warren robertson There you go! Share it with your friends and catch 'em up! I have really gotten hooked on flounder fishing (pun intended) We pass up going after a lot of other fish to chase them in the Chesapeake bay. When you are going to fry up a batch, check out my recipe vid for Eastern Shore potatoes!

I bought everything i need to make this rig and I'll be starting my 5 days of fishing tomorrow! I'm sure this is something useful for several species. Thanks for the pointers
Man, you are going to love it. Made our first trip yesterday and got 6 keepers, 12 throwbacks. Tat video will be out in a week or 2. and there will be more behind that one! Thanks for watching and follow the FB page for updates: facebook.com/scottgreggoutdoors/ We are going to be giving away a hot sauce on there too. Details are on the page.
Thanks for the quick response ,When I got home today I cut the noodle with a large scissors, cut like butter , duh what was I thinking.I fish SHINNECOCK BAY on Long Island NEW YORK.CANT WAIT FOR THE BIG THAW. Got bad cabin fever enjoy and GOD BLESS NICE RIG TOO!
Thecoralreefaquarium No problem. you have a great place to chase flatties! This rig will make you very good at filleting fish. Haha. Share it with your friends and tight lines!
Merz 82 No problem! Check out the large tackle storage video I have too. I'll show you how I hang up all by big stuff to not take up room in the garage.

Wait until you fish it! It works awesome and will out-fish the usual rigs big time. When you feel it hit, just lift is about 6"or so and say to yourself "Bouncy bouncy bouncy" as you do just that. You'll slay 'em!

+dennis stallings going after them again this weekend. 5 of us are up to 114 keepers for the year so far. 2 of those days were 4 man limits of 16 fish and included a 3rd place finish in a money tournament, first and 2nd place in a club tournament.
+Scott Gregg Well done..I usually come down your way in early season. Had to replace fuel tank in my 1987 Aquasport.Fished O.C Friday,Went out to the bass grounds and caught a lot of flounder but not many keepers.Sea was pretty rough,so we didn't go out to were I wanted.

I use the exact same thing here in Texas and the flounder can't resist it. I typically have great luck with the Chartreuse 4" Swimming Mullet, though I often try different colors. During the flounder run in October-November, they'll hit on anything. Tandem-rigged is the way to go with flounder.
+Texas Coastal Sportsman when Scott tied the loop knot for the swivel. Do you add the swivel to the rig or do attach the rig to the main line that has the swivel attached?
I think it depends on what he's referring to as a swivel. If he's talking about what I would call a regular swivel, I could see just putting the swivel on your rig and have it already on the loop of the rig; then you'd just tie the swivel to your main line. If you went this route you'd have to make your rig with the swivel on there and it would never come off. If he's referring to a quick connect type swivel, then you'd leave it on your main line and just snap your loop onto it when you want to use that specific rig.

My boat is a 25' C-Hawk Pilothouse called VENATOR. Holler if you see us out! We had a cobia hit your rig at 3rd island last weekend on a small flounder/bass spinning rod my buddy was holding....tore it to pieces and gone quickly....Shortly afterward one (possibly the same one) hit my heavier spinning rod that I was jigging a bucktail with curlytail grub. Fought it about 5 mins before it threw the hook. I'm 0 for about 6 on Cobia this year so far. Flounder picking up though.
nelsonsmither yep definately. Im on a 21' Trophy w/a, no name on it, but we go by "Fish Hard". You might try the FB groups "Chesapeake bay fishing" also. That's growing pretty well too.

Near the end what do you mean 'tip each end with live gulp mullet' ?? Are you saying to add gulp mullet' to hooks of rigs you tied or a rig with just gulp live. Could you show a video how you would do that rig?🦅😎👍

Thanks, I've always used bottom rigs with squid or bloodworms, can't wait to try this. I'll be fishing out on the Chesapeake Bay from a boat, what size jigs should I be using? I usually let the boat drift up a sandy bottom.
Steve Z As light as you can to keep it close to vertical. If you are casting in skinny water, probably about 3/8 and a gulp would be fine and just bounce along the bottom. We usually use 1 - 3oz depending on the drift and depth. Thank you for watching!

