Fishing Florida Backwaters for Redfish and Snook with a Fluke!

[@SharkForge29]

I swear, it's like an art watching fishermen just effortlessly place lures under mangroves. This inspires me to get into fishing honestly

[@heavyd777]

I used to use the white flukes for bass fishing. No weight and jerked it side to side. Also, I run the hook through the opposite direction so that the hook sits inside the groove and is somewhat hidden. The motion of the fluke darting side to side triggers good strikes from bass and snook. I have also caught small gag grouper and trout.

[@Kgoutdoor]

Bro this is all I used when bass fishing as a kid growing up. I could slow it down and get it deeper in the water column but 90% of the time I casted along the shoreline and worked it fast and on top. Had great success. Never used any other color other than white either.

[@ArtofHOPE_Podcast]

Great video! Also you can throw a light coat of Dr. Juice on your chest and the cougars at your local bar will go crazy.

[@miamiballin305]

The KVD Strike King shad/ fluke is my favorite. It’s heavier than the zoom and can be cast quite a ways further, MUCH further. Not as durable but has much better action in the water too. Pointed tail wiggles around a bunch, HIGHLY recommend it.

[@LetsGoGregg]

Good luck in your tournament!!! Try marinating the baits over night in the juice. Saves juice and I feel like it holds the scent longer

[@CurtCatchemFishing]

Nahh but can we bring attention to the skips on that fluke?! I see you JM! Skip Beast

[@djsthemetereman]

Man that looks like a Gamatkatsu hook very hard for fish to escape those super sharp hooks. Great action

[@derrellwhite1427]

Justin, the zoom white fluke is one of my favorite go to lures. I’ve caught several different species with it, including schooling dolphin of shore.

[@AchoPr777]

the ice white is killer

[@fabiansolis9060]

Great video man. Always enjoy watching em. Reminds me of a redfish I caught on a white fluke.

[@davidgalloway904]

Hey Justin, nice video. I also use Dr Juice and have caught Snook and other species using it, but from personal experience you only need a drop or two then rub it over the lure, otherwise you are going to burn through that little bottle! Much success in your tournament!

[@Marineboy22]

Great tip for us consumers, not for him, im sure they’ll send him as many bottles as he wants😂😂

[@SWFL_FISHING_239]

Watching your videos to get me ready for this tournament

That was a perfect tourney red

Hey Justin i was wondering where you got your hooks?

How did the Dr Juice taste on that sandwich!? 😂 Another awesome video! Keep them coming and good lucky in the tournament! 👍🏻🎣

It was bussin😂

[@sidl8698]

Id be throwing that hook away for good after that second fish lost lol.

[@benskai2475akurfishing]

the video casting with soft lure is really good, especially the fish oil is effective and effective bro

Thank you!

@@justin_menendez thanks again my friend

[@rambojones8711]

Is that tourney on 1000 island?

[@reddogleader1968]

Those fluke can be The Boss.

[@bbmon7571]

I use the pro cure ladyfish, a definite favorite. I do agree with you, however what I have learned with procure is to really smear it in and it seems to last longer. I have even fished it on a fluke with a jighead on the bottom and had snook pic it up.

Great vid. Do you have any wright on the fluke ? Do you hook it weedless ? Thanks for sharing

Flexing the skip for the first minute we like it 💪🏼😂

Sweet vid, I enjoyed it! Love that white fluke

Thanks Alex!

what set up was you using please and thank you.

You're a Savage for eating that sandwich with the doctor juice on your hands. I've done it before and gagged.

What’s the tournament you’re going to?

[@MvpAngler1040]

What size reel did were you using ? Thanks in advance.

Yes!

When will there be size smalls of the redfish shirt I need that!

[@RustyReels]

Nice work!

[@primetime1838]

What rod and reel were you using to throw the fluke?

[@CostalRunner]

Fenwick HMG and Penn clash I believe.

[@matthewmercer2477]

Dr Juice my ass ! Try jell instead, Liquid Mayhem Fish Attractant Scent Gel or Bass Dynasty Double Garlic Bd Slime. Hands down both are better than any oil based liquid. The Garlic works very well in salt water.

