Today we're out in the beautiful state of New Jersey. Even though we left our boat behind, we are not boatless as we're fishing with Captain Art of Katie James Sport Fishing out in the windy waters.
Rigged up with Cattail sinkers and cut bait on Viper Spoon, we drift along the water bottom bouncing for fluke. It was a windy and slightly rainy day, though that didn't stop any of us from landing our fair share of keeper fluke.
Due to the cloudy weather and darker stained water, we were running the gold Viper Spoons, as gold tends to have a better shine in darker waters than silver.
The Cattail Sinkers really helped keep our lines from getting snagged up on any rocky debris on the bottom.

I was happy to see the t-turn and viper spoons on sale in Brielle, NJ(Reel ? bait and tackle. don't remember the exact name of the shop as I was on my way to another and this was closer). I had already purchased the t-turns online from you guys over the winter. Going on a party boat out of Sandy Hook area on Thursday so I might go get a viper.

@thundermistlures 9 лет назад

Patrick O'Rourke Hi Patrick - you will love using the Viper Spoon as it will work great for you....many people use them on party boats with great success :) PS> it was Brielle bait & Tackle....your memory was correct :)

@delflago 9 лет назад

@thundermistlures 9 лет назад

Alex Amico Hi Alex - glad yo are enjoying our videos and we would also like to fish more off shore and stay tuned as I'm sure we will be able to do so at some point :)

@donttrackmegoogle 8 лет назад

Can't tell you how many fluke I've pulled in using one of those viper spoons with a full strip of squid. However, I lost the thing on a damn Skate in the back bays of NJ.

@thundermistlures 8 лет назад

+donttrackmegoogle Squid and the viper spoon really do make a great salt water fishing combo for fluke :)

@Saltlife_-lt7hj 8 лет назад

That first fish was short and the only thing i dont like about the viper spoons is they have like 200 hooks on them

@theSairsoft1 9 лет назад

Nothing like fishing for fluke with light talke in 4-8 feet of water where u can visually see then strike it's very fun and it produces nice fish

@thundermistlures 9 лет назад

Stephen Sr Sounds like fun fishing Stephen :)

@davidfenton8745 9 лет назад

Great video Ivo!! I live in New Jersey I'm gonna catch lots of fluke with the ss viperspoon this year!:)

@thundermistlures 9 лет назад

David Fenton Hi David - you really will do great with the SS Viper Spoon & feel free to send along any photos :)

@2000toddowen 9 лет назад

I actually released a few keepers that measured just over 18" last weekend. Really can't quite explain why. Even the seagulls were looking at me with this "What the H*** is the matter with you?" look. Anyway...enjoyed your video yet again, Ivo. I'll be out there again this weekend. Looks like the weather will cooperate.

@thundermistlures 9 лет назад

2000toddowen LOL.....good luck this week end :) hope you catch more keeper Fluke and that you have a great day on the water

@2000toddowen 9 лет назад

Same back at ya, Ivo.

can you do an ocean surf fishing video?

@thundermistlures 9 лет назад

Sandy Crupi Hi Sandy.....if we get a chance, we would like to surf fish as well :)

@scottb4540 6 лет назад

Hi ivo, a question I want to ask is whether the cat tail sinker is good for shore fishing in rocky areas. I find the only thing worse than going fishing and not catching anything is getting in to a lot of snags. The thundermist website says it is for trolling or drifting so I wasn't sure if It would work well for shore fishing or not. As an alternative do you think a sliding sinker would also help in avoiding snags. I usually use a big split shot or tear drop sinker when i fish which are both get in to a lot of snags. Particularly the split shot gets me in to snags like every five minutes. Thanks in advance from Peterborough Ontario.

@thundermistlures 6 лет назад

Hi Scott - the cattail sinkers are designed to fish from a boat....they could be used on shore if you were on a pier but otherwise, they are not really designed to fish from shore :)

@kennyspadaccini5154 9 лет назад

Hello Ivo, What Rod and Real are you using? Thanks

@thundermistlures 9 лет назад

Kenny Spadaccini Hi Kenny - the rod and reel were Capt'n Art's - I can not recall the brand of the rod, but the reel was a local brand called Canyon Reels and I really liked it a lot. You could always get in touch with Capt'n Art at Katie James Sprotfishing on face book as I'm sure he will be happy to let you know about the rods :) Good luck on the water Kenny :)

@Born2fishJxel 9 лет назад

What size viper spoon were u using, Ivo?

@thundermistlures 9 лет назад

Born2Fish Using the Size SS Viper Spoon which is ideal for fluke :)

@jackdefelice 9 лет назад

What type of reel was Vinchenzo using? (sorry if spelled wrong)

@thundermistlures 9 лет назад

Jack DeFelice Hello Jack - sorry I didn't take note of the reel that Vincenzo was using, as it was capt'n Art's reel - if you want, you can ask Capt'N Art by going to his Facebook page at Katie James Sport Fishing :)

@davidfenton8745 9 лет назад

Hey Ivo, I live in New Jersey near the Barnegat Bay what stores around hear can I buy the SS viperspoon?