Thank you for sharing your expertise. I just want to know if I can use 30 lb braided line (power pro super slick , blue or high vis yellow) isntead of mono or flouro line?
riley633 I'm sure you can, but keep in mind Flounder are sight feeders mostly. I don't know if I'm right or not about them getting tackle shy, but I think any edge you can get helps you catch more fish. I would stick with flourocarbon for the actual rig. If you are going to go with a superbraid, keep it thin and an green so as not to stand out too much. I think FC is worth the little extra $ for the rig, and yeah you might loose a few more on snags, but I really think you'll catch more fish.
Hey Scott. Going to Wachapreague, VA this weekend and I will give this a try. do you ever add any addition weight to these rigs with an egg sinker. Seems like the weight of the bucktails would do fine.
+Derek Dombrowski You'll never need more weight where you are going. I've never fished Wachapreague but I fish a spot a bit south of you in similar water. This Rig will work great for you. Let me know how you do. I'm planning on a trip to my spot next week or weekend at the latest. They should be there by now and hitting pretty good.
new to flounder fishing - spent most of my childhood using downriggers to salmon fish Lake Michigan, and I look forward to using this method in the bay near Ocean City, New Jersey when I retire there. Question - is this rig paired with anything else on the line? You mentioned a four inch mullet - is that a bait you add to this? Do you add any weight to the line as well? I am assuming that the rig as is wouldn't sink and stay at the bottom, but maybe I am wrong?
Patrick Fitzpatrick It will get down unless your current is really strong. Gulp 4" swimming mullet is a soft plastic like bait you find at a tackle store. Thank you for watching!

Since this rig has spinners on the bucktail jigs, how do you fish it for best results? I bounce my rigs along the bottom (no spinner) ,do you do the same with this rig ??/ Thanks, good video.

I'm not sure I know what you are referring too. We still use what we call double dropper rigs for some fish which is a wire rig with two wire drop loops above a sinker. We usually don't use that for flounder though.
How do you rig the gulp mullet,are there weedless rigs? I've never used gulp mullet. I'm guessing it works well in the river but what about the inshore beaches leading to the inlets? Good video thanks for the rig idea!
Dusty Camp You can rig gulps weedless with worm hook but we just use the bait keeper hooks and thread the on like other twisty tails. Gulp freshwater baits work GREAT too!
Scott.Will this rig work up in New Hampshire? Going there in late august.Have ti fish from shore.I'm from Pittsburgh and do not get a lot of salt water time.Love flounder. Thanks Sam.
I have fished on a big headboat out of Maryland about 20 miles off the coast (near or over 100 feet of water in most spots), where we used 8 ounce sinkers and it wasn't even rough out. Briefly, how would that need for a sinker affect this setup? I want to be able to have tackle to accommodate this type of situation if I need 8 ounces again, and do NOT want to use their setup of bare hook with bait. Thanks
+dmger14 We've done it plenty like that. Using a dropper rig with a sinker to hold in fast current and about a 10' leader to a lighter jig. no problem, works great. Use enough weight to stay near vertical and you'll hang up less.

@@scottnra btw. I showed my crew your noodle technique. A lot of long drawn out efffffff!s came out of them when they realized how slick it is to use the noodle to hold our rigs. Ty for the great videos buddy!
doesn't the rig get tangled up at some point? or is this rig just for vertical fishing (not from shore) I used this same idea before and it was to much of a hassle unless from a boat. Thanks for the video.
There are so many rigs for fluke, but I like this one for its simplicity,, will be going to outerbanks in a month, on sound side, but will also be surf fishing, do you think these will work well for surf casting also...bought the wolf jigs and have used them, really nice jigs for the $$...also picked up my swim noodles..LOL... great tips as always, keep up the great common sense videos!
great rig ! my problem is my flounder spots have dried up in recent years . 3 leged buoy in solomons ,, sharp island flats , buoys 74 76 ..I have to go to ocean city to get a taste. got any secrete spots I can reach out of breezy point ? Hey I had to ask

