It's amazing how many KZbinrs are now showing your exact techniques on their channels. I even see the crank baits now being used in the surf(same general area too)

[@CookingandFishing]

Some do give me credit which is unnecessary but appreciated. Others want to pretend they came up with the light single jig/JBs/CBs for fluke which gives me a chuckle but it's all good. Not everyone can come up with original ideas, and by the time they upload a couple of videos I'm on to the next thing :)

[@telford2155]

the other channels should be called copying and fishing

Awesome video! Thanks for the cooking tips learned a lot. I truly have to invite myself over to eat our catches

[@fishingbear69]

Thats for sure..your so blessed ​@@CookingandFishing

[@user-tz7me5jk3e]

Catch and Cooks are the best!! I caught a nice 22 incher last week and treated it the same way and fried it 3 days later and it was amazing. Of course I caught on 1/4 ounce jighead and 6 inch jerkshad!

[@CookingandFishing]

That's awesome!! So gratifying to hear results like that!

[@fishingbear69]

Woww hopefully one day I'll be like you teacher , your amazing fisherman and cook , making me so so hungry for that fresh battered fluke..I'll save this other video from you so I can try the fishing & cooking technique, again thank you.. MAESTRO for sharing , we are all so grateful to you , please keep them coming.. 🙏🏽

[@CookingandFishing]

Haha thank you!!! Fishing and cooking and many things - all about technique!!

[@ejrocks10]

I can attest the lesson is EXTREMELY VALUABLE! Way more beneficial then spending your money on trial and error especially if you don't have unlimited financial resources lol. Roger knows his stuff and can translate information in a way that is simple and easy to understand.

[@CookingandFishing]

Thanks EJ!!!!

[@dayamanimahesh6633]

Roger please do more cooking videos lol! 😂 Love that dish at the end. I gotta get out there to catch me some dinner so that I can cook something like this 😂 Thanks for sharing your cooking knowledge as well! Definitely bonus content

[@CookingandFishing]

lol ty - more to come (hopefully!)

[@frrok1]

Finally a cooking video! Always learning from you, so thanks. I’ve tried the spinner a few times and tbh I think it feels slightly too heavy. . I’m sure the slow fall is killer -but it feels very weird to me after getting used to the 1/4 jig head/6” jerk shad combo. I just feel really confident in that. I use the 7’6 ML-M Tatula. Rated up to 1/2oz. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@CookingandFishing]

Haha now it feels weird NOT having that spinner thump my rod tip...hey it's all about confidence - I don't always use the blade there are situations the blade can literally and figuratively slow you down. Hopefully something I'll address in a future video!

[@georgeniebergall7074]

Another absolutely excellent video from you congratulations and that Finn meat that you call it is the tastiest part of the fish. Lots of people throw it away crazy it’s delicious. It’s also good as ceviche.

[@GregBradshaw-uz3ff]

Once again fishing lake placid 😊 really love to see techniques for out front rough surf

[@CookingandFishing]

Yeah it's a pier there's not going to be waves crashing onto it. Rough surf it's the same technique you just need to adjust to wave action and most importantly wind. Sometimes all you can do is pitch-cast 30ft at w/e angle the wind lets you. I have videos going over how to deal with wind but honestly if it's blowing 20+ in any onshore direction even if you can jig perfectly the bite sucks.

[@quranbriggs]

Ohhhh so that’s how you use those things 💯👌🏾

[@dangareau]

Love that Rapala ruler. Ordered it after I saw a previous video of yours and it kicks ass. Was planning on ordering the net but not sure what size

[@CookingandFishing]

LC500 is what I have

[@dangareau]

@@CookingandFishing I was gonna grab the 600, but was debating the 500. I'll be ordering the 600 and I'll fill you in when I get to try it out

Great video again. Was hoping you could show how you prefer to bleed your fish. Thanks ahead of time .

[@georgeniebergall7074]

@@MUDDUCKS47 he cuts on the white side directly in the center of the fish behind the head. I cut just sliced the tail on the white side in the back that’s another way to bleed out.

[@bena4072]

Nice recipe - going fishing tomorrow morning so will try it! Ordered the blades to try those too - I’ve been using inline freshwater spinners (3/8 oz double blade panther martins with the treble hook replaced) for a couple years now for fluke with success. You fish them differently than 1/4oz jig/gulp. With the gulp, these blades combine best of both worlds so excited to try! Do you get a more bluefish bycatch? Sometimes that is an issue with the spinner as the summer moves along

[@CookingandFishing]

Not saying a bluefish won't chop it off but I've been lucky - lost zero blades to blues this year so far. Most of my blade casualties were short fluke ripping it off lol

[@acrylicpangolin]

yesss catch and cook

[@CookingandFishing]

Haha I know it's been awhile

[@IEsty55]

Great video as always! I’ve been wondering, what factors help you determine if a spot is worth checking out?

[@CookingandFishing]

I drop pins on google maps - any pier/beach/public access spots, then usually I show up and start casting - that's the best way once you have your technique dialed in.

