This channel is all about helping more people catch more fish...in less time. Not everyone can spend day after day on the water hoping to find fish so these videos try to not only show catches, but some "how to fish" tactics and strategies to help you maximize your time on the water.
Fat Dad Fishing is focused primarily on inshore fishing in the mid-Atlantic area with special focus on Flounder (Fluke) and Striped Bass (Striper), but will also touch on other common local species including Tautog (Tog), Bluefish, Sheepshead, Triggerfish, etc.

Great vids, Ed. Subscribed! It’s my first year jetski/ kayak fishing after about 5 years of shore and surf fishing. I loke your techniques. Super simple.
In the south, are they fishing that way because they have southern flounder and not summer flounder? I thought those were a different species which lived on shallow grass flats, etc instead of deep contours.
great videos - thank you. im from Ma - and am planning a trip to fish Great Bay end of october -- any advice? - your welcome to join us in Ma - or Rhode Island this fall for the fall run - stripers, blues, bonito, and albies - jrh
South Mississippi here… I just found ,and watched this video and the only thing I disagree with what you said is about flounder are less likely to bite in shallow waters during summer… We caught a two man limit (20) this past Tuesday 8/20/24 in a foot to three feet of water fishing marsh grass banks! The surface temperature here is 82 to 89 degrees… I been catching flounder for approximately 50 years now ( I’m 62) and always have success anytime I target flounder… Most of your information is correct and I agree with though brother. Thank you, 🕷️
I catch them on my kayak in Florida inshore all around wood docks and cement bridge pilings that have barnacles on them, you have to find the barnacles because that’s what they eat
The 8th Street jetty I was there today 7/2/24 got 2 keeper fluke and my 1 weakie your aloud to keep 23 in 2.7 lbs. jesus is the rock. Great video. Great job keeping the kids
Hey Ed! Curious as to where you’re launching down in AC. I’m further north (‘Squan) and want to venture further south but not familiar with kayak launches down there. Thanks!
Just find a meal prep container that fits cut the back out and you can use the lid which you can still see through a bit cover if it starts raining or just to keep it out of the elements while out and about. No need to heat bend just measure twice cut the back out and Velcro it to the back edge drill 3 small holes for air flow for condensation on the bottom. Takes about 10 minutes
Hey Ed, I got the Tsunami SaltX hooks, awesome hooks with an even better price. Caught a 16 pounder this past week end on them. Super sharp and they haven't really gotten dull from structure in 3 trips, same hooks. 👍👍 also pulled up an 18.5 on the skinner rod, handled it no problem.
It’s 1-24-24 I’m watching this podcast I’m familiar with all 3 of you guys and a member of SaltStrong Throughly enjoy all your videos Thanks hopefully we’ll all meet someday Thanks guys 🎣
Bayside Dave has been awesome. I am a 70 year old Pennsylvania retiree. Got into surf fishing late but was a throw out and wait guy off the beach. Mainly OC NJ. Kind of disgusted. Wanting to increase my capabilities but need to drive from Pa to the beach. Great podcast guys!
@FatDadFishing gotcha started following you today , all the 27 yrs living in lbi never fished ac but definitely like to link up & try it out for fluke sheepshead n tog .
give me a holler and maybe we can get out together. Jump in on the Live stream tonight at 8pm as well if you have time. Would be good to meet you through the chat.
Missed this last night (fell asleep early - the price of being old) - great conversation with a GREAT guy who is an absolute killer Captain and a better person I’m proud to call my friend.
changing directs on half hitch's definitely weekend the knot. by changing directions produces a smaller bend radius which is the cause of the week spot.
We threw everything at them except the kitchen sink, and we had a lot of laughs, even making fun of ourselves. I wanted to mention that the tournament was also focused on honoring our Veterans, and Veterans Day. Dave raised money and had food donations from local businesses, and they had a huge spread of food for the Veterans and tournament participants.
The silicone will stay on the kayak. It lasted over a year before I pulled it off and put new on. Turns out you don't even need it though. But it will stick.