This is for slow current? i cant see this working without a large sinker in fast current like eastern end of long Island or deep fluking in 50' + off of Jersey. Have you used this in these conditions and if so to what effect?
patrick kelly Actually yes, sort of. We use a dropper at the BBT in up to about 80' of water with a 10' or so leader and the jig/gulp with pretty good luck But that is really not the same rig at all. This one works well to about 30' IF the current, drift and wind all working together. Sometimes when things are weird, you can get down well at 15' but those are tough days and not that often.
I've done t both ways. I went to the drop loop rig with high hook recently because I just use a bare hook/gulp on top. That way when I get hung up and lose a rig, It cost less! haha. The twin jigs do not ever wrap up. They run very well. but it gets costly fast when you fish structure. If you fish more open water this is a very hard rig to beat! Thanks for watching!
Thanks Scott. I guess I'm going to yet it that way ... I don't fish any structure on the great South bay on the Island so I shouldn't have and issue. I'm interested to see if it works out okay. Have a great day! Rick
Drop it down to the bottom. When you feel the bottom, lift it up about 4 - 6" and bouncy it, allowing it to hit the bottom every few moments or so to make sure you are following the bottom contour. You don't want to drag it along because you will hang it constantly on anything down there, plus real bait fish don't drag bottom. Flounder are sitting on the bottom looking up. As long as it is within sight of them they will come up and hit it. You will also catch a lot on the top jig. The bottom one get's their attention and they come up, then get distracted by the top one and nail it instead. A good stiff action rod and braided line are a MUST to feel what is going on.
shelley dupont We've done best with white/white. But we have also done well on red/white, yellow/white, green/white, Chartreuse, and even pink combos. Flounder are sight feeders. Keep it BRIGHT and I think you'll do better. It also helps to know what they are feeding on. This time of year sometimes the ones we catch spit up a minnow to give you clues. We have seen small sea mullet in them so far and they are mostly white.

Brandie Fox Sure! (As long as it's not too rough you should do great.) In fact with currents pulling the rig along it should help you cover a lot of bottom area pretty quickly. once you find them, stay on them and pound the heck out of them. :-)
Brandie Fox Well in the areas I fish it starts in one part about Late April, early may, then others June as they move into and up the bay, and on into September and even October as they migrate out of the Chesapeake bay. I would imagine that other areas would be different based on water temps.
livenhfree ok, but you really just thread it on there. I didn't figure that would be something that needed to be shown.

Looks like a nice rig! Do you ever get the top jig twisted around the bottom line when your in current? I will tie up a couple to try out! Great Idea about the noodle too!
Just curious Scott, what part of the Chesapeake Bay do you fish for flatties? Never heard too many people have good luck fishing for them in the bay that's why I ask.
Grand Wonder I have caught them in Cornfield Harbor on the Potomac, , Off of Smith Point, In the Rapahannock river, In the bouy 38 area down to Cape Charles and the BBT. That's a pretty large range. Also have a few spots on the eastern shore where they arrive first in about 2 or 3 weeks. They are there from May until September.
Scott Gregg Thanks for all the info Scott, that's pretty generous of you! I don't fish much in the Chesapeake Bay, I guess that's why I didn't know much about flatties in the bay. But I might give it a try one day. If I do, what kind of structure (sandy bottom, rocky bottom, channel edges, etc) and water depth would you recommend? I have caught several large flounders in Texas before, but never tried fishing for them in the east coast. Are they generally come into the Chesapeake Bay from May to September? I'm thinking about giving it a try around the Cornfield Harbor/Point Lookout area to see what I can catch or I might give Cape Charles a try if I have time. Do you fish for them with minnows or artificial lures? BTW, where does Bouy 38 located? Thanks buddy for any help you could give me and for being so honest.
Grand Wonder 38 is north of a reef called "The Cell" Water depth's Ive caught fish in range from 3' to over 50' All you mentioned can be good spots. You just have to hunt until you find them.
Grant Weed Those were Hyper Striper Road Runners. A local shop had a ton of them marked way down to clear out and I think we bought over 100 of them. We were using mostly 3/4oz in this video.

