Just over a week or so ago I got out amongst'em and couldn't buy a bite. After careful examination I realized that all they were doing is what we've been doing... SOCIAL DISTANCING.! 😒 Thanks for sharing your adventures. Tight Lines and Full Limits To Ya 🎣
@@KagenFishing I should have been more specific. Rod and reel, tackle (what's in your tackle box), what leader you use (mono or floro). What brand of line you use. I like your videos on sight casting reds and would like to get the same tackle. Do you ever use the drone to find fish? You seem genuine and not like a sponsored salesman like other youtubers.
Trace Furlong the wind can be defeating in a kayak. Having a motor to blast to another spot often makes the difference between going home skunked and finding the fish.
I've targeted flounder almost exclusively the last 10 or so years. When I feel the thump, I lower the rod tip and wait 10-15 seconds. Flounder like to chew their food and kill it before they swallow it. I give them a little more time. I now it's hard to not set the hook, but it will improve your landing %.
That was an awesome day! The water looked shallow through there; about how deep was it? And hey, that GoPro is psychic! It sure knows when you are about to snag one!
It was dumb shallow. Max depth was 2ft and that was where we were catching fish. The rest of the flat was 0.9ft. It’s usually higher but we caught it at low tide and fished the incoming.
I used to lose flounder all the time at the net, a guide told me “let them think they are in charge and keep their head down, and keep them horizontal”
Losing the flounder is from weak hooksets. Flounder will mouth a bait and basically swim to you with mouth closed til you try and force them in a direction they don’t want to go and boom open mouth
The one flounder came off bc you lowered your tip messing with the net and your line went slack. It only takes a little and they are masters at getting off.
That’s what I thought as well but (2) years ago I was at the George R Brown fishing Show & ofcourse sat in on many seminars. I forget the gentleman’s name but he is a plaque holder at the Sea Center of Texas. At 1st I was like he had to been pulling our legs but as I thought about it more it began to make much sense. So last year I was at SLP for the weekend & took myself to the Center & validated the seminar with a scientist. Very interesting place. If you ever get a chance to go definitely do so & take the hatchery tour. You will get to see how fry is started, what they feed them & growing cycles as well. Oh you will also lean how the GCCA/CCA was started from a pond inside of Dow Chemical Plant due to the bad freeze in the 1980’S.
