So I only been fishing for 2 and half years. I never fish for flounder. I watch your video today... I went to the pier and caught 5 flounder back to back keeper size. Thank you soo much. Brotha.❤❤❤
I tried this rig this past Saturday for the first time, and the result was 15 flounder and two keeper. So happy with this rig. Thank you so much for sharing.
Thanks for an awesome video guys! It's always great to get some local knowledge. This is absolutely one of the best videos I've watched on rigs, flounder, techniques and more.....all done in 15 minutes! Not to mention that y'all show what your talking about....keep up the great work!
Thank you, I appreciate that. I try to keep things simple, honest, and effective on here. I thought 16 minutes was a long video but I'm glad we could help. Thanks for stopping by 🤙🏼
Headed back to Florida, for the 28th year on vacation....always fish live bait in Fox's Cut at Beverly Beach, from a boat dock..... can't wait to try your rig..... going the first of Aug. For two weeks.....thanks.....tom
Very cool! I haven't fished Florida a lot but I've had ppl from all over use this rig with success. From the east coast to the west, from Finland to south America its pretty cool that fish will bite on it no matter where you're at 🤙🏼
Man that was simple hey I appreciate you guy's with this video really most folks have no idea about how to flounder fish or atless my opinion I shur would like to come fishing with y'all sometime
Elkton/St. Augustine Fl and the biggest Sheepshead I’ve ever landed was 6.5lbs off the Bridge of Lions fender! Love your channel and thank you for sharing all of the great info
You guys have the BEST attitude. So informative! Thank you so much!! Reminds me of my paw paw from Louisiana. I miss fishing with him so much. Thanks dudes!! 👍🏼🙏👌🏼👌🏼
Great informational video! Thanks Ruben and captain Cody. Anchor fishing makes sense. I can relate to this. If you’ve ever waded in debris areas littered with rocks. Releases flounder and watch which direction he goes. A good percentage of the time they will go right up against the debris. If you wanna catch these fish you have to think like them. Or at least I tell myself that lol
Super good video. I really get what you are saying and plan on using this information. wish me luck. I am headed down to Galveston in a couple of weeks. Thanks again!
Great instructional video buddy. I try to comment on as many videos as I can because honestly all of your videos are great and you are funny as heck man. I usually watch your videos at night when I'm in bed watching them on tv so I can't comment on them that way, I have to go to my computer to drop a comment but know that your videos by far are my favorites. You should try stand up. LOL
Lol well thank you sir. I really appreciate that. I try to keep thing light & simple...as far as me being funny I just love to laugh. I laugh at myself the most, which in my mind gives me a pass to laugh at everyone else 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks again🤙🏼
Thanks for the video, I’ve always used a tandem dropper loop rig but will definitely give this a try. It’s an easier rig to tie and I’m liking adding the palomar at the end of loop for more bait action, plus one hook saves on Gulp 👍🏻👍🏻🎣
Awesome, sounds great! Yes tandem are great rigs too but sometimes they don't want to hit the tandem so I'm always ready with this rig & if they're not hitting this rig I'll switch. You have to keep changing it up& see what they want 💯🤙🏼
Wow excellent info and demonstration in the water. Loved it alot of good info. Have it synced in my brain, now. Will try that set up and going to get some new hooks and 1 oz weights. Thanks both of ya, stay fishing or like Cody said catching
Awesome! Glad to help... I've caught hundreds of flounder with this rig since last year. It's a great rig to have tied on, not to say you shouldn't try other setups but this is definitely my go to
I thought I had every bit of advice and information I needed for gulf flouder fishing, i have notes written down to a science and all the rigs pre tied for when i do go out next to fish them but i guess I'll have to add this single hook rig into the rotation as well. It's really not that different just one hook less and I agree maybe itll save a little money on gulp/curly tails.