+Craig Bireley I have done best with white, but also good on chartreuse. The Hyper Stripers are great but pricey. We have gone to regular whit bucktails and mostly flat head style to stay more vertical in current and deep water. I have a video series up now showing how to make them from scratch, but you can buy them also at most tackle shops. Size is whatever weight you need to stay close to vertical for the conditions you are in. We use from 3/4oz to 2.5oz. If that won't hold, we'll go to a dropper rig with a sinker and 3-way with about a 6-10' leader to a 1/4 or 1/2oz bucktail. (Rare)

I've been using this method for years!!! Works great not only for Flounder but also Speckled Trout and Red Fish!!
Wait until you see the flounder videos on here! I have a new one coming later today from yesterday. We got some really nice ones.
I used this with my dad and it worked so well!

Two great ideas in ur video; the different way you tied two jigs onto one leader and the swim noodle way to store the jigs. EXCELLENT!
Thanks man! We love the noodles for leader and rig storage! Thank you for watching and check out some of the other fishing videos when you can.
Fishing from surf and kayak at Emerald Isle NC, and this rig makes it easy...especially when on the kayak drifting!
Thanks Scott!
warren robertson There you go! Share it with your friends and catch 'em up! I have really gotten hooked on flounder fishing (pun intended) We pass up going after a lot of other fish to chase them in the Chesapeake bay. When you are going to fry up a batch, check out my recipe vid for Eastern Shore potatoes!

Man, you are going to love it. Made our first trip yesterday and got 6 keepers, 12 throwbacks. Tat video will be out in a week or 2. and there will be more behind that one! Thanks for watching and follow the FB page for updates: facebook.com/scottgreggoutdoors/ We are going to be giving away a hot sauce on there too. Details are on the page.
Thanks for your help! I caught at least 3 times as many fish on this then when I used to use a single or drop knot rig
Cool man Thanks! I'm looking forward o them showing up this year myself. Thanks for watching.
Great video. Very helpful!!! I'm gonna go try and catch some flounder at Virginia Beach oceanfront today with your technique.. Thanks so much!!
Glad to help and Thanks for watching!
hey that’s where i live haha
Thanks for the quick response ,When I got home today I cut the noodle with a large scissors, cut like butter , duh what was I thinking.I fish SHINNECOCK BAY on Long Island NEW YORK.CANT WAIT FOR THE BIG THAW. Got bad cabin fever enjoy and GOD BLESS NICE RIG TOO!
Thecoralreefaquarium No problem. you have a great place to chase flatties! This rig will make you very good at filleting fish. Haha. Share it with your friends and tight lines!

@@scottnra, yeah, we are often drift fishing in 60 to 120 feet of water. I'll configure accordingly. Keep up the great work.
I love this rig I just started jigging for fluke but I always just used a 2oz weight and a minnow on a fluke hook
Wait until you fish it! It works awesome and will out-fish the usual rigs big time. When you feel it hit, just lift is about 6"or so and say to yourself "Bouncy bouncy bouncy" as you do just that. You'll slay 'em!

+dennis stallings going after them again this weekend. 5 of us are up to 114 keepers for the year so far. 2 of those days were 4 man limits of 16 fish and included a 3rd place finish in a money tournament, first and 2nd place in a club tournament.
+Scott Gregg Well done..I usually come down your way in early season. Had to replace fuel tank in my 1987 Aquasport.Fished O.C Friday,Went out to the bass grounds and caught a lot of flounder but not many keepers.Sea was pretty rough,so we didn't go out to were I wanted.

I use the exact same thing here in Texas and the flounder can't resist it. I typically have great luck with the Chartreuse 4" Swimming Mullet, though I often try different colors. During the flounder run in October-November, they'll hit on anything. Tandem-rigged is the way to go with flounder.
Thanks for the information!
+Texas Coastal Sportsman when Scott tied the loop knot for the swivel. Do you add the swivel to the rig or do attach the rig to the main line that has the swivel attached?
I think it depends on what he's referring to as a swivel. If he's talking about what I would call a regular swivel, I could see just putting the swivel on your rig and have it already on the loop of the rig; then you'd just tie the swivel to your main line. If you went this route you'd have to make your rig with the swivel on there and it would never come off. If he's referring to a quick connect type swivel, then you'd leave it on your main line and just snap your loop onto it when you want to use that specific rig.

