About Fat Dad Fishing Show

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 81: 9 Tips for Successfully Fishing at Night

   EP 80: What If The “Bad Fluke Season” Is You?

   Send us Fan Mail Fluke season has anglers arguing like it’s a sport of its own, especially along New Jersey from LBI down toward Cape May. One crew posts double digits, the next crew calls it a ghost town, and the comment section jumps straight to blame. We slow it all down and ask a better question: what if the fish are here, but the conditions are forcing you to fish differently than last summer? Dave and I dig into the “tons of shorts, barely any keepers” reality and why that alone can ma...

   EP 79: 7+ Tips to Catch Weakfish with George Bucci

We dig into why weakfish are stil...

EP 77: Spring-To-Summer Saltwater Fishing Playbook with Badfish Charters OC

Published 24 Jun 2026 · Transcript excerpt

[…] I think it's just more understanding how they relate to the currents and things like... temperature, which is an important thing. We had a conversation about this last week. Now, I do think that generally the depths change season to season. So as we get into the warmer weather and the warmer waters, they're going to go deeper because they need more oxygen in the water and everything. But we are literally in a between stage. I mean, they are comfortable everywhere. And that's a problem for fishermen. Yeah. But even in the warmer months, sometimes think about where the food is. Yeah. Yeah.