This is a great rig to use. Plus sometimes the fish want to see something different so for flounder it's perfect. Toss the single lure, the tandem, and this one... killer! Just great to be able to offer a different presentation
Hey there, informative video. TY. I am heading to Galveston to visit my cousin who has a nice CC. What is the best rig/bait for this time of year? Where can we find summer flounder? In NY, we have summer flounder aka "fluke" season starting to heat up. Are the techniques the same? Early season, we do skinny water than move to the ocean. TIA
I like to use a similar rig, but instead of a weight at the bottom, I use a bucktail tipped with a soft plastic or Gulp swimming mullet. Good for areas where you don't have to worry about snags. A good percentage of fish will hit the bucktail.
very interesting - i learned from old school guys a generation ahead of me that fished the GB system in the 1960's/70's using more of a carolina type set up - i love the way this rig presents the bait - but on first glance I would fear that the 1 oz weight hitting the bottom like that would distract/spook the flounder - but the proof is in the experts so I cant wait to try this!
I thought the same thing, I said aren't you going to hit them in the head lol. I like to use a half ounce mostly with this rig but either way it works. Thanks again 🤙🏼
Thanks for watching. Yea its called a chatter weight. They come in very handy for sound & you can use them for any lure. I use them a lot tie them to my main line & my leader line then the I'm using. And in this video we did the same thing tie them to the main line & then tie the rig to the other end. If that makes sense lol. I buy them from Academy but I'm sure you can find them at any sporting good store that sales fishing products. Here's an Amazon link but just so you can see what they are. Academy sells them for much cheaper. amzn.to/3M4lpoI
To keep the full last longer, I also saw, with the hooks that lock it.... Before you push those points through, you turn the bait then push it through. Them you turn it back the right way and the points will catch fresh gulp
Drop shot rig for halibut or flounder is killer. That’s what I use all day around structures. Sandy bottoms, surf, jetty’s, I use the drop shot rig and lucky craft 110 so minnows
@@TexasAllWaterFishing Alaska halibut fishing…. Boring. It’s like rock fishing. So cal and nor cal is good. Cause just like flounders… they both fight and try to break you off is the fun
I’m not good at flounder fishing by any means, but I have been getting my limit every time at seawolf park. I use a tandem rig with gulp and I don’t jig, I just reel in slowly and that is how I got my flounders all the time.
That's awesome. We still fish with tandem & single rig setups. This offers an additional rig to use. For instance today I was going to fish with a tandem but I couldn't get any thing to bite. I switched to this rig & started fishing faster & caught around 12 flounder. Tight lines & thanks for watching 🤙🏼
Flounder are located in a staggering variety of environments, and their behavior reflects this. Not only that, but there are other species which will happily take the baits YOU intend for flounder and this needs to be considered as well. I can't imagine that one particular rig is best for ALL flounder fishing.
I will fish for flounder with 3 basic types of Setups and for me this one has worked extremely well. Sometimes they want to see different presentations. But cast vs hook up, this rig is my personal go to. We all have different options of what we like to throw. I have nothing but great feedback from most people after making this video. Of course there's always one person here & there that will disagree with something that's said but that's with everything. Thanks for watching 🤙🏼
Capt. Cody, what percent of the time do you use a chatter weight when flounder fishing? Is there any time you would not use a chatter weight on your flounder rig? Thanks, very good video!
This is the kind of rig I was catching flounder on at SWP. What makes the difference is how the hook is tied on. Instead of being right on the line like a typical drop shot its extended a few inches. Perfect for flounder. I use a circle hook, set it hard like he says, and Ive hooked em good every time. Only flounder I've lost was when one ran into the rock while I stopped reeling to get better footing and it snagged me. Listen to the guides/Cap.'s. They know a thing or 2. You'll catch more fish when theyre kind enough to share.
Awesome! In a short time I've been using it it has caught me a lot of fish. I was really surprised how effective it was. I tend to fish at a fast pace being a kayak fisherman. You have to fish fast most of the time due to current & wind pushing while you're trying to fish a stop. So this rig really helps me stay in contact with the bottom. Thanks again & thanks for watching 🤙🏼
Great video. I have 2 questions for you, when you fishing for flounder and said you want jerk that rod real hard to set the hook but what if a trout has the hook in its mouth and your going to rip that hook right out of its mouth so how can you tell what’s on the other end of your line? Last question, when I’m fishing with this rig do you use live/dead bait or have you used a plastic shrimp bait with this rig?