Awesome storage tip !!!,, love it !
Thank you!
Great rig and great swim noodle trick. I've been using both with good success in the lower Chesapeake Bay this year. Cheers...-ns
My boat is a 25' C-Hawk Pilothouse called VENATOR. Holler if you see us out! We had a cobia hit your rig at 3rd island last weekend on a small flounder/bass spinning rod my buddy was holding....tore it to pieces and gone quickly....Shortly afterward one (possibly the same one) hit my heavier spinning rod that I was jigging a bucktail with curlytail grub. Fought it about 5 mins before it threw the hook. I'm 0 for about 6 on Cobia this year so far. Flounder picking up though.
nelsonsmither yep definately. Im on a 21' Trophy w/a, no name on it, but we go by "Fish Hard". You might try the FB groups "Chesapeake bay fishing" also. That's growing pretty well too.

Near the end what do you mean 'tip each end with live gulp mullet' ?? Are you saying to add gulp mullet' to hooks of rigs you tied or a rig with just gulp live. Could you show a video how you would do that rig?🦅😎👍
boltbeetle Just that you add a gulp swimming mullet to the hook.
They make a huge difference over just the bare jig.

Thanks, I've always used bottom rigs with squid or bloodworms, can't wait to try this. I'll be fishing out on the Chesapeake Bay from a boat, what size jigs should I be using? I usually let the boat drift up a sandy bottom.
Steve Z As light as you can to keep it close to vertical. If you are casting in skinny water, probably about 3/8 and a gulp would be fine and just bounce along the bottom. We usually use 1 - 3oz depending on the drift and depth.

Thank you for sharing your expertise. I just want to know if I can use 30 lb braided line (power pro super slick , blue or high vis yellow) isntead of mono or flouro line?
riley633 I'm sure you can, but keep in mind Flounder are sight feeders mostly. I don't know if I'm right or not about them getting tackle shy, but I think any edge you can get helps you catch more fish. I would stick with flourocarbon for the actual rig. If you are going to go with a superbraid, keep it thin and an green so as not to stand out too much. I think FC is worth the little extra $ for the rig, and yeah you might loose a few more on snags, but I really think you'll catch more fish.
Will the rig work with an end loop so you can switch bucktails?
Sure will! In fact I've gone to using them for that reason. Works great! Thanks for watching!
Hey Scott.
Going to Wachapreague, VA this weekend and I will give this a try. do you ever add any addition weight to these rigs with an egg sinker. Seems like the weight of the bucktails would do fine.
+Derek Dombrowski You'll never need more weight where you are going. I've never fished Wachapreague but I fish a spot a bit south of you in similar water. This Rig will work great for you. Let me know how you do. I'm planning on a trip to my spot next week or weekend at the latest. They should be there by now and hitting pretty good.
This video was awesome!! Thanks
You're welcome! Go get 'em. :-)
Great video, I especially like the idea of having the rigs already ready to go! Thanks again...Mark.
Thanks Mark! We pre-tie all kinds of rigs now. Check this tip out! ruclips.net/video/vRMelEURzsE/видео.html
Greg could you fish this off a ocean pier? If not what would you use in the fall/winter for pier fishing? Thanks in advance!
I'd give it a try for sure.
new to flounder fishing - spent most of my childhood using downriggers to salmon fish Lake Michigan, and I look forward to using this method in the bay near Ocean City, New Jersey when I retire there. Question - is this rig paired with anything else on the line? You mentioned a four inch mullet - is that a bait you add to this? Do you add any weight to the line as well? I am assuming that the rig as is wouldn't sink and stay at the bottom, but maybe I am wrong?
Patrick Fitzpatrick It will get down unless your current is really strong. Gulp 4" swimming mullet is a soft plastic like bait you find at a tackle store.

