Caught my first fluke on live mummichog. My girlfriend was standing next to me asking how we do this, being a new type of fishing for us, and I explained while casting “you’ll let the Carolina rig's sinker go down, then pull the line semi-taut, then you’ll feel something weird or slack with the line when there’s a bite (actually starts happening)… ???just like this??? And set the hook like THIS!! (Fish is on)"
💪💪💪 Loll your gf must've been impressed!!
Wow You guys have some excellent Vid equipment! Great Video...very informative as usual
Thanks!
Drift ‘n Dream … love it!!!! Just found the perfect name for my yak 👍
That's what some party boats should be named!
I enjoyed this one a lot roger! I too remember fishing with killies about 5 years ago. Hopefully the bite picks up on the surf in the next few weeks. Can’t wait!
Thanks Nik! we'll be on them out front for sure!
Good stuff bud thanks
One of my ol standbys!!
Back when I could get them I used them for everything!!
I moved from the short so access is more difficult.
Thankfully we have better alternatives now lol
Live bait always catches! Good stuff man
I can do it once every decade lol
For a minute I thought you were going to take out a bobber. Entertaining and educational as always. 👍 enjoy them all - boat, kayak, shore or catch and cook. All good stuff.
Yeah that's never, ever going to happen LOL...thank you!!!
Actually I have to say slip bobber fishing with a killie for fluke is fun. I've done it in 10ft of water
if he ever fished with a bobber it would be on a tsunami setup..lol
@@termite122 🤣
Great video! I haven’t fished with killies in years. The fluking has been so slow this year. Eastern N. Shore LI. I think mainly due to water clarity. I’m going to give this a shot this week. Thanks!
This week is feeling pretty fishy - good luck!
Great content as usual. Got a lot out of it. I'll stick with the gulp for now!
Good decision lol
Live killies outfished gulp 3:1 on Saturday at this same spot. Well, close to this spot. Not only did the killies outfish, they got the bigger fish while jerk shads caught all shorts. Fish seemed generally lethargic so maybe the rain, east wind, and 59 degree temps had something to do with it. Likely an anomaly, but in my view worth noting.
It could seem that way early season in sub 60F water - I mean no offense saying this but it does matter how you're jigging that gulp. My experience is once you get that cold water technique down the average size is night and day vs killies. Ofc it's fishing so many exceptions to every rule.
@@CookingandFishing Fair points and no offense taken.
One difference between the two is the cost of killies is negligible as I live on the Shrewsbury River. Thanks for another good, well edited video!
I think even if you buy them it comes out cheaper lol...
I just moved to the VA Beach area and I was surprised how cheap killies are here. I think they're $3 a dozen. And they're probably easy to catch in a minnow trap. I catch them in a cast net.
Enjoyable video Roger, practically in my backyard.. some bigger fish downriver, but current is stronger as u head east. Take care,,, Larry Hartattack
Did not know this about killies. Always had them in water. Aha moment,... thanks. Only been fishing with them off and on for 40 years. (grin)
🤣
You inspired me to get some Gulp jerk shads for flounder around the VA Beach area. Hopefully they'll work.
Roger. Have you experimented with the 7” jerk shad? They are hard to come by in a smaller package. I can only seem to find them in a pint size.
The 7" JS was my go to Ambrose bait back in the day - they were discontinued and now brought back. Not a bait I use from shore, you need different gear just to throw it, the thing weighs over an oz alone iirc - the 6" is perfect.
@@CookingandFishing I actually want to try it out from the boats in deeper depths , with a single jig head. I think it would be killer. Like you said , Ambrose rips 👍🏼
good content as usual...im sure u have used gulp shrimp at sumpoint..reason i mention it is because i fish alot of the same areas you do and i have one spot in particular that i fish alot and that spot is the only place ive fished where early season with hardly any bait around that new penny color gulp shrimp on your typical single jig has just punished fluke! those magical days if you didnt have gulp shrimp dont bother fishing..ive experimented alot on those days by using other forms of gulp and not even close to the hookup ratio..ive only had a handful of those days but my goodness the bite on those days with the rite conditions was just ridiculous..like triple digit numbers ridiculous which im sure people who read this are gonna say bullshit but im sure you know those kinda days are possible with rite equipment and technique..this yr its been on fire thank god compared to last yr for me anyway..
I'm trying to think if I've ever used the shrimp...I don't think I have lol...it could've been a profile thing or a color thing, my official PB was caught on a new penny grub ages ago. Time to hunt down some new penny jerk shads!
I love fishing with killies
Excelente vídeo and tutorial on how to fish killies , thank you 😊
How do you feel about the Hobie Lynx kayak?
My favorite kayak so far - it's like an i11s that won't pop and sink lol...I had the outback and didn't care for it.
I never knew those fish could be kept like that.Good to know.
Yup! By far the easiest way to keep them frisky all day
Thank you for your content.We boat fish a lot Eastern Long Island bays. Wind with tide incoming or outgoing morning is my favorite conditions. My wife likes squid spearing standard fluke rig, We both fish shimano twin powers with Skinner, Dark matter rods 15 pound braid 20 pound leader mono . I would like your opinion.I fish, both 5inch gulp bucktail on hi lo and 4inch on teaser with accurist on a 2nd jig bounce rod. On the spinner Ill use single w jig strip and spearing. This year shes high hook w a 6 pound 26 in. . I've got one 23 in. 3.5 lb. The ratio of keepers to shorts is about 20: 1 this year for us.. What is your view on best rig bait for Eastern Long Island Bays to increase keeper ratio with our rods? I also fish high low with the bucktail and teaser top or straight single wgulp. I think I know the answer but I find sometimes the big ones come up and grab the teaser. Thank you
Variety in content is good. Imo.
I agree :)
I still use live bait depending on the situation. Sometimes crowds will prevent you from really working the Gulp properly so I'll adapt.
I mentioned this in another video but I still have an issue with the Gulp when the bait is so thick in the water that you can walk on it. I have to give up, net the live bait and I will slay them that way. Also I will say live mullet can be killer in Sept at times.
That said Jerkshad Gulp is best by far overall for weeding out small fish.
There are ways to catch blitzing fluke on lures, hopefully I get to capture the footage this year
My friends think I’m nuts when I told them about a trip close to an inlet where I saw birds diving and when I got closer there were fluke chasing bait to the surface like blues or bass. It wasn’t just a few fish but a few dozen. As I watched in awe I quickly grabbed my stick and made a few casts in and around the blitz but they didn’t want to hit my bucktail and before I could change lures it was over! In all my 55 years worth of angling I have never seen fluke blitz like this and chase the bait to the top especially when the water in that particular area was between 15-25 foot deep!
@@JigEmUp You missed your chance at topwater fluke lol!
Drop-shot with killies! I would be stressed out about gut hooking them-that’s why I don’t enjoy wet fly fishing for trout. I guess with fluke you have a window to set the hook shallow…still it would stress me out. Great video though
Feel the bite, reel down and set the hook - you'll have very few if any gut hooked fish.
Hi Roger,another great vid. Question. I fish off a jetty where it’s at least 10-20ft deep. When it rips, it super hard to even a keep a half ounce down. Unfortunately the Gammy round jig only tops out at 3/8. Any recs for ball style jigs in 1 oz?
What hook remover did you use? I clinked on the link and an error message came up.
link fixed.
Do chickens cluck?
Don't need to watch this clip. BOTH catch a lot...... If you can fish.
What’s up I’ve been emailing you for a private lesson
