Flounder Fishing NJ Sod Bank 2nd Attempt June 2016

[@EliasVFishing]

Nice work dude, certainly working that bank hard!

[@manfrazdude]

Stoked you have found your channel. You definitely are an excellent fisherman. My 11 year old son told me about your fishing when he was looking up flounder techniques. I love all the explanation and how hard you get after it. Probably watched about 20 so far. Heads up, kids are watching.. rarely have I heard any foul language, but the couple times my son kind of looked at me sideways. Anyway glad I found you, never have seen anyone slay the flounder like you do, and glad you go after so many other species. Only have subscribed to 6 other KZbin channels, so I definitely like what you do.

[@tazdaddy4]

First off let me start by saying I love the videos you do, you are a true inspiration to real fishermen every where and second I see you know where the good spots are in cape may cause I used to fish those same waters just outside of angelsea north wildwood makes me home sick that's also a good spot for blues and King fish when they're around. Keep the vids coming bro and tight lines always

[@FishAholicTV]

Good Fishing SM always. Caught myself some good flounder and dinner the day before the 24hkfc. and the worst part was fishing for 19 hours straight thinking about eating my flounder in the fridge haha.

[@LandsharkOutdoors]

You really can't beat the taste of these fish.

[@aidanguida494]

I live about 5 minutes from there and on that sod bank i caught a 8lb sea bass off of my dads boat. The fluke there is great because if you go to the sod bank on the right of the avalon bridge you will catch. Btw i am getting a fishing kayak for my b day b cause of you. Love the videos man

[@davemojarra4734]

LsGx Gaming Make a video!

[@jsmug]

I don't know if you are parking on the bridge in that first spot, but you can park on the street next to the bridge and walk under it instead of wading through both creeks. Sometimes the people there may say something, but they don't own the sod bank, even if they used to put a dock up out there.

[@roymooner1]

dude you are my new favorite channel to watch!

[@js-io3tw]

Hey, you should do a cooking video of this. That'd be really cool.

[@coolvid]

Nice Chris, I was in fishing from shore in Long Island this weekend, I gotta tell you it was tough fishing, toughest so far this year, managed 1 keeper. That water is beautiful thou. 👍

[@ChrisMcIntee]

the water in south jersey is very clear right now, cleaner than its been a lot of years past. I saw you've been getting the fluke for awhile now, I think the full moon wasn't helping anything this past weekend. thanks man!

[@coolvid]

+Sea-Money Fishing ...yeah agreed, that moon didn't help any. I was in a local tourney from shore in LI this weekend and there were no 3rd place fluke weigh-ins until I got my keeper. That's how bad it was. I'm gonna get out this week and do something a bit different and hopefully get some good footage of fluking ...at night. 😅 we'll see how it goes. ✌️

[@TheCoastalGunner]

even the boat fishing has been tough this weekend on long island with the moon...it will get better this weekend...

[@slideposed18]

Another great sea-money video, loved it.

[@Saltydoginthedesert]

Haha! I thought I was the only one who did the "Just three more casts" at the end of the day or before changing spots, which usually turns into another "Well, maybe three more casts" before dipping out. That's how you know you're a fishing addict.

[@Delmarvafishing]

Hey man cool video, what is the purposes of bleeding the fish though?

[@jacksonkearney9210]

Nice video man! About bleeding the fish; wouldn't it be easier to take a knife and stick it in the gills and cut through them?

[@xxbeastboiizxx1006]

Another nice video.keep up the great work man!👍🏻

[@neildrummond5711]

Nice video I just caught my first flounder since moving to SC the size to keep down here is 14 inches though but mine was still short at 13

[@waltbuzby8644]

U need a kayak to access the sod banks or can u walk all the way ? Really like to get into this ! Thanks.

[@ShaggyDogg0128]

They need to be 12" here in Florida. I'm going up to Philly in 2 weeks. Any fishing charters or spots to fish in New Jersey?

[@bambamson238]

I love your videos sooo much

[@Fishingguy00]

Those gulp swimming mullets are money!