yah tandum with a drop loop is the best hands down. you can change leader lengths as you want.
Yes sir it is. Thanks for watching.
What happened to the old wire rigs.....sinker in center, leader at each end with shelled hook?
I'm not sure I know what you are referring too. We still use what we call double dropper rigs for some fish which is a wire rig with two wire drop loops above a sinker. We usually don't use that for flounder though.
How do you rig the gulp mullet,are there weedless rigs? I've never used gulp mullet. I'm guessing it works well in the river but what about the inshore beaches leading to the inlets?
Good video thanks for the rig idea!
Dusty Camp You can rig gulps weedless with worm hook but we just use the bait keeper hooks and thread the on like other twisty tails. Gulp freshwater baits work GREAT too!
Scott.Will this rig work up in New Hampshire? Going there in late august.Have ti fish from shore.I'm from Pittsburgh and do not get a lot of salt water time.Love flounder. Thanks Sam.
Sure. It should work fine just about anywhere in water around 20' or less in depth. Good Luck on your trip!
I have fished on a big headboat out of Maryland about 20 miles off the coast (near or over 100 feet of water in most spots), where we used 8 ounce sinkers and it wasn't even rough out. Briefly, how would that need for a sinker affect this setup? I want to be able to have tackle to accommodate this type of situation if I need 8 ounces again, and do NOT want to use their setup of bare hook with bait. Thanks
+dmger14 We've done it plenty like that. Using a dropper rig with a sinker to hold in fast current and about a 10' leader to a lighter jig. no problem, works great. Use enough weight to stay near vertical and you'll hang up less.
Thanks Scott!

doesn't the rig get tangled up at some point? or is this rig just for vertical fishing (not from shore) I used this same idea before and it was to much of a hassle unless from a boat. Thanks for the video.
Nope. We cast it all the time also. No problems.
There are so many rigs for fluke, but I like this one for its simplicity,, will be going to outerbanks in a month, on sound side, but will also be surf fishing, do you think these will work well for surf casting also...bought the wolf jigs and have used them, really nice jigs for the $$...also picked up my swim noodles..LOL... great tips as always, keep up the great common sense videos!
John Toth Thanks dude! They will work but you are going to have a harder time "feeling" what's happening in the surf I would think.

Nunya Bizniz You'll love this rig. Let me know how it works for you once you do.
Thank you for watching. I've got some really cool stuff coming too! Just finished an AMAZING flounder fishing day yesterday with well over a 4 man limit on film! THat one is coming as soon as I can get it done. (And another good one in works right now for this friday.) Click the "bell" icon to get notified of new videos posted every week.

Hey Scott thats a great tip about the swim noodle how did you cut it?
Thecoralreefaquarium Just cut it with a fillet knife or whatever. It slices easily. If not...see my knife sharpening video HAHA! We've been using the noddles for a few years now. You can usually get a couple years out of one before the sun breaks it down.
Great Vid and tips...Thanks!!!

This is for slow current? i cant see this working without a large sinker in fast current like eastern end of long Island or deep fluking in 50' + off of Jersey. Have you used this in these conditions and if so to what effect?
patrick kelly Actually yes, sort of. We use a dropper at the BBT in up to about 80' of water with a 10' or so leader and the jig/gulp with pretty good luck But that is really not the same rig at all. This one works well to about 30' IF the current, drift and wind all working together. Sometimes when things are weird, you can get down well at 15' but those are tough days and not that often.
Scott,
When you put a jig at either end as you do, don't the jigs tend to wrap around one another while fishing? Why not just use a drop loop? Rick
I've done t both ways. I went to the drop loop rig with high hook recently because I just use a bare hook/gulp on top. That way when I get hung up and lose a rig, It cost less! haha. The twin jigs do not ever wrap up. They run very well. but it gets costly fast when you fish structure. If you fish more open water this is a very hard rig to beat! Thanks for watching!
Thanks Scott. I guess I'm going to yet it that way ... I don't fish any structure on the great South bay on the Island so I shouldn't have and issue. I'm interested to see if it works out okay. Have a great day! Rick
Now how do you fish it fast or slow. I would think you drag it real slow but I don't know. thank you for the info
Drop it down to the bottom. When you feel the bottom, lift it up about 4 - 6" and bouncy it, allowing it to hit the bottom every few moments or so to make sure you are following the bottom contour. You don't want to drag it along because you will hang it constantly on anything down there, plus real bait fish don't drag bottom. Flounder are sitting on the bottom looking up. As long as it is within sight of them they will come up and hit it. You will also catch a lot on the top jig. The bottom one get's their attention and they come up, then get distracted by the top one and nail it instead. A good stiff action rod and braided line are a MUST to feel what is going on.
Scott Gregg thankyou
shelley dupont We've done best with white/white. But we have also done well on red/white, yellow/white, green/white, Chartreuse, and even pink combos. Flounder are sight feeders. Keep it BRIGHT and I think you'll do better. It also helps to know what they are feeding on. This time of year sometimes the ones we catch spit up a minnow to give you clues. We have seen small sea mullet in them so far and they are mostly white.
thankyou
Go Get 'em! ;-)
Nice rig ideas

