- Jumbo fluke (summer flounder) fishing NJ wrecks on the Big Mohawk party boat.
Catching some good-sized summer flounders on my favorite head boat. Sticky bottoms with fast drifts require heavier jigs to hold bottom. Left my bay and shore jigging outfits at home and had to use up to 4 oz bucktail at times. After struggling during the first drift, the captain gave me a couple of pointers which got me dialed in and ended up with a limit of fluke and sea bass. Winning the pool by a hair at the end was the icing on the cake :).
Main setup:
Rod: St Croix Avid Inshore
Reel: Shimano Stradic CI4+
Line: Powerpro 15lb hi-vis yellow
Jigs and Bucktails from 2 to 4 oz
Gulp 6" grubs
RIP Capt and sorry for your loss never got a chance to fish with him but heard he was such a great guy and very helpful as we seen
This brings back a lot of memories,I used to fish on these boats 40yrs. Ago
Perfect party boat trip, splitting that pool with the mate is classy AF too...did you sleep overnight in the parking lot to grab the pulpit spot??
Thanks Roger! Got real lucky with that pool fish, lol. Nah, didn't sleep overnight. Got to the boat at around 4 AM. Surprised one of the pulpit spot was available.
@@dingfishing1186 4am...things are getting soft on the party boat fleet haha...and limit + pool ain't luck!
dustin payton and young mike are some of the best mates around. im itching to get back on the mohawk for fluke. nice video
Yes they are awesome. Thanks!
To each there own. The mates are awesome. Captain no thanks!
@@brendanwoerner3352 easily top 7 captain in the entire state. Fished all over the state. I always wind up back on the mohawk.
I really enjoyed watching this video. Thanks!
thank you!
Perfect! Big Mohawk domination just in time for lunch break!
Thanks Marc!
awesome good for you..nice video..the fluke action certainly has picked up thank god..
Thanks buddy. You're right this year's fluke season started very slow
Nice video man. Your always cleaning up on the jigs up there. I don’t go on the Mohawk anymore due to a bad experience I had on there but that’s a great video. You were using 4oz on the St. Croix Avid? That’s awesome the heavy action is rated up to 2oz glad you were able to jig with 4oz. Did you limit? That’s awesome
Thanks Brendan. Sorry hear about your bad experience. To answer your question, yes I was able to jig 4 oz with the avid inshore mh. However, the rod did feel a little noodly with that much weight. Had to slow down the jigging motion , can't snap jig like with lighter jigs.
Dingthings Fishing oh I thought you had the Heavy action. The MH is a little light for that but glad you got the job done.
haha yes, the Heavy action would have been better with that much weight.
This is great information on headboat. I see too many people coming on headboat and fish with tackles like they fish bass fishing, charter fishing or pier fishing with not enough weight and too heavy or lite of tackle. They wind up tangling and catching very little to none. How many ounce jig did the capt have you used for this trip?
thx, 1.5 to 3 oz used depending on the depth/drift speed
I used to fish the Jamaica boats out of Brielle,also the super cat out of Atlantic highlands does anybody remember these boats?
Been on the Jamaicas, they're still running strong
Dingthings Fishing another boat out of Belmar was the Spray 3 ,we used to go on overnight cod trips in the winter,the boat had a wood burning stove to keep us warm ,this was 40 years ago ,is that boat still there ?
No more Spray 3 in Belmar. Tim, you're a true old-timer. 😆 can't imagine wood burning stove on a head boat lol
Dingthings Fishing ask around ,true story,we used to take turns knocking the ice off the railings it would put to much weight on the boat,I remember sliding up and down the boat,it was a lot of fun !!!
I used to bang out potato bags of ling and sea bass aboard the Paramount. My favorite highlands boat is the Fishermen!
Lmao gotta love Chris. First thing I hear "Holy shit there is a God" when you set the hook on that fish. I've heard that before too, lol.
yes he's hilarious and always entertaining, watch out for his elbow though, lol
