YES! Finally, fishing videos from a pro that are really about fishing, not bragging, whining, or advertising. Thanks Randy for making these vids! 20 years ago, vids like this cost $20 on VHS or DVD. Today they are free! Keep them coming Sir!
Randy, I can’t thank you enough for your valuable information on flukes. By far this is the most detailed fluke tutorial I can find. I already book marked and save it as my fluke fishing Bible. Thank you so much.
Arkansas shiner is my favorite color. Also I prefer the original 4 inch fluke as opposed to the Super Fluke. With the original you can rig it on a drop shot and tear em up in the hottest months.
Thanks Randy one of your best videos yet. Im in the South Florida area and never really spent much time in Flukes. In fact I just stated to fishing them more serious and watching you here today, learning how to use it, I learned so much from you today that would’ve taken me months to learn. If you can make more videos like this about other Baits, it would be fantastic. I really enjoyed this because you covered it all from soup to nuts, everything about it, what hooks to use, how to use it, colors, etc. Thats what we need more of, thanks again keep making great ones
Hey there! Firstly, I'm really enjoying the fresh format of your seminar videos. Fluke Fishing Techniques: * Traditional: I've begun using the popular method of a small jig head, similar to what walleye fishermen do. * Neko Rig: I've had a lot of success with neko rigging the fluke. Specifically, I use a 1 or 1/0 redline VMC seedless Neko hook combined with a VMC crossover ring and a 1/32 oz nail weight. Using Yamamoto D shads this way, I've landed over 100 bass, including a 5.5 lb one in a small pond! * Hover Strolling Hook: Another technique I've been exploring. * Drop Shot with Minnow Style Flukes: This has been effective when fish are just 1-2 feet off ledges or by drop-offs near the bank. I generally use 4-5” minnow style flukes on a drop shot with a 1/0 or 2/0 owner down shot offset hook. Kalin’s jerk shads (4 or 5”) work perfectly for this method. I aim to keep them 1-2 feet off the bottom. Would love for you to give these a shot and share your thoughts. Keep up the great work! 😊
Hello Randy, these are great lesson videos! Thanks! Also, I’ve been watching the ads all the way through, and I am 100% convinced that RUclips doesn’t want that. Now many of my ads here are way long ones. It’s as if they(Algos) are trying to make me push skip. I will make them pay😂
I was about to think you forgot about the Fluke for bass busting on the surface. It will catch them when they won’t hit other top water lures. I’ve also had great success using a double Fluke rig, especially for top water action. The first time I fished a Sluggo was 30+ years ago on Lake Monticello in Texas. I caught one over 5 lbs on one my first cast with it. Another tremendous video, Randy. Thank you so much.
😮 That's what I love about fishing! This guy has caught a million bass in his life < But theirs just single things that you remember from 35 years ago ! Dont ask me the date ?But I remember where I caught that 5lber < 😅😅😅😅
Flukes are killers in the saltwater for a whole bunch of species. So these rigging tricks and hacks are really good for me to learn. I've been using them on weedless underspin hooks or on jig heads and catching redfish, trout and flounder. I also caught the smallest cobia I've ever seen on one with an underspinner about a month ago. They're very good for snook and tarpon in Florida too.
Thanks again Randy. I look forward to these advanced methods. I've tried the fluke in most iterations except for the Carolina rig. Makes sense and plan on using it. Thanks.
Hey! I like these long format videos. Another idea might be doing long videos on fishing certain areas/types of cover. I don't have much experience and am invited to join a friend at LOZ so being able to watch a comprehensive video on fishing docks would be awesome.
Buzzbait vs walking is easy. Walking bait has trebble hooks therefor not weed less he's for open water. Buzzbait is alot more weedless and moves faster. He's better in and around cover.
Tried the nose hook technique with the cps spring and caught my 1st Largemouth on it today. In my kayak with a spinning rod its tough to set the hook on a heavier ewg hook so I gave this method a try. It works!
Thks for another great video. question- you are strongly against the braid to Fluoro in part because you say the fish can see the braided line. Why wouldn’t the same fish be spooked by the rigging of a Carolina rig? 36:33 ‘
In Commiefornia, we've mastered the fluke. We've also adapted them from striper fishing. This includes, but not limited to boiling your flukes, adding hackles, scenting, adding sounds, etc. Tho shall not come at me. I will render yall on the quick quick.
Thanks for the great info you provide. I really enjoy your insights. I recently purchased your fall map breakdown for Smith Mountain Lake but am having difficulty transferring it to my Lowrance Elite FS9. This is the first one I have purchased. For some reason it is saying the file format is not recognized. Any help would be appreciated.
I'll probably never meet you on this rock, but because of what Jesus did for us, I'll look forward to fishing in Heaven with ya! Thanks for the knowledge brother
Love these longer, info-filled videos. Thanks for the info

One of the best fishin channels !!!
This was a MUCH needed channel.

Thanks Randy, another GREAT tutorial....
I’ve fished a fluke for years. I picked up some good information. I’d never thought about flipping it. Got to try that for sure.
Thanks a lot Randy for your advices.
That okeechobee story was great!
Randy, one of my favorite baits. The natural random darts makes it unique and irresistible. Thanks for taking to the time to focus on fluke/slug-go.

Slug go was my favorite!
Coming out of the bottom is such a game changer. I started doing that after one of your videos last year. Thanks Randy
Excellent!
Wow! The open water vs fishing structure part really opened my eyes on working a fluke better!!!

Randy needs a dam crayola sponsorship as much as he colors all his baits 😂

Love the content!
There are Snook and Tarpon in Okkechobee
That's crazy I never knew that.
Love these long video randy! Will you please do a video (long one) on crankbait vs lipless. Spinnerbait vs. Underspin. Buzzbait vs. Walking. Etc
Buzzbait vs walking is easy. Walking bait has trebble hooks therefor not weed less he's for open water. Buzzbait is alot more weedless and moves faster. He's better in and around cover.
Billed crankbaits deflect off cover where lipless baits do not. That one is easy also
Tried the nose hook technique with the cps spring and caught my 1st Largemouth on it today. In my kayak with a spinning rod its tough to set the hook on a heavier ewg hook so I gave this method a try. It works!
Fished sluggos and jelly worms a lot in the late 70’s and 80’s.
Id like to see one on the Carolina rig someday

Exalent fact's

Zoom has a really cool color called houdini that works well for me in southern AZ.
Great seminar! Randy, when carolina rigging, have you used any zman fluke style baits to take advantage of their buoyancy?
Haven’t tried it
Hambone, blue glimmer and baby bass all ya need. Dont sleep on that jr size y'all 😎
That pearl fluke so old it turned yellow 😂
Do you bury the eye of the hook and knot in the fluke or keep it out???
You can do either
I'll probably never meet you on this rock, but because of what Jesus did for us, I'll look forward to fishing in Heaven with ya! Thanks for the knowledge brother
