With flounder season winding down I hit it hard this week. Not too many numbers but we found a few more good bites. Fished live mullet on Carolina rigs around the docks, jetty, and ocean.

Reaction to personal best southern flounder was priceless. I've never seen you get that excited before, usually, you are calm, cool and collected. Great content. I like fishing with live bait.

@thaddeus46 3 жыл бұрын

You handled that 1st dock flounder like the expert you are. I was in awe. I thought for a second that the netting was gonna be a problem but you cooly adjusted your approach and bagged that big girl. Man, you got the skills. And then that red at the dock. Jaw dropping effort. Completely cool and in control. Kudos to you.

I love your laugh and excitement when you hoke up with a big fish like this doormat. Watching you in the video is like imagining me catching the fish myself. Keep em coming man!!

I like that you are not too proud to make a swap to the live mullet as of lately to get on the fish. It was funny how when the flounder season was out, you caught as many as you could stand and now that its in they wanna be finicky. Anyways, cheers as always - love the content

Great job landing that red from in the docks!!! Not an easy task when your not running the right tackle for it. I was taught to go stout and larger than you think you will need gear wise so you can bully the bigger fish out and end the fight fast. If you don't a game of ring-around-the-piling!!! 😂

@@EliasVFishing That's my backup plan if the usual spot doesn't have flounder on it. We're getting to the point where Spanish are loading up inside the inlets, which is a blessing to us tiny boaters that have a two hour window after work.

How do you locate mackeral ?

@MrJuansWorld 3 жыл бұрын

@@longislandangler6741 Easiest for me this time of year is go bottom fish at the local inlet jetty, and keep a look out for birds diving. Found them last year on incoming tide at a spot (inside the inlet) where the depth goes from 25ft to 7ft pretty fast, like a baitfish funnel. After I found the spot via the birds, I could come back to that spot at the same tide, and the spanish were there just about every time, birds or not. Hope that helps.

We definitely don’t catch the big huge flounder down in the Gulf of Mexico when I get to go down there but I have got on some 15-20 inches but it’s very rare. When the limit was 10 fish at 12 inches long we used to get several limits but never any big fish. The best I’ve ever done is a limit of 10 with the biggest being 22 1/2 inches and the smallest 13 and the rest were 14 to 16 inches.

@Bamapride1000 3 жыл бұрын

I don’t know about you there but down here I’ve noticed the reds have a lot better taste when the water cools down a bit. It’s so noticeable that I enjoy them as much as the flounder nearly when they come from cold water. Notice I said ALMOST lol. Nothing beats a good flounder or trigger fish imo

@EliasVFishing 3 жыл бұрын

I agree, winter redfish off ocean sand are absolutely incredible to eat.

@Bamapride1000 3 жыл бұрын

EliasVFishing I know you’ve said before you didn’t care that much for them and or one have to agree about summer time reds especially shallow water marsh reds in warm water but like you said cold water ocean reds are incredible eating.

@wilsonrawlin8547 2 жыл бұрын

Since no one answered you. I would check out at least 14ft long kayaks with trolling motor features built in. Trolling motor GPS Spot lock is a great feature as well. Sit in is the best vs sit on IMO. More storage space and drier. Get the best seat option and leg room you can find. IMO the most comfortable set up possible. Solid adjustable rod holders. Solid mount point for Nav/Fish finder. RAM mounts are awesome for rod holders and Nav mounts. Best possible storage space. If you want to fish open water a seaworthy hull that can handle rough water. Last but not least. Best balance when standing up and sitting. Also great floor space.

I’ve seen somewhere that flounder target bait fish since they were made to eat bait fish. For instance, a wider mouth and a part on their body that helps them sense vibrations. Have you had more success catching flounder with bait fish or shrimp?