[@jefferydaniels4225]

What time you got more about snook fishing you got a tan your Dragon up as a little bit and keep pressure on the snook fish cannot let him get too much straight that’s why I keep coming loose and using the right bait flukes that’s why I usually catch snook soulmate in Tarpon and passing Peacock Bass and stuff like that good luck on your arm Ptonomy God bless you

[@gav3236]

what is the combo you are using in this video?

[@kevinwade2685]

I know these areas well! Gigged a many sheepshead around those islands.

[@AlexKorobov]

Also, I’ve tried that Dr Juice and from my use, seems like it dissolves too quick compared to Procure.

[@BigSteve34]

I’m my experience it just doesn’t show like the procure. If you smell it it smells stronger and you can actually see an oil trail in the water on dr. Juice and not procure but in think it’d be pretty hard to prove which is better

[@acvte4679]

If you put a large squirt of doctor juice into a zman bag the lures will soak it up completely and you wont see any oil at the bottom of the bag

[@asnermicah5956]

Make sure the lure is dry when you apply it.

[@justin_menendez]

All I remember from when I used procure is after like 10 casts I couldn’t smell it on the bait. After 10 casts of applying Dr. Juice I still could.

[@AlexKorobov]

Interesting, maybe it’s the visual that’s making me think it’s not there but the smell is, I guess I never actually smelt it haha.

[@fishingwithgriffin7178]

What is your opinion on the Dr Juice vs Procure?

[@chrisdravez6837]

Where are you at of? Jupiter?

[@williamblack2549]

Brevard county

[@stephenlarkowski8186]

What battery are you using for your trolling motor? Is that a 55lb thrust?

[@jayjohnson9668]

Yea man I just ordered my first bottle of Dr Juice and interested in how its gonna work. Like you I used to use Pro Cure but wasnt happy how it wouldnt stay on very long. Gonna be heading to Sanibel for a week in mid April so I will see how it works out!😎

[@fishingwithz7751]

Dr juice is oil based it holds a lot better to the bait

[@geraldsaved]

Have you used a magnum fluke ?

[@TristianKowalczyk]

Every time you put the juice on you should dump it into a Ziploc baggie that way you just can keep reusing it rather than wasting and putting all that stuff into the water

[@justin_menendez]

Yeah I was thinking that I should let them soak in it and it would last longer.

[@MrBassturbater]

love it

[@mrice4879]

Are you in south Florida

[@slimematerial0624]

What’s your setup looking to buy a good inshore setup??

[@lukesutton756]

Is there a specific one to get or are they all the same I’m just wondering which ones you used in this video

[@nrg7397]

Hey man how do you prove the fish you caught while in the tournament??

[@justin_menendez]

Photo and a provided ruler

[@SWFL_FISHING_239]

I just need one nice snook and redfish combined

[@caseymoss7633]

Never been a fan of bait PED’s. Tried em in the past but went back to the ol 3” curl tail straight. Ain’t hating. Im sure you’ll catch more than me.

[@tomschaefer874]

Great video. I'm new to the channel and wondering what part of Florida you are fishing.

[@justin_menendez]

East coast

[@cameronkanner3186]

Sick video Justin! I switched over to the Dr. Juice a little bit ago and haven't looked back, I feel like it dissolves into the lure better even if you cant still see it and stays on longer. Hooked into some nice snook and reds like you on my last trip out using it.

[@jamimbi]

White fluke is my confidence bait

[@nathanpriechenfried6216]

Any tips for muddy/murky water reds? I can't really sight fish too well and blind casting doesn't produce anything. Ive only ever had results with live bait.

[@giancarlofishing9473]

Try using any paddle tail or shrimp with a chartreuse color tail. Like the z-man minnowz root beer and chartreuse tail

[@alexanderren1097]

Gold spoons or "cajun magic" style spinnerbaits. No fancy retrieve needed. Just cast and reel back at a moderate/slow speed

[@rylo7032]

you gotta set that hook on a texas rig like that

[@bbmon7571]

oh and I forgot to say I put the pro cure in the hook channel. That helps keep it longer

[@mikebrandt5754]

Anyone know the name of the tournament?

[@trevor3113]

Keep your rod tip down and you won’t lose as many. Nice casts tho 👍

[@route9records]

Why not put spray some scent in the package and let it soak in while they're being stored?

[@justin_menendez]

I should have done that and I’ll definitely do that next time.

[@route9records]

Using an actual fluke hook will increase your landing percentage.

I’ve never heard of a fluke hook. I’ll have to look that up.
