[@timconnors3211]

learning learning learning thats why we all watch... hope you're having a nice break, i had to go into the archives to my fix for today... great fun and better flounder...

[@timconnors3211]

to get my fix

[@allanatthefishinglab]

Great plan B,C,D, etc! Love your slow days to see your diversity!

[@masonberg4491]

I like the debriefing sessions afterwards in your apartment. Great content. 👍🏻

[@jamesireland9188]

I really enjoyed the surf fishing video would be cool to see some more of them. Have a good weekend and stay safe Jimmy from Massachusetts

[@eugeneweeks3325]

Nice puppy drum and awesome flattie.!!!!!!!!!!

[@traumahawk517]

Love your video's Elias,,Thank You for all of the hard work and Time you put into making them for us!

[@hunterguy4630]

I would like to see more just you and the camera talking techniques. You are very knowledgeable and I feel like people, including myself, could learn a lot.

[@DustinPFishing]

I agree, I’m 33 and was born and raised here and have fortunately always had my lifetime sportsman’s license, I saw you the past couple day’s near the inside of jetty rocks, I just got a boat and have only been catching sharks, sting rays, lizard fish, sea bass and oyster toad fish, I think I need to get closer to the jetty, do you have a advice for me to catch more dinner? If you ever want to make a video on my new boat I’d be down to go learn and record you fishing, I have a 2005 sea hunt victory 225 dual console with all the basics and a few decent rods for jetty fishing and a little offshore and the motor is a 2019 with 60 hours on it, [e-mail] is my email,

[@brooklynanglerfishing]

Thats a nice doormat man, great color on her too. Congrats bro🎣💪

[@thomasjarosz7406]

Elias, Show us your Jetty lunkers. When in doubt get the Rapalas out! Prayers sent for Meg, Elias. God bless

[@nivlanamstory3981]

I have learned a lot watching your videos thank you

[@johnsmalldridge6356]

Elias, the best N.C. Pompano run usually occurs from late September to November. A few can be caught all summer but nothing like the fall. Years ago I saw a fishing show that featured a guide who put clients onto pompano with artificial lures somewhere down there in Wilmington. I think they were fishing somewhere on the inside.

[@jcarry5214]

Liked the rundown at the end.

[@tinkmarshino]

Love it.. sorry for the hard morning.. but it is fun to kind of experiment around with different lures, jigs etc. at time.. Keep learning.. that was some floor mat you got though! woof!

[@Walt1119]

Turned out a pretty good day, wow what a flounder! Thanks for sharing your vids are great! Good luck on your outback, was wondering what was going on with it..

[@turttlefield08iscool]

Those pompano jigs catch everything here in Florida on the beach and in passes, inlets. Definitely great lures.

[@ehenjehhehdhdbje3201]

Elias back at it again

[@gerardamitranno8837]

Nice flounder on that jig !!!

[@dharlow5810]

You're the only person in the world that could catch that sheepshead on that lure. 🤣🤣

[@specfever2]

I haven't caught a thing on one of Doc's goofy jig. Giving me hope bc my overall dream fish is a large flounder (they do go over 10 lbs here in NC!) and sheepshead!

[@specfever2]

I should add I ordered mine from Florida after reading up on pompano.

[@unclejers]

I wonder if you can scale up the goofy jig for deeper water applications. The profile looks great for all sorts of bottom fish. Great vid (as always). That s. flounder was an awesome specimen.

[@yung_lemon6314]

If you catch a 5+ pound flounder right now, is there a way to register it for a citation?

[@jaketashner6572]

caught my first cobia yesterday on a live spot in hampton roads area! would be nice to see you hook one down there!

[@person390]

Is the kayak hevy and how wide is it what's the farthest from shore have vencherd ? GREAT ACTION !

[@JDTee79]

That’s a nice looking kayak. What should I budget for some beginner gear. I could never afford a proper boat.

[@irod7]

Thats a good day🎣

[@whipsawsportfishing]

Awesome catch!

[@danielvillafane7267]

Great vid, guess where my buddies and I are fishing tomorrow Elias? Peconic Bay LI likely for porgies!... I would so try these lures for them. Maybe next time.

[@chrisguice139]

Looks like a good spot to spearfish and pick some stone crab claws.

[@marthalanier5677]

Those Redfish look sweet too. Snook season just went out. I caught a few under sized but did not catch an eater. Oh well! Next time!😎

[@jperiksen]

blade baits kick ass for porgies in shallow, catch a lot of fluke on them as well when they are up on the flats.

[@gabriel84]

I'm going on a charter boat tomorrow for scup and black sea bass and only now you tell me about those? lol I just bought one to see how it does next time. thanks Elias.