All good questions, for the most part flounder will give you a slight bump or tap. I slowly raise my rod tip up to feel if it's heavy. And if it is heavy like you're dragging something it's a flounder. I quickly lower my rod tip and reel in my slack line, then quickly set the hook hard and fast. You can use live or dead bait, I like using gulp but any soft plastic works too. I've even used Vudu Shrimp, works great.
Man, I wish there was a way for us channel members to meet up and have some beers and a fish fry, that way we could all swap knowledge and stories and potentially fish together in the future. I understand that this isn't ideal at the moment because of the virus, but one day that would be cool. I typically have an extra spot on the Shallow Sport that I know could be filled by someone who could potentially teach me a thing or two. Hope to see you out there one day. Cheers!
This spring or last spring I was going to start doing meet ups & open invites. Of course covid killed that. I'm really hoping that I can start that up soon 🤞🏻Personally I would hate for anyone to have a covid scare that just attended anything with the channel. But I will say this. Cody & I are going to be part of something were we will offer something similar but on a smaller scale. I can't say yet but it's coming soon. Something we haven't seen in Texas but it's going to be very cool
New to flounder fishing , Definitely gonna give this a try. Any advice on hook size , this could be a question for whom ever reads this to help me out....Thanks in Advance
After a couple of years using this rig, I'd have to say it's extremely effective. I typically use a 2-3 size hook. Keep in mind when fishing if something isn't working change it up. This is my #1 rig for flounder fishing, then I like to tandem if the flounder aren't biting, then single jig head if they still won't bite. Good luck & tight lines

Yea I like it too. It holds the hook well
This is an awesome video. Thank you for sharing!!
You are so welcome! I hope it helps hooking up to some flatties! 🤙🏻
That helps. Lots of tips. Much useful information.
Glad it was helpful!
Been fishing this rig with bull minnows for 20 plus years, very effective.
It works great for me too 🤙🏼
Thankyou Both. I've been wanting to learn how to catch more flounder. God Bless, Tom
Thanks. This last flounder season I couldn't tell you how many flounder I caught using this rig. 🤙🏼

Thanks! I'm glad we could help. Thanks for watching and tight lines 🤙🏼
We love this rig y’all ! Works great
Thanks, its such a solid rig to have up your sleeve & use it when you need it🤙🏼
That’s what I’ve started using for fishing at the jetties, and even if I do get hung up I don’t lose all my tackle.
Right! That's why I like it, saves me money & time from having to re tie everything
Great tips, thanks guys
You bet! Thanks for watching!
Great explanation and great video brother!!! Thank you
Thanks, I'm glad you like it 🤙🏼
Nunca he tenido problemas con este fluorocarbono, para ser etiqueta azul es muy bueno.
I tried that one lately & I lost 2 reds. They broke off. I'm not sure what happened. If I loss another fish in it I'm throwing it away lol
Great video guys
Glad you enjoyed it
Great rig/advice! I always used a small sinker B/4 the hook. THANKS!
It works 🤙🏽
Good information!
@@ronnstone7023 thanks!
This method works very well from the shore too.

Thanks guys I will definitely try this rig
You really should, its been my main rig this flounder season. Thanks for watching 🤙🏼

Cody & I are going to be part of something were we will offer something similar but on a smaller scale. I can't say yet but it's coming soon. Something we haven't seen in Texas but it's going to be very cool
@@TexasAllWaterFishing Sounds like y'all are all over it. Looking forward to whatever y'all got cooking. Tight lines!
New to flounder fishing , Definitely gonna give this a try. Any advice on hook size , this could be a question for whom ever reads this to help me out....Thanks in Advance
After a couple of years using this rig, I'd have to say it's extremely effective. I typically use a 2-3 size hook. Keep in mind when fishing if something isn't working change it up. This is my #1 rig for flounder fishing, then I like to tandem if the flounder aren't biting, then single jig head if they still won't bite. Good luck & tight lines
Thank you for the info🎣
No thank you for watching 🤙🏼