[@HunterM430]

why dont you use a high low rig for fluke? gives you a better chance to catch them :)

[@converyvids4142]

do u live in new jersey? if so, do you know any good spots in south jersey cause I'm really into fishing, I don't really go down shore just locally but if theres a good spot in ocean city or atlantic city I'm down to go, if u could respond itd be cool

[@rymon628]

when do you think is the best time for flounder fishing? other than June being the prime time

[@hectorcoria3650]

Nice day overall regardless! I plan on doing my share of flounder fishing next weekend at Galveston Island and Crystal Beach Texas. Big momma specs should be hitting prettying good as well. Will do some wading along with some surf action. Though, I am a little leary of hitting the surf from seeing a good size alligator wading along the shores of Crystal Beach to make me think twice. Extra caution of course will be taken! Great video overall sir!!!

[@ChrisMcIntee]

thanks man, hope you are alright fishing around the gators haha! thats crazy....

[@alexgervasi4823]

hey, onthe video where you caught the dead bass on the uninhabited island could you explain what happened? I was kind of confused did your hookcatch the leader?

[@halibutnutz]

Should I use bait or something like a gulp for flounder I'm fishing for Flounder in California

[@MegaTimothy29]

Not very familiar with flounder or saltwater fishing at all but what if you hook one deep in the gills or gullet and its gonna die anyway but its under 18" can you keep it.

[@jamesgibson249]

Man I do enjoy these videos! I am in a out of New Jersey I might have to try my luck!

[@dcastrofishing9865]

I live on the south shore of Long Island and love flounder fishing, is incoming or outgoing tide the best for fishing? And will sod bank flounder fishing also work out here?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

yep it will work out there, flounder like the back bays and inlets and stuff and as long as the depth of the water is right (say 8'-30'+) they will be there. finding deeper water will often up your chances at catching, but 10'-20' is great depth. as for tides thats a tricky one, they might prefer the outgoing at one spot and incoming at another, generally though I tend to do best on the last of the incoming and the start of the outgoing. You can catch them any tide though.

[@joshuakabanuk6187]

so do fish bite better when the tide is coming in or do they bite better when the tides leaving

[@ChrisMcIntee]

Really depends, any tide can be good, different spots are good on different tides and it changes day to day or throughout the season depending on water temp

[@jacobjones574]

what do you use for fresh water bass me and friend haven't been able to catch any wondering what you're using.

[@ecksdog]

Another enjoyable video. Good job.

[@easternanglers2990]

Do you ever fish Avalon? I'm in the process of making a fluke fishing video right now

[@randymarsh6527]

I'm surprised you aren't roasting in those waders. it's steaming in md today.. another great video man.When are you going to hit the blues again?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

thanks man, it wasnt too hot the day I made this, down at the shore its often 10-20 degrees colder, Ill be back after the blues in the fall, for now they have all migrated north. Caught some small blues recently though, like 1-2lbers, that size is pretty common right now

[@Mike-dk1wf]

Question..I live in Philly but have a place in West Wildwood. What things do you loom for when you try to locate a sod bank spot to fish. When you are driving around looking is there anything that you look for specifically to find a good spot?

[@FishinPA]

any spot with deep water and a nice drop off along the bank... I usually get good results casting parallel to the bank using 3/4 - 1 1/4 oz bucktails with the swimming mullet as a trailer and make sure to have different colors...also if you find a spot that looks good, try it at different tides because the fish can be hot at one and turn off during the other

[@ChrisMcIntee]

Fishin PA has good tips, yes look for deepish water that you can cast into. Inlets are also good, like hereford corsons townsends absecon and Cape May, there are a lot of different spots you can catch fluke in right now, from the backbays sods like this to the beaches out front. some of the smaller bridges around these towns can also be good. Its sorta tricky between boat traffic, bugs, tide, wind etc but if you can get it all lined up you can catch some tasty fish from the backbays down there.

