, or are entertained please consider following the podcast, sharing with friends, and leaving a great review. All of these help us to reach more anglers and draw more guests! Tight lines!

  • EP 59: Recapping 2025 and Chasing 2026
    Jan 13 2026

    The mics may be scratchy and the coughs unavoidable, but the mission couldn’t be clearer: turn a growing fishing show into a real-world family. We kick off 2026 with an honest 2025 recap, a salute to the Osprey party boat trip that brought chat names to life, and a peek at the download surge that pushed the pod into the top 25% across 64 countries. Numbers aside, the heartbeat is community—connecting anglers, lifting small businesses, and making space for the kind of days you remember years later.

    We lay out a season shaped by intention. Scotty opens up about guiding at full tilt and the toll it took, then sets his north star: more days fishing with his dad, more room to explore new water, and a stronger Sevens Fishing brand that stretches beyond the wheelhouse. We talk sheep’s head roots and the double-digit fish his dad stuck first, then pivot to the bite that surprised us: brackish back-bay stripers loaded with sea lice miles from the inlet. From there, we map real meetups—Fat Dad Fridays before striper opener, late-spring fluke on a party boat, and casual dinners where stories and plans take shape.

    Ambition shows up offshore. We outline a mothership mission that ferries kayaks to mahi pots and football tuna, with safety-first captains, clear skill checks, and spots for boat-only anglers who want in on the action. Add a renewed push into freshwater—trout, muskie, even a noodling idea from the chat—and you get a season that blends salt and stream without losing focus. We also spotlight small-business heroes: Great Bay Outfitters’ serious kayak rigs, smart jig boxes that fix the rig mess, and regional makers worth your dollars before you click any big-box link.

    If you’ve been waiting to jump from comments to real rail space, this is your year. Tap the polls for meetup dates, bring a friend to the fluke trip, and send us the names of local captains and shops we should feature. Subscribe, share this with a fishing buddy, and leave a review to help the Fat Dad family grow. And tell us: what’s your boldest fishing goal for 2026?

  • EP 58: Mastering Trout in Cold Weather with Chris Matuson
    Dec 23 2025

    Send us a text

    Cold winds, canceled boats, and cabin fever don’t have to end your season. We head upstream to chase winter trout in clear, moving water and break down a simple, reliable playbook: ultralight gear, two confidence lures, and the patience to fish slow and low. With Chris Matusin joining Rich, we dig into what holdover trout actually do when temperatures drop and why the best water isn’t the obvious stock truck pull-off, but the bends, seams, and plunge pools where oxygen and food collide.

    We get specific about setups that matter in cold conditions: 4.5- to 5.5-foot ultralight rods, 2- to 4-pound mono, and compact jerkbaits that suspend naturally. Chris explains why a slim 2.5-inch minnow-pattern jerkbait is his first tie-on, how a size 4 Panther Martin with a smooth silver blade digs deeper without tail hair, and when to pivot to a subtle drift with trout magnets or natural-tone PowerBait on size 12–14 hooks. You’ll hear how to place split shot for different flows, watch the line for whisper-light takes, and use casting angles to pass through both primary current and the recirculating eddy where fish wait.

    We also cover cold-weather strategy beyond the tackle: dressing to stay out longer, taking warm-up breaks, and timing trips for mid-morning sun when a tiny temperature bump can flip the switch. Expect a practical map for finding productive stretches—fast water pouring into deeper runs, eddies that feed back upstream, and long glides that stay open while others skim with ice. Whether you’re pivoting from saltwater or returning to roots on PA creeks, you’ll leave with a winter pattern you can trust and a short list of spots to build into your annual milk run.

  • EP 57: Night Bites, Secret Squirrels, & Tackle Truths with Stefanos (Sport Fishing Outlet)
    Dec 16 2025

    Send us a text

    The best fishing conversations start with a simple truth: the right presentation beats the biggest hype. We sit down with Stefanos, the mind behind Sport Fishing Outlet, to unpack what actually works—from cold-river walleye to night-striper missions and land-based fluke that rival boat limits. If you’ve ever wondered why your wrist is moving but your lure isn’t, or how a tiny weight dot can turn a floater into a suspender that hangs in the strike zone, you’re in the right place.

    We start with why night fishing wins more than just solitude. Stripers, fluke, and bass eat differently after dark, and the tactics change with them: listen for topwater slurps, lean into slower swings, and trust subtle taps on the drop. Then we map winter walleye in real detail—identifying river “winter holes” below riffles and dam systems, reading current seams, and watching line in the cold. Stefanos explains how to tune jerkbaits to truly suspend, when to swap to paddletails or flukes, and why the lightest jig you can control often outfishes a brick every time.

    Gear myths get a friendly shake. Rod action matters more than logo: fast tips to snap jigs, moderate bends for cranks and bait. Kayak anglers learn why 7’3” to 7’6” rods save battles at the bow. We cover versatile inshore setups that handle stripers, tog, fluke, and river crossovers without a dozen combos. And yes, color counts—sometimes—but action and profile usually win. The lesson repeats across stories: plan with maps and tides, log your results, and fish lighter and slower than you think.

    We wrap with the heartbeat of a great local shop: conversations that turn curiosity into confidence. SFO’s shelves reflect what anglers actually catch on, not what ads suggest. You’ll hear about their new site, a listener discount, and how to connect at the Philadelphia Fishing Show. If you’re ready to fish smarter this season—night or day, river or surf—press play, take notes, and share the tactic you’re trying first.

    Enjoyed this one? Follow the show, share it with a fishing buddy, and leave a review so more anglers can find us. Then tell us: what’s your confidence lure after dark?