[@ecmo2007]

Did you or can you do a video on your truck racks and getting the old town on there? Looks like you can fit 2 pretty wide kayaks up there? Also do you have or could you do a video on your single rig jigging technique? I just started getting into Kayak fishing. Also have never done well jigging and am determined to get it nailed down. Either way, Thank you for the cool videos!

[@KCsniper79]

I had just seen some newer blade baits from Rapala with like 5 holes on top, I guess if you tie on the first hole you get more depth an the last hole towards the tail you get to fish or troll shallower water, but definitely gotta check the goofy jigs out maybe I’ll get lucky over here in the northeast, take it easy E an keep em coming 🎥 🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@raymondperales6612]

Great video thank you for sharing.

[@edwardthayer9386]

Flounder colors are awesome looking. Sorry if I missed it but what state is this in? Thanks for your time.

[@RickysFishingAdventures]

Really catches 💪 we don't have much flounder here i love to catch one that big 👊💪

[@afout07]

What makes that Rapala look good for sheepshead? What do you look for in an artificial that would work for them?

[@batch23mmp59]

I thought goofy jigs are only good for pompano, now I learn from you it is a red fish killer, thank you.

[@BostonDort]

I hope you like that new cooler bag, because I just ordered one today!

[@whome8845]

Thanks for the great video

[@SunnyIlha]

Elias might you try the 4-5" classic countdown sinking Rapala minnow The old school one😁

[@Bobb1julie]

Nice video Elias. I was going to ask you you hold your lucky lure 3 sec for a screen shot . Have a great season and be safe ..TU

[@JohnGFish]

Elias do you still use the Stradics? Wondering how they hold up?

[@kennywolfjr.6413]

It's funny, I found your channel a while ago because My first salt fish was a Oyster Toadfish over on Camp Lejeune (From WV) Now I'm just watching to learn how to effectively fish the salt lol

[@adamholston2269]

I would love to take you cobia and flounder fishin at the Chesapeake bay bridge

[@neal4reel723]

Do you jig the goofys as they are ?

[@SeaNaCl]

Oh dang we live in the same city! Or at least we fish the same area haha.

[@stevehogan8829]

That is an absolute beauty, man o man. Nice job. Would have tasted great but glad to know it's probably still floundering around haha sorry, had to.

[@KEVVIE37]

Those are some big words you said at the end their fella.. Hahahaha

[@andymearns2172]

I live in Oak Island. Do you fish much near the ADM dock? I think I saw a video of you pulling up a big Black Drum there? I love your videos

[@chgotrkr6721]

I had Fish Sticks for lunch today 🐟🐟🐟

[@VonixOG]

Is this Wilmington? Wrightsville beach?

[@morrisronald96]

Been brutal this year catching slab flounders and releasing all of them but boy august is coming soon 🤤🤤🤤

[@plantcitychuck2551]

I was throwing a chatterbait in dirty rough water for snook and got a nice flounder.surprised I was

[@blackeagle2987]

Good job bro, here in New Jersey, we dont have a lot of fish like in North Carolina

[@normd9910]

BROTHER do you recommend the reel you are using? What kind reel is it?

[@brettmckune2356]

Is this the Avalon inlet ?

[@mrguppy1016]

HEY ELIAS i want to buy a kayak Which one would you recommended buddy.??

[@EliasVFishing]

Lots of options. I currently own a Predator PDL & a Hobie Outback

[@mrguppy1016]

EliasVFishing I know you do And I know there are a bunch But If you had the chance to buy a New spanking one Which one would you go Don’t get me Wrong I like your predator though

[@walldog1457]

Ok now i have too get the GOOFY JIG,DANG just when you think you have enough mind Blowing tackle. Thanks .......

[@ang-theguerrillaangler2046]

I’ve used metal blade baits for walleye on the Delaware River then i figures let me try the blue baits on stripers in Jamaica bay and bingo blade baits killed the bridges and pilings. Need afew of them Rapala blade baits and them pompano baits need them they will crush the porgies

[@ChasinTailTampaBay]

Run those goofy jigs through the troughs on the beach

[@angledcanoe]

I really enjoy your videos. How do you like the Humminbird fish finder compared to the Lowrance you had on the Hobie?

[@EliasVFishing]

I like the humminbird better

[@ee3206]

What state is this??

[@rachelthompson9324]

Fellows? We ladies fish ,too. +)

[@juliemmartinez1461]

We sure do, and we can out fish the boys too

[@jeromewalton5553]

@@juliemmartinez1461 careful big talk leads to slack lines:)

[@stevehogan8829]

Hey Hey Me my friend and my other friend, (the first friends wife) all fish. I"m constantly competing against the lady in the group. She loves to fish like I do and always, and I mean always gets the biggest or the best,,, almost every time.

[@chrisguice139]

Hookem up saltwater mamas.