[@Mike-dk1wf]

+Sea-Money Fishing Thanks much appreciated. I'll be in Wildwood this week so I'm going to give it a shot. I fish the beach in North Wildwood a lot from Hereford Inlet to 7th street. Good times. Only thing that sucks about the sod banks for me is that I don't have waders at the moment and it isn't in the budget at the moment : (

[@tylerhumphries2002]

Love the Channel. What size rod do you use in this video? And what size rod do you use for surf? Thanks.

[@ChrisMcIntee]

thanks the rod in this vid was 7'2" but for the surf I have been using a 12' rod.

[@drewward5309]

Awesome videos! Headed out to the NJ coast soon, might have to go for some fluke

[@bcask61]

I know the area but I can’t quite make out exactly where your spot is. I’ll keep watching.......

[@holbro1]

Hello I Truly Enjoy your Videos , But Can I make a suggestion? - i would have made your first location MY 2nd - Those ( creeks ) are full of killies and grass shrimp - and when the drops they become a natural chum slick, so Fluke, Bass and Weaks all hang around the mouth of the Creeks waiting for them to get washed out.

[@wyattbrown7132]

you should do a cooking video

[@js-io3tw]

Agreed.

[@stanlee1857]

Ya that'd be nice cook somthing up for us!!

[@erwinjr1262]

Wyatt

[@wish2fish37]

Amazing how limits have changed since this video..

[@daveyking7250]

I agree it's just a fish people make a huge deal about small stuff like that

[@jerzeybwoy]

Thanks for showing how to bleed the fish Chris!

[@crisydxd8187]

Do you ever fish in the manasquan inlet?

[@landolfr]

You must have some good bug spray! Nice vid

[@longislandfishing6150]

Question for you, why did you tie direct with braid, instead of a shock leader in this set up?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

that is a good question, I dont use leader only because I believe it doesn't make a difference to fluke, that is they wont be line shy. I might be wrong, but I have transitioned over the years from using fluoro 100% of the time to only times when im fishing rocky or snaggy areas where the line might graze and cut off, in which case Ill use fluoro or mono. For this though, muddy bank and soft bottom, no fluoro just straight braid. Maybe I need fluoro though and thats why im not catching more haha

[@longislandfishing6150]

Makes sense, thanks for the explanation, loving the videos!

[@Johnny-rk9tz]

How do you retrieve the jig, do you let it hit the bottom the whole time or just reel it in?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

gotta keep it close to the bottom, I usually let it hit bottom and then give it a few cranks/jigs and then let it hit bottom again before jigging/reeling more, you want to keep it in the strike zone tho, which is within a couple feet of the bottom.

[@Johnny-rk9tz]

+Sea-Money Fishing thanks buddy, I'm going to try that I will keep you posted if any luck comes my way, you should stuff those flounder with crab meat and bake them!!

[@Johnny-rk9tz]

The fillets I mean not the whole fish lol

[@711jonn]

When I search it up its only the body that shows up what do I have to search to get the face and body

[@iMrCoolGuy629]

How do I get bgh to this place if you dont mind sharing? I live close to cape may and would love to try this

[@paddlefisher]

a tip for you mate, if you brain spike (iki jime) the fish they are out of their misery straight away but still bleed out just fine. cool videos though mate keep it up.

[@freshANDhesh]

I'm surprised how well you did with a plain jig.

[@ChrisMcIntee]

yea I go back and forth from bucktails to plain jigheads and I generally do about the same with either

[@melvinthefisherman]

you ever fall off the sod bank into the deep water?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

I have not... in fact I havent even seen it happen, ive heard stories online of people drowning from that sort of thing tho..

[@nonameboy8714]

what are the best conditions tide wise for fluke

[@beccawilliams1377]

Chris , what is the whole reasoning on bleeding the flounder?

[@johnmoore9788]

Becca Williams the reason for bleeding any fish is to get the blood out of the meat

[@codycomp8874]

I love your content

[@youngganjafarmer4682]

yes another upload lets gooo

[@FishingwTonyd]

Why do you bleed the fish?

