[@alaskangirl7675]

Congratulations on two flounder wins! The best part is you won using your own lure! I love watching these tournaments-I get anxious watching and it’s so fun. Hoodwink! Have a great trip! Can’t wait to watch the videos.

[@southernsalt]

Thank you!! 1 more 14 hour flight and I’m there 🙌

[@BigME_80]

Great Video! That Flounder was perfect stuffing size. My Dad always loved a stuffed flounder with crabmeat dressing....

[@southernsalt]

No doubt! I need to stuff some on the channel soon!!

[@leehowell4258]

Congrats brother! That hoodwink is deadly in fresh or saltwater! Love how excited you get with big hookups! Keep up the great content and tight lines!

[@southernsalt]

Thank you brother, I need to go get on some bass soon!!

[@FishingtheThinBlueLine]

Great video, Nate! Got my Menace Shad lures in the mail, can’t wait to try them out! They look so good! Stay Safe with the storm!

great video as always, lots of good info, and once again its that time of year where they are starting to head out, i get 1 more weekend and then the season closes :(

[@southernsalt]

Yeah it’s a pretty sad time of year for inshore fishing lol. Oh well sheepshead are about to be stacked!!

[@doctordifferentialspeedsho9506]

Picked up some smooth criminal and hay maker menace shad today. Can’t wait to try them. Keep up the good work Nate.

[@southernsalt]

🙌 awesome brother hope you whack em!!

[@EmeraldCoastChefs]

Nice!! I saw in Jack’s video yesterday he landed his PB flounder on that dark knight hoodwink!!

[@southernsalt]

Yessir! That was the same trip! Awesome day of fishing!

[@TheKayakWarrior]

Man I wish we had flounder like that down here! Another great video brother! Which soft fish bag do you use?

[@southernsalt]

Thank you brother! Hope you and your family fared well through the hurricane 🙏 the bag is an igloo soft sided cooler

[@TheKayakWarrior]

@@southernsalt we’re good to go, never lost power! I’ve been in this house for 20 years and that was the loudest hurricane we’ve been through, but I slept like a baby. Thank you Nate and blessings to you my friend!

[@kenhuynh275]

Gratz on winning.

[@southernsalt]

Thank you!!

[@urbanbackyardcontainergardenin]

Love your tournament videos. Change your hooks and you might not loose as many flounders. Stay blessed my brother. 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@southernsalt]

Thank you brother!!

[@thedoublejs4957]

Southern flounder have smaller scattered spots. Gulf flounder have bigger spots that almost look like "O" shape.

[@southernsalt]

That’s what I was thinking, appreciate it!!

[@francismartin67]

3 spot is the Gulf Flounder.

[@mailmusic]

I am liking my Spartacus 2 reel as well. I was surprised as how good it is for the price.

[@southernsalt]

Same here!!

[@shawnholton8996]

Those were Southern Flounder, Gulf flounder have a lot of spots too, but have 3 very distinct spots in a triangle pattern, one spot centered down by the tail and two off each side of the lateral line near the girls. Tight lines and screaming drags!

[@southernsalt]

Thank you brother!!

[@wcorb7030]

Caught 3 17 inch ones and 1 18 inch today thanks for the vids man

[@southernsalt]

Very nice man, that’s a good day!!

[@garygould2194]

Awsome flounder, love the videos and hope to get to meet you in june

The HOODWINK works GR8 on Lake Texoma for big stripper bass as well. Wood like to show you a pic.

[@southernsalt]

Dude that is AWESOME!! Send them to me on Facebook!

[@TheodoreBrown-jd6yc]

My partner and I got our two man Mississippi limit (20) last Wednesday fishing from daylight until 11:00am … Most caught on a Berkley Gulp but my biggest were caught on the Southern Salt “Haymaker”!!! I had five fish 18” to 23”!!!… They really seem to like the pearl white/chartreuse curly tail gulp and the same color for the Hoodwink Haymaker!!!… 🕷️

[@southernsalt]

That is AWESOME! Thank you for sharing brother!!

[@CozyCamping911]

I thought you got rid of your Hobie 360. Did you change your mind or get a new one. I love mine!

[@southernsalt]

I sold it to my buddy Rusty so I still use it from time to time but that clip was from when I still owned it.

[@CozyCamping911]

@@southernsalt I was hoping you changed your mind, they are a great fishing vessel. Good video too! 👏🏻

[@EddieTyre1]

man, i can't wait to hook up on a doormat flounder.. that weather is about right!

[@southernsalt]

They’re definitely moving right now! Come on over to Mobile and let’s go!

[@EddieTyre1]

@@southernsalt heck yeah man, might try to make my way over there in the next week or two!

[@Crockersjournal]

My PB trout is 31.25" caught Stuart, Fl. Didn’t realize they get that big. Caught on a 9" live mullet.

[@southernsalt]

That’s a giant!!

[@tomnorman2668]

You let my flounder go😳!!!!

[@southernsalt]

🤣 I got to do I can come back and get them later lol

[@danaparks8812]

I know for a fact that Matthew Isabel aka Bama Beach Bum may not be a flounder guru like you say, but he definitely knows his flounder. I'd ask him if you want to know how to identify them completely.

[@JamesCrainer]

What state ane area are you located.... great video by the way :-)

[@southernsalt]

Alabama

[@southernsalt]

Thank you!!

[@Kettakelly]

I'm guessing this is the same for California halibut ?

[@southernsalt]

Not really sure about that, I’ve never fished for halibut

[@Kettakelly]

@@southernsalt yea I use the same methods ! Ball head jig and swimbait it drop shot rig. Works like a charm

[@willmallory9085]

Another great video.

[@southernsalt]

🙌 thank you brother!!

[@willgriffin3585]

What model Old Town is that?

[@southernsalt]

It’s the Autopilot 120

[@raybrdjr]

YOU WILL MISS A FEW FLOUNDER TILL YOU START USING A LONG SHANK HOOK.

[@southernsalt]

I use the appropriate size hook for the size bait and action I’m trying to retrieve.

Well done Nate 🥇🏆winner winner chicken dinner Perth Australia 🇦🇺 watching

[@southernsalt]

Thank you brother!!

[@jodyfoster9278]

It's almost demoralizing watching these videos. I could go to all the locations you fish and if I caught anything it would be a half inch under sized.

[@southernsalt]

There definitely have been a huge influx in small flounder this year lol.

[@chrismiller127]

What’s the average ‘go to’ jig head size for the hoodwink weedless and regular jig head?

[@southernsalt]

I prefer 3/0 1/4 oz
