This is a how to video on the best way to fish a fluke. First master the Senko and the next step is to master the Fluke. Now I'll show you how I fish it!
Roland, the great point being quiet in fishing just like hunting, I have walked up on ponds before too quick and scared Bass away and seen wakes. It was good to hear you instructed rifle in the US Army, I love a good rifle, I also get the point to be a line watcher, like a scope on a rifle.
I know it's cliche to say, but Roland I can promise that you forgot more about bass fishing than I can probably learn and that's what is so awesome watching you work your magic because it's filled with a mountain of tip's and trick's that I can never turn down the opportunity to learn!!
I love the fluke! Specially for fall small mouth.. been fishing it on the river here in Illinois and catching numbers of small mouth when others around me aren't
Thank you Roland for all your videos and information. Been out of fishing for a long time. Fishing is all I used to do and I'm so rusty and out of the loop your videos are just fantastic. Been to black butte lake in CA 5 times and only been catching a few small bass but again I'm rusty and been doing the wrong things. So I'm grateful for your videos. My dream is to fish oakachobee( probably didn't spell that right). Maybe one day. Hoping to hit clear lake CA soon. Big bass there and maybe a senko or fluke will bag me a few. Thanks again for all your videos Roland.
Thanks for your advice Roland. I have learned a lot from your videos. I love senko fishing. I caught all my bass on senko's. I'm still learning every day.
Thank you Sir this one gave more some ideas to try. I fish a lot of swift water canals here in So Cal desert. Going to use this method to get under the low bridges and crossings
Thank you Roland. That was so helpful. I do fish a fluke often, I like the baby bass color, have also caught some on a white with a chartreuse tail, but love tell you did it on a loopknot with the breed and leader combo. Thanks a million I always enjoy your videos.
Been following and watching Roland for 30+ years. Growing up without someone in my family to teach me I learned so much from KVD, Roland,Bill Dance, Larry Nixon ect. You guys are all legends. Thank you
Flukes and trick worms will catch fish ANYWHERE. Of course you had senkos in your front pocket the whole time. Lol! My "go-to" is the truck worm rigged whacky. Reason one, I am a Miami fan and a whacky trick worms makes a U. Reason two, it's an easy rig to watch and cover a lot ground with. Reason three, you can reuse it until it's completely gone.
I've used a silver speckled 2 inch bass assassin for years as my secret weapon. Throw it out there and jerk it HARD, then let it fall for a few seconds. Jerking it often results in a hook set as they grab it on the fall. I never caught many big ones this way, but tend to rack up numbers of smaller fish, which is OK for me. That being said, this hasn't worked well for me this year. I've been doing ok on drop shots, wacky rigs and Ned rigs, but not as well as I have done over the years with the Bass Assassin.
This is exactly how you should rig a fluke, weightless, weedless and twitching. So many people and videos on RU-vid have tried to tell me not to use EWG hooks and leave the hook exposed, but they are wrong. Fishing a fluke is as much about technique as it is about rigging the fluke. Roland's rigging works because he has perfected his technique. Improve your technique and this rigging will work.
Roland, my flukes haven't seen the light of the day for quite some time because of fishing other baits. But after watching you today you have got me excited to fish the fluke again. Thanks and take care.
this guy is a legend. I have been learning a lot from him before RU-vid. So awesome to see Roland teaching. This is great wisdom. You can't beat experience. This guy has seen so much innovation in artificial lurers. The proof in in the pudding. Look at all the giant bass he catches.
Thank you, Mr. Martin!! Another great lesson!! I've caught a lot of bass on flukes, but I expect to do better, now!! I've never tried the loop knot, and that extra motion really should make a difference. Without it, I've been restricting the motion a bit, no doubt!
Learned bass fishing from good old boys in ocala fl. Very same method but with 8lb. Mono using either manns jelly worms or crème scoundrels that was 35 years ago still my favorite way to bass fish
Man the fluke is money at the lake I like to fish. The fluke and the senko is deadly! I use the zoom flukes, but recently I’ve been using the 6th sense version of the fluke called the Flush, and man that bait has me so impressed. It gets crushed! You need to give it a try Mr. Martin. My best day fishing was last fall when those bass was busting shad up by the bank and I would throw that 6th sense fluke over to where they were busting and would get bite every cast. It was incredible!
I'm going to keep it real with you I'm learning so much from you, you have no idea how much fish I've been catching by watching from you, man one day we will fish together. 😎👍🇺🇸🎣🥊💯💯💯
My secret is in the hook. I use a 4/0 Gamakatsu Skip-Gap Hook, the bend in the hook helps keep the placement true without effecting the action. You guys must try it!!
I switched to the offset worm hook for flukes after I started gut-hooking too many smallies on the EWG's. Haven't lost one after that, and the 5" superfluke in green pumpkin magic has been my #1 confidence bait all summer and fall.
Bass man over there catching em all like Pokémon over there recently while I was bass fishing i caught a mega trout on some new bait i tried from Berkley here where I live there just smallmouth, stripers and perch so it helps watching this!
At first I thought he had cowboy boots on, God love him! I grew up with him, Bill Dance, Virgil Ward, etc. They had shows on TV back when there were only a handful of channels.
On lake Juliette, plant scherer near Macon Georgia, a super fluke with a split shot about a foot above the hook is deadly on schooling striped bass. Schools bustin shad as big as a football field. It’s unbelievable, I love the fluke, I’m pretty sure I’ve mastered it, probably my number one lure of all time, and made in Georgia!! Go dawgs!
Me: Hey Roland do you have a 🖊 pen Roland: no but i have a senko Lol i love your Vids keep up the great job teaching us and spreading the knowledge. God Bless and have fun fishing
My record for a day is 44 bass in a 7 hour on a 14 acre pond, how many do I need to catch? My record is 22 on one top water. I am always happy to bring home my limit of 6 per day. Do gar an catfish count
I love, love, love fluke fishing. I watch all kinds of fishing videos and have often wondered why I don’t see people using the fluke more. Weightless is great, but I also like to use a small weighted EWG with a spring. And if you really wanted to double your chances, try my double fluke rig! This is a killer Spring tactic. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-STsPUu8MKzc.html
