The Easiest Way to Catch Fluke/Summer Flounder 

Love it, fluking the old fashioned way - how I did it growing up. A bucket of killies and some lead sinkers.

I haven’t used bait for fluke in over 10 years my dad bring killies every time and I outfish him 10/1

Great time Capt!

For inland bays flounder after you tie the dropper loop, cut the loop 1/2” from the main line and then you have a single line coming out to tie the hook to. It is a more natural presentation. Put a spro bucktail with gulp on the bottom loop vice a sinker.

I've been making that rig as well the past couple years...back to basics...works great!

Nice catch Captain Chris !! Nice simple fluke rig works all the time !! Thank you for the video !!

GULP RULES …. Beats squid strips or killies every time IMO, but I do is everything. Good video 👍🏼

Great job Chris keep em coming. Best of luck and be safe out their in the canyons.

I fished the belmar inlet today for the first time on my bass tracker. A couple shorts on gulp. Got outfished by the other boats with live killies.. lesson learned

Great video as always Reaper🤙🏻

As usual another greta video!! I love my Tsunami 6'4" Slim Wave as it's probably the strongest flounder rod I have ever used but has plenty of flexibility to feel every bite and movement.

Little reaper on the meat!!! Nice video dude!! I like the rig setup ,it sure is deadly. Thanks for the video and good luck out in the deep. Looking forward to the videos

Awesome video thank you

Nice video going down the beach this weekend. Hopefully I can catch some on a charter boat. 😊

Awesome videos reap! Seen you pull up at 19 fathom last week when we were out, can’t remember if it was Monday or Wednesday when I seen you

Long time no talk Chris. Catching up on all the content now. Fishing has been alright here in cape may. For me it has been inconsistent. Great video bro! Havent been out to the canyons yet this summer. Glad to see the tile fishing good! I can't wait to get out there.

I tie mine the exact same way except I just use the pre snelled fluke hooks with 24” of leader , make my dropper loop about 16-18” up and on that I’ll fish a bucktsil for whatever the conditions may be unless it’s very dirty I’ll replace it with a weight to avoid the bucktail on the ground dragging weeds. It’s a little bit opposite of what you’re doing bc my teaser hook which is usually the most productive is the very bottom of the rig and the dropper loop is my weight whicheber it may be and then my gulp or minney has 16-18” of free play to travel up down all around or trailing etc dependent on conditions and it seems to get them really excited especially if you’re creating chaos with some constant super super super light bounces of the bucktail. Will have to give your way a shot I like the idea of that for high current days bc it will give me more control in keeping it vertical and if you ever get around to it try it the way I do it I think you’ll see a bit of a change in fish behavior. I get super aggressive bites this way and they just take it bc it’s constantly moving it’s never still for them to pick up and do their little backwards jiggle swim away move they do I find that if it’s making chaos it kicks in their predatorial instincts and they just hammer it. Btw bft and Spanish hanging right by the reef directly out east of you. We crushed them last Friday and Monday on skirted ballyhoos and pitching poppers. I imagine you got word of them being in already but in the event you haven’t figured I’d throw it out there since I’m pretty sure you’ll understand the reef I’m referring to

Can you do a rigging ballyhoo video and more videos of boat maintenance and just odds and ends getting ready for trips and getting the boat read

Hey capt Chris! I was watching your fluke video when your buddy stopped by on his edgewater 31. Sure, looks like the boat I talked to on the radio Monday out on the ridge. I'm the guy on the Grady.

17 inches in NJ?! Wow! NYC is 18.5 inches. Caught a lot of 17-18 inches this summer but only caught two 21-22 inches. May have to make the move next door. Great video.

Fluke regulations in NJ are ridiculous.

Reaper!

Hey Chris, what is the minimum temperature break or range for yellowfin and You fish the warm side or cold side

Tying a dropper loop

Chris what setup do you like when fishing the reefs 4-5 miles out in 60-70ft water? I've lone used my high/low tipped with gulp but anything else you recommend?

How do you find your fishing spots on the Windy app so you know the wave heights I am trying to look for the mudhole, and it’s not there I see everything else like Texas Tower but not the Mudhole is it because I have to pay so I can see everything?

Where's the tank tops at

What type of area were you targeting these fish? Mud bottoms, channel edges, sunken debris, etc.

Can the rod be used for surf fishing

Damn.. wearing those “dad lawn cutter” 3000 sneaks.

A fluke slot is silly.

dude whats your secret to how you got shredded for this tuna season?

What do you do for a living?

You kept the one fish at 17 inches isn't minimum 18

'Minnies' and several 'you alls' is telling me you might not have started in NJ. True?

Ozempic

AFI FANS UNITE!!

Must be nice to rec fish for the best table fish. Can't even keep one in the state of NC. Wtf.

If you are foraging for food there is no limit on what you can keep, because there are no laws restricting foraging for food, and there can be no laws or foraging for food, the word fishing and hunting have become commercial terms, so if you are not in commerce the government has no subject matter jurisdiction in your life.

A paid commercial with too much boring blah blah blah