[@tylercahill7859]

Do you think they’d be good for kingfish and weekies in cape may?

[@EliasVFishing]

Yes!!

[@tylercahill7859]

EliasVFishing thank you!!

[@thestormrunners]

What paddle do you use?

[@thaddeus46]

Let's get that "Goofy Jig" brand trademarked. Who could resist buying them?

[@dannyharvey8232]

How far above the bottom do you jig for flounder?

[@YoungSalts]

Nice flounder

[@markw176]

Nice video! Off topic... would you go with a stradic fl or the stradic ci4 for in shore? Thanks!

[@EliasVFishing]

I have the FL. I think either would be fine

[@nikolaikassogue3363]

Great vid!

[@johnrickards1908]

Man, the longer your beard gets the more you look like Joshua James the kiwi bush man. Twins bro'. LOL

[@Bamapride1000]

When does the season open back up for flounder there?

[@adventureswithken1983]

August

[@liftedpotato6973]

What's size is your diawa I just picked up 3 one 6000 and 2 5000 series normally a stradic guy but figured I would try them out how do you like it ?

[@EliasVFishing]

20h

[@clarkeadickes9351]

Did you get a measurement on the flounder?

[@EliasVFishing]

Nah was goodie tho

[@BigMike52986]

I didn’t know pompano traveled that far north I wonder if any hang out around VA too. Where can I find those goofy jigs skirted or did you do it yourself bro?

[@talleyoussie]

You can catch pompano in Sandbridge, when the water gets warmer.

[@EliasVFishing]

I think they occasionally get them in Delaware.

[@EliasVFishing]

Check link in videos description for the jigs

[@BigMike52986]

Awesome thanks

[@fireflame1117]

Question: Which brand of lure would you recommend that has the strongest and sharpest hooks overall?

[@namjachannel5814]

very fun 😻😻🙀🙀

[@jinchung4150]

Where is this place? South Tx?

[@EliasVFishing]

NC

[@cbreeze5279]

well done

[@lmpbzkt1]

Damn right!

[@flyslinger2]

I took the foil off of gum packs and wrapped around a hook and tore up a small mouth bass stream.

[@FishingwithBrewski]

Are you done with Hobie for good?

[@FishingwithBrewski]

nvm I saw the end

[@brandonsherfield868]

How do you like your spin fisher vI? I want to get a 3500

[@EliasVFishing]

Best low maintenance reel I’ve ever owned

[@josephstreet3407]

Do ou put a strip on the goofyjig?

[@EliasVFishing]

Sometimes. Doesn’t seem to help the dink sea bass or pinfish situations

[@adamsmith8533]

I think Lauri Rapala should throw ya a few bucks for this vid !

[@zeronaught7932]

Those goofy jigs gonna owe you dude, they're sold out on your link!

[@dailyfishingadventures3299]

Love it

[@marthalanier5677]

I just cringe when you throw those beautiful Sheepshead back in.... I would love to eat him! Haven’t been able to get to the water because my husband is not well.

[@timmy1tap678]

is it just me or does anyone else think that founder also know when it's not flounder season?🤣

[@larrysheetmetal]

I have fished blade lures, ZIP LURE, if can find them, Tiger stripe ones are the best , they catch perch, rock Blue fish ,Basically if there is a fish around He'll hit it the Zip Lure.

[@jonathane984]

Nice flat fish Elias. Just a few more months and you can take them home for dinner. I'm telling yah man. Ditch the yaks a get a small bay boat. Ain't nothing but debt. Join the club.

[@EliasVFishing]

Boats too easy. Still love challenge of manual powered vessel

[@jonathane984]

@@EliasVFishing yeah but say you're in Masonboro Inlet, not hitting on much or the boat traffic is ridiculous, you could be at CB inlet in 10 minutes, not hitting much there, be at Hewletts creek in 5 mins, then check Banks Channel 5 mins away. Kayaks have their place but if want to go from plan a to plan b, plan c, then back to plan a after the crowd leaves, it's much easier in a boat.

[@tlsmoke23]

My pb sand perch on the goofy. Headed to Connecticut mañana will give it a try. Nice flat.

[@jessicamiyuki3196]

👏

[@mattkubisiak7760]

Are you just bouncing those goofy jigs off the bottom like any other metal or soft plastic?

[@EliasVFishing]

Basically. Casting and rolling off rocks too

[@Anglerzack01]

Sick!

[@mistapikkles]

Blade bait catches in all conditions

[@robertgerber2533]

I can’t believe Hobie doesn’t take care of you. With all the advertising and exposure you give them, they should give you a new kayak every year

[@TheFishingMommy]

You just need a good relationship with a local dealer to get that.

[@summerhunter2004]

Awsome

[@loganlee46]

Need to put a camera down there my friend
