    Do you want to catch Flounder like Jon Skinner. Well so did I! So I studied his techniques and tackle setups and added a few trick to the mix myself and now I can catch all the Flounder I can eat! This video highlights how well his techniques work and also how important it is to tweak certain things about the tackle and technique to work better for you and your local waters.

    Jesse that may be your best video. Most fisherman will not tell nobody nothing. Nice to see people working together. Sometime when you are fishing around Cedar point or Swansboro I don’t live but a couple of hours from there and actually had a camper at Hammocks beach for years.

    As an avid outdoorsman I’ve always wanted to get into kayak fishing. I decided to purchase and setup a PA 12 recently and I appreciate that your so willing to pass down your knowledge. Your videos are not only top notch, but what’s really cool is seeing that your willing to reach back and pull people up. That’s imo what makes a true outdoorsman. Maybe someday we will cross paths so I can shake your hand.

      @@SouthernReelsFishing hey bud, I have a couple of questions for you. FYI, I did subscribe to you.
      1. What's the name of the marina or boat ramp you launched from?
      2. I have a Hobie outback with a torqueedo too. So how long it did take to get to the CBT on 1hp?
      3. I've fished the stone ships before, a while back, caught a mess of grey trouts. Can you catch flounder there too, and where are the speckies in the area.
      4. I'm up in the Springfield NoVA area and dragging my kayak on a trailer. Is there one motel that can accommodate parking for me? Thanks.

    Great video once again! One tip is to see if you can find a power handle for your reel. Love the low profile reels but a power handle makes a huge difference. My next reel is a Daiwa Lexa WN 300.

    • @SouthernReelsFishing
      @SouthernReelsFishing  6 лет назад +1

      Thanks man! I'm not sure if I would like it, I love the fight on the low profile reel and the bigger handle would be almost awkward I think. Maybe not... I do know where to get one just don't really need it yet. Maybe when i find those elusive 10 lbers

    • @CrabberPA
      @CrabberPA 6 лет назад

      Southern Reels Fishing Next time you’re at Oceans East or another shop check out the Daiwa Lexa 300 WN. Basically the same low profile style reel with a power handle. And even John Skinner, the fluke master, has switched over to power handles on his low profile reels. LOL

    • @SouthernReelsFishing
      @SouthernReelsFishing  6 лет назад +1

      I'll usually jig each at least twice, and you'll be moving with the current while jigging. As the current carries you just keep it close to the bottom and as straight down as you can keep it

    Final update: this little reel is the little engine that could ruclips.net/user/postUgkxSlytCJqozTF7EbdP4LWP-HUXf9WRDJ0e . It performed flawlessly and was easy to adjust drag in the moment while I was battling a 35lb bat ray behemoth. Mind you, this reel is spooled with only 25 lb braid and 25 mono topshot. It's paired with the kastking telescopic heavy power rod and the two work well together. This has now earned my respect and confidence when traveling and fishing. If you have ever hooked into large rays and sharks, you know they pull extremely hard and can run forever! This thing clamped down on the fish and was easy to adjust during the fight. It has a nice decently fast retrieve as well. Twice the fish went on mad runs and I was able to gain back line quickly to avoid spooling.