hey scott thank you for the tip! can this rig be used for surf fishing?
Brandie Fox Sure! (As long as it's not too rough you should do great.) In fact with currents pulling the rig along it should help you cover a lot of bottom area pretty quickly. once you find them, stay on them and pound the heck out of them. :-)
right on scott! thanks for getting back to me,best time of year for fluke?
Brandie Fox Well in the areas I fish it starts in one part about Late April, early may, then others June as they move into and up the bay, and on into September and even October as they migrate out of the Chesapeake bay. I would imagine that other areas would be different based on water temps.
Nice. But would have been good if you showed us how you load the gulp onto the jig, just to complete the whole process!
livenhfree ok, but you really just thread it on there. I didn't figure that would be something that needed to be shown. We've changed up the rig and have a video you might like too, explaining how we wreck fish, including the updated rig: ruclips.net/video/Z11w3oTzbLs/видео.html

@@scottnra Awesome. Thanks for the info!
Looks like a nice rig! Do you ever get the top jig twisted around the bottom line when your in current? I will tie up a couple to try out! Great Idea about the noodle too!
I've never had it twist up at all. It even casts well. Thanks for watching and give it a try.
So I could use a buck tail jig as well? I've used bacon on them and have been killing them.
I am going to try that this weekend along with a couple other things... Thanks for watching
Just curious Scott, what part of the Chesapeake Bay do you fish for flatties? Never heard too many people have good luck fishing for them in the bay that's why I ask.
Grand Wonder I have caught them in Cornfield Harbor on the Potomac, , Off of Smith Point, In the Rapahannock river, In the bouy 38 area down to Cape Charles and the BBT. That's a pretty large range. Also have a few spots on the eastern shore where they arrive first in about 2 or 3 weeks. They are there from May until September.
Scott Gregg
Thanks for all the info Scott, that's pretty generous of you! I don't fish much in the Chesapeake Bay, I guess that's why I didn't know much about flatties in the bay. But I might give it a try one day. If I do, what kind of structure (sandy bottom, rocky bottom, channel edges, etc) and water depth would you recommend? I have caught several large flounders in Texas before, but never tried fishing for them in the east coast. Are they generally come into the Chesapeake Bay from May to September? I'm thinking about giving it a try around the Cornfield Harbor/Point Lookout area to see what I can catch or I might give Cape Charles a try if I have time. Do you fish for them with minnows or artificial lures? BTW, where does Bouy 38 located? Thanks buddy for any help you could give me and for being so honest.
Grand Wonder 38 is north of a reef called "The Cell" Water depth's Ive caught fish in range from 3' to over 50' All you mentioned can be good spots. You just have to hunt until you find them.
GREAT IDEAS. THANK YOU
RICO LOCO You are very welcome. Love them flat feesh!!
I see your bucktails have a little spoon on them? Do you have a link to where to buy them?
Grant Weed Those were Hyper Striper Road Runners. A local shop had a ton of them marked way down to clear out and I think we bought over 100 of them. We were using mostly 3/4oz in this video. Amazon has them here: amzn.to/2I5NFYX

I notice you have spinner blades on your rigs, If so what size are they. Does it matter what color the hair is?
+Craig Bireley I have done best with white, but also good on chartreuse. The Hyper Stripers are great but pricey. We have gone to regular whit bucktails and mostly flat head style to stay more vertical in current and deep water. I have a video series up now showing how to make them from scratch, but you can buy them also at most tackle shops. Size is whatever weight you need to stay close to vertical for the conditions you are in. We use from 3/4oz to 2.5oz. If that won't hold, we'll go to a dropper rig with a sinker and 3-way with about a 6-10' leader to a 1/4 or 1/2oz bucktail. (Rare)
Nice Video.. I will definitely try it here in Jacksonville

Put a swivel on your loop to keep twist out
+desert1cop We hook it to a snap swivel when attaching it to the line. That does a good job.
Cool I use to just tie my main line to the loop without a swivel,it would screw my line bad
