My cousin Marc's first feature of 2019: Winter flounder madness!
Some salvaged footage of his PB, an 18"+ winter flounder caught from shore, and some non-stop fishing action for this tasty, albeit endangered, species. We've featured a few catch and cooks with winter flounder in the past, but knowing what we know now about the state of the biomass...it's all catch and release going forward.
Here's a summary of studies by Stony Brook's Fisk Lab, showing just how dire the situation is: you.stonybrook...
Here's a short article by Charles Witek, summarizing the decades of inaction by regulators on the winter flounder problem: conservefish.or...

Those gulps you throwing in the water can kill the fish if they can't digest it and you can still reuse them if you place them back in the container with the gulp liquid!
Hey man, great video. Just found your channel. Definitely a bucket list fish for me. Season opened yesterday, my daughter and i tried, no luck tho. I subbed ya man. good video!
Thanks! We haven't tried for them in the Spring, from what I hear it's pretty hit or miss
@@CookingandFishing yea man. We're gonna try again this weekend. We're determined, lol. You have some great videos man, awesome recipes. Keep em coming
You guys are always so dialed in!! Fine work
haha thanks! you're obviously only seeing the successful moments...although, my herring catch/cook video was a flounder trip from hell
great vid and i enjoyed fishin with ya ... thanks for the good memories... new sub here
welcome!
Awesome video they're such an underrated fish and super delicious better than fluke in my book! 2017 was the first time I've caught them on my favorite party boat fishing the mud hole for ling! My first 2 ever were 19 and 18 inches that June trip my first 2 drop downs, then my PB was caught late August just shy of 20 inches! I never caught one from shore before definitely on the bucket list, I guess I just need to do my homework to fine the right place. I'm originally from South Jersey but I know the chances to catch one increases the further north you go!
Those big offshore flounder are amazing, and luckily...in pretty good shape. Inshore winter flounder are in big trouble, perhaps irreversible decline into extinction...that's why we don't keep any more flounder, and barely target them these days. Still, a very fun fish and I agree, much more delicate than fluke as tablefare!
Same here! Some of the biggest flounder i've seen caught were on wreck trips out in the mudhole. They certainly are a different breed than those found inshore. You can find them in just about any body of inshore water. And they should be easy to catch now that the water is warm!
That's very informative , I just assumed they migrate from back in forth from inshore to offshore depending on the time of year! Now that I know , I will not target them from shore and practice catch and release if caught , but when I'm offshore that's a different story!
where was this filmed? I'm in Boston and we are just getting into winter flounder fishing season up here now
I fish for these fish in maine. Usually at night and just spot them with a bright light at night and let them take some clam on a flounder rig. I don’t know anyone else who fishes for them in maine.
I have tried but with little luck. I know some people that try for them more than the stripers.
Do you catch any flounder in Maine. I was fishing bug light park today. No luck.
Fishing N.E. Waters It’s tough. Any bays around the mouth of rivers would be a good bet.
@@520angling5 yeah I heard their numbers back in the day were amazing. I know you can catch some in Massachusetts. Personally never caught one. Down south got it made though.
@@fishingn.e.waters8525 there's a few catches on Fishbrain on the the Spring Point breakwater and Fisherman's Point at Willard Beach
What state was this in, because I live on long island and never really seen people catch flounder from shore
Hey Marc stop polluting. Muhaha
OMG it's gulp gahhhhh
@@shore-moneyfishing1939 why dont you use them again?
Man I had tried gulp alive 4’ so many time. To the points, people think I was weird because they all use real sea worm. I never had luck using gulp alive and gulp sans worm. I thought these winter flounders would eat natural sea worm. I thought their mouth is just too small compare to flunk to eat gulp alive. Glad to see this video, what hook size did you use in this video?
Gulp is more of a warm water flounder bait, once the temps start dropping we use salted clam and mussels. I've never seen a big difference between worms and clams. We're using #4 gammy baitholders.
What tackle are you using for them
I can’t believe they hit the gulp grubs!
as long as it's small enough they'll eat it
They go after gulp too ?
Can you get them on a jig too ?
Shore-money, did you use a chum block?
no chum, basically a down-sized, slower fluke presentation. Gulp in early Fall, salted clams/worms late Fall into winter.
Gulp works like chum so I never needed to use a chum block. However, gulp doesn’t work well in the coldest months. Bait is preferred then with a very slow retrieve. Gulp works very well in the fall and mid spring.
I think it depends on where you're fishing too. If anchored over a mud flat...I can see chumming making a huge difference. Where we were those fish were relating to structure and current, and imo chumming would be superfluous.
Do you know how cold the water is?
No, we didn't get to measure temperature, sorry. I would imagine low 50s during the outgoing on the most recent trip.
Not a good idea to put a fish that you won`t keep on a dry surface. They need skin in good shape to protect them from bacteria and viruses
No argument here...we need a system for spots like that, short of bringing in a fish mat (and keeping it wet).
@@CookingandFishing Thanks. Once in a while, those who publish could use their spot to educate us, the readers or spectators
Why you pollute the water by throwing the plastics.
Gulp isn't plastic...
Its bio-degratable
Lol
Dan The Man yeah but it takes 2 years!
True, I don't throw mine in the water, but still it stinks to criticize someone for something so benign in this day and age when there is so much more screwed up stuff. Rodger and his cousin are in the top percent regarding their care of fish and the environment compared to other anglers. Plus, they are putting themselves out there for your enjoyment. Don't beat up on them, just make a respectful comment.
What does pb mean?
Personal best = pb
Are the gulp biodegradable?
They are, and also non-toxic and entirely water soluble. Here's the patent for it if you want to torture yourself reading: patents.google.com/patent/US20090196849
I’d like a better look at how the rig is set up,specific hook brand etc,,details
gammy baitholders #4 or #6, loop for sinker and a long loop for hook. Easiest rig there is.
wow~
Yes, Gulp is biodegradable, but I don't think that's a good enough reason to just toss them in the waters. They still take 2 years to biodegrade in water, and they still wash up on shore, trash up the waters, and also biodegrade faster in landfills. It's like, yeah, banana peels apple cores are biodegradable but still should be packed out in a campsite. I like your videos a lot because you're knowledgeable but I personally think you're taking a misstep here.

I appreciate the support, but we're just going to have to agree to disagree on this one. I can promise you that it'll be the last time you see either of us throwing gulp in the water on camera lol. One of these conversations is 1 too many! Thanks for watching the video!
I too prefer not seeing gulp among the other litter, man made objects stand out in nature enough already. Small efforts help . My first ever critique of what these fine cousins do.
MOney
lol indeed
Stop littering throwing the plastic baits back in the water and just use a trash can. Please be better
Gulp is not plastic, it's a water based biodegradable material. We would never throw soft plastics into the water, in fact we pick up other people's trash on our trips.
Why do you keep throwing your plastics back in the water? Use the trash🤦🏼♂️
It's gulp.
It's not plastic...
Cooking and Fishing I know what it is. It’s trash.
According to the creator of the Berkley Gulp baits, John Prochnow”, the revolutionary Gulp baits will take about 2 years to disintegrate in saltwater, and around 8-10 months in a well run landfill
@@richdunn9774 Apparently you don't, bc you called it "plastic," which takes upwards of 500 years to break down in the environment, is petroleum based and toxic, vs an entirely water soluble, non-toxic substrate that is gulp. But hey, I don't mind the virtue signaling, you thought you saw something and so you said something...no harm no foul.
Millennials are too stupid to use a trash can. They don't even know how to ID winter flounder.