[@abrahamjoseph6707]

Your you tube videos are full of great ideas and tips. Learn something new Everytime. Thanks Roger.

[@abrahamjoseph6707]

What is your favorite twin power model(XD, TP, FE, or SW) in 3000 hg model for light tackle for mostly saltwater. Thanks Roger.

[@CookingandFishing]

@@abrahamjoseph6707 It depends on your intended purpose but for my fluking it's the new FE all the way (the rest are OLD models lol)

[@abrahamjoseph6707]

Just order 2 sets of dirty jersey blades. I am a live bait flounder fisherman. But I have to try these blades for some flounders in galvz, tx

[@abrahamjoseph6707]

Can you do a quick video on how to rig the jerk shad with blade and jig head?

[@CookingandFishing]

@@abrahamjoseph6707 I'll try to remember to include that in a video, but it's very simple you'll see when you get the blades there's a screw lock and you just screw it into the gulp

[@michaelmoran5318]

Is that the spyderco magnacut salt series? Is it worth the price tag in your opinion?

[@CookingandFishing]

no I think it's the gen2 Dragonfly Salt serrated - very old knife but works a charm

[@salvatorecosta197]

Hi Roger. Do you have any experience with the phenix RTS rods for kayak fluking shallow water?

[@CookingandFishing]

I don't - if you have it try it, if you don't...check out one of the rods in the video description

[@salvatorecosta197]

Thanks man I really enjoy watching your videos.

[@evanlampert4538]

When leaving the wrapped fluke fillets in the fridge for 2-3 days, how often do you change the paper towels they are wrapped in?

[@CookingandFishing]

I'll check after a day and if the paper towel is soaked through I'll swap it out.

[@flatlanderoutdoors2549]

Take my money!

[@CookingandFishing]

[@kramdin12]

I've been looking at your videos before you became famous 😅

[@CookingandFishing]

LOL and I appreciate it!!!

[@mcdude3005]

Could you recommend a rod for inlet fishing under $300? Making it through the course and need to upgrade! Thanks

[@CookingandFishing]

I just use the same rods I use from shore, but if you wanted a longer rod the Labrax 90ML or Dialuna 90ML are very nice and can throw slightly heavier weights up to 1/2oz jigheads + gulp if you're dealing with a moon tide current (but generally 1/4 - 3/8oz is all you need)

[@mcdude3005]

@@CookingandFishing yeah definitely will use 3/8 occasionally. Looking at the 7’6 expride and 7’6 tatula AGS. Any input?

@@mcdude3005 I've never fished the Expride 76 but from what I hear it's a tad stouter than the Tatula AGS 76

[@pieseasmyseas]

More fishing less flapping!

[@frankschannel2642]

I'm perplexed re: spinner blade. How do these not get immediately bitten off??? Aren't we just substituting lost spinners for lost Gulp tails??? If there was a wire shaped like this --------> or THIS --------o to push through to "hook" on the hook or all the way to the jig head where it could be secured along with the jig head with a clip...

[@CookingandFishing]

It started off as an idea to save/repurpose gulp baits with missing tails, but now I use them for their own sake most of the time. The problem with a long wire that connects to the hook is it kills the action of the gulp. Check the underwater footage of the jerkshad with and w/o blade attachment moving through the water - there is a lot of tail and body shimmy and a through-wire keeper for the blade will kill that movement. Anyway, they are reasonably durable but yeah you can lose 3 on 5 shorts or you can catch 10 keepers on 1 blade attachment - usually it's somewhere in between.

[@frankschannel2642]

@@CookingandFishing Maybe 15 lbs. braid on a needle, passed to the jig head? I dunno. Here on Long Island some days the fluke just gobble the Gulp tails even if you drop back and give them ample opportunity to take the whole bait & hook. Happened to me all day on 7/2/24 and that somehow led me to your video...Definitely going to try your recipe though! Looks amazing.

[@CookingandFishing]

@@frankschannel2642 part of the solution is to never, ever "drop back" and "let them eat." Any fish that couldn't inhale a 6" jerkshad in a split second is a short, and a small short at that, and you end up gut/gill hooking healthy shorts over 16, 17".

[@Huge4Fish]

[@nickfury324]

Just started watching your videos and I’m enjoying the content. One comment though and maybe I’m missing it but I’ve noticed you bleed out the fish without dispatching it first. Not really humane to the fish.

[@georgeniebergall7074]

Please can I have the contact number or website to go to to buy that telescopic fishing that that you have I tried looking for it but I must’ve spelled it wrong or something I would appreciate if you let me know thank you

It's called the Major Craft Last Cast Net, you can try amazon or ebay - I have the LC500 model which extends to 5 meters or roughly 16 feet.

Well, you gave me a heart but you didn’t give me the website to buy the net. I’m telling everybody about your website. It’s just fantastic. Give me a break. I’m disabled vet so it’s hard for me to do things.