@thundermistlures 9 лет назад

David Fenton Hi David - there are a number of stores carrying the Viper Spoons in Jersey, but we are not aware of all of them - some are Newark Sinker, Tackle Direct, Fisherman's' headquarters, Ramsey's, Harry's Army & Navy, S Meltzers & Sons, Fisherman's Den, J & H Outlet, and many more - if your local store doesn't carry them, there's always the on line option :)

@Snick4444 7 лет назад

Hi Ivo, from southern NJ, just started watching your videos and I love all the helpful hints! After watching some videos, would like to try the pyton darter for some fluke and striper fishing. I bought the 1 oz for stripers, what size would you reccomend for fluke? Thanks!

@thundermistlures 7 лет назад

Great to hear from you in Southern Jersey ...the 1 oz will also catch you fluke and is a good size, as is the 3/4 oz - however, we prefer to use the SS20 Viper Spoons for Fluke...they are much lighter and are fantastic on the drift :) Either way though, you're in for some great fishing!

@iphone3gsdivine 9 лет назад

Did he keep that dog fish for bait!????

@LilChichi29 9 лет назад

What kind of rod and reel you were using ivo

@thundermistlures 9 лет назад

LilChichi29 I was using Capt'n Arts tackle....can't recall the rod, but the reel was a Canyon Reel made locally - excellent quality - I really liked it. Not sure where you can get one but if you drop a line to Capt'n Art on his FaceBook page (Katie James Sport Fishing) , I am sure he will help you out :)

@rickrambo1493 9 лет назад

Would this way of fishing work in the Delaware Bay?

@thundermistlures 9 лет назад

Rick Rambo HI Rick....this way of fishing would work great in Delaware bay and elsewhere also....it's a fantastic way to fish and you will do well :) It's been a while since we fished Delaware bay, but maybe it's time to go there again as I remember it being great fishing

@FlimsTV 5 лет назад

Does that boat have a head?

@MIKEDAMIEN3 9 лет назад

Ivo do you tie your braid directly to the top eye of the t-turn? Or another length of leader to the main line?

@thundermistlures 9 лет назад

MIKEDAMIEN3 I like to use a leader line to the T-Turn and then a leader line to my Viper Spoon and sinker as well.....fish can see braid

@michaelforchetti1964 9 лет назад

Hello Ivo, could you send a link, post a sketch, or record a video of the best way/knot to tie a leader to the braid, then to the T-Turn? That would be helpful. Perhaps a swivel between the braid and leader is what you would recommend instead? And what lengths? If you could let us know that would be great.

@thundermistlures 9 лет назад

Michael Forchetti Hi Michael - check out these 3 videos from our RU-vid Channel, as I think you will find them useful :) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7CmRxGNnxHo.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zQu-hMQPFHw.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QsuFwO002zI.html

What is the daily limit on those Fluke fish there

@thundermistlures 8 лет назад

+Thomas Bridges The regulations for fluke limits change every year Thomas, so it';s best to check the 2016 regs to see what the limit will be this year. Limits of 5 or 6 are common, but please check your local regulations :)

@joshua-dj4pj 9 лет назад

What fishing line do you think is the best. Mono, Flouricarbon, Braid?

@thundermistlures 9 лет назад

joshua123 Hi Joshua - when drifting like this, I like to use braid as my main line and fluorocarbon as my leader line (such as ThunderBraid and ThunderCarbon lines) Here are 3 short videos to help give more tips on line: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-skSOqW9Fk3c.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aSxODTU1wI0.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3DjKQm7vUj0.html

@outlawsportfishing743 8 лет назад

Would you recommend spoons over bucktails when the drift is fast?

@thundermistlures 8 лет назад

Yes....absolutely....the Viper Spoons will work fantastic with a fast drift :)

Why do they have a dark side and a white side

@JaredUwon 9 лет назад

zackery atwood The white side is the side that stays on the ocean floor. The dark side is for camouflage.

Not sure what shows we will doing in 2016 yet....this year we were very busy with all our new products :) Just reently got back from the ICAST show in Florida - Hope you have been enjoying your summer

@michaelforchetti1964 9 лет назад

Hello Ivo, What size Viper Spoon and Cattail were you using? I want to order exactly what you used in the video ( I think you said SS20 and 6oz. cattail in the video). No doubt about their effectiveness...they are great:) I already purchased a few Viper Spoons from you, but I am unsure of when to use which size because if I use too small the hook is buried in the bait too far. Also, I was fishing for fluke yesterday in Brigantine, NJ. Normally a great time, however, yesterday was very troublesome because every time I dropped the line down my Viper Spoon, and along with either my bucktail or bank sinker, came up full of snagged seaweed. Very discouraging and resulted in next to no catches for the day. Do you have any advice when the seaweed conditions get that bad to utilize the tackle- other than call it a day and head in?

@thundermistlures 9 лет назад

Michael Forchetti HI Michael - the SS20 Viper spoon is exactly the one we used that day - you will do great with it. We also used the medium size T-Turn and a 6 oz Cattail sinker. The beauty of this rig, is that you can adjust the height - so if you have weeds close to the bottom, just tie on a T-Turn and then go down 4 feet or so to your Sinker - then use a short like such as 1 to 1 1/2 feet to your Viper Spoon. This will keep you out of the weeds and still in the stike zone of any bottom fish :) Good luck out there Michael - you will do great!