[@danmctigue8959]

Could you do this with almost any sod bank in nj if it's deep enough?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

+danny mc tigue absolutely

[@MrOkShin]

Nice video again Chris! Would you ever do a subscriber fishing event? Would love to participate!

[@ChrisMcIntee]

thanks man yea I think I have gotta do something like that this summer, we'll see! Id like to get somethin going like that Ill keep you posted!

[@Mike-dk1wf]

+Sea-Money Fishing Let me know about that for sure. I live in Philly so I would be down for that for sure

[@alanortiz805]

What does bleeding a fish do?

[@Slyworm613]

pretty much eliminates all the fishy tasting blood lines from the fillets

[@rebeccamicken7963]

what kind of rod ? And did you use leader and what pond

[@ChrisMcIntee]

no leader, the rod is 7'2" shimano crucial that throws 1/4oz-5/8thoz

[@rebeccamicken7963]

ok thanks

[@EsotericDeathLegion]

Can you make a vid on how to cook fluke?

[@randymarsh6527]

Is this on the Delaware Bay side?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

nope it is the intercoastal waterways on the backside of the shore towns like wildwood avalon ocean city etc

[@allspeciesfishing6009]

You should do some blue catfishing in va

[@jaredwright9215]

You just leave the fish out in the sun?

[@tothemoon6133]

Yeah doesn't it spoil quick enough in the heat

[@ChrisMcIntee]

just for an hour yea it wasnt too hot out there, fish were fine.

[@juansjams8788]

That place is pretty interesting...

[@freshANDhesh]

Flounder and fluke are different, right?

[@Easternlongislandcast]

All fluke are flounder, but not all flounder are fluke. There are multiple varieties.

[@TheDreamCatchers]

there are two kinds of flounder. Left eyed floundesr Paralichthyidae includes fluke (summer flounder) and halibut. Right sided flounders include the winter flounder which are found on the east coast with the fluke

[@jerseydevil1066]

In NJ we refer to summer flounder as Fluke. Fluke are usually bigger but skinnier than Flounder.

[@stanlee1857]

Cook it up for us make a video on how you prepare your fish!!

[@jfavata2498]

Do you live near thar

[@tothemoon6133]

I normally club it then bleed it out. I also dip the head in and out of the water as it bleeds to get a lot out

[@edzkos59]

Where you at give me the GPS coordinates, LOL I won't tell anyone

[@nickcopek7804]

I fish freshwater and I am interested in the saltwater. Could anyone give an estimate on how much it would cost to start saltwater fishing? I would probably fish on rocks and cast right into the Atlantic.

[@partypickle2012]

500

[@mcparkaden2216]

You could some extra large catfishing gear with lures like poppers

[@splendidbeastie691]

250without waders

[@Saltlife_-lt7hj]

Gotta make sure the mouth is closed when you check em

[@Jonathan-lf2br]

Good job on the vid

[@88sinz]

On the topic of bleeding, look up tail cutting/slicing

[@Arizonafishing]

Nice!

[@floppycopy1284]

You hook em quick down in the gulf your supposed to count to 5 before setting the hook or even longer

[@splendidbeastie691]

if your not keeping them wont that enable them to be gut hooked easier?

[@jasepitre1334]

thats why its called fishing and not catching lol but still if find your videos intreasting considering im a freash water fisherman. and never fished salt water in my life but i hope to one day

[@efface6264]

it's a lot of fun but very different. You should definitely give it a shot

[@turkishpower6835]

I'm the opposite, I've never fresh water fished in my life😂😂

[@efface6264]

+Fishin Kid19 its fun as well

[@711jonn]

I caught my first flounder today using the same thing then 5 casts later it snapped off

[@swansen7431]

nice vid

[@irlnd32]

Some nice horseflies in them weeds🍻

[@nicholasschulz183]

Don't use gulp alive I found the bucket spilled a lot which made my tackle box dirty I find gulp saltwater in packets are cleaner

[@timothyzackladdermoore621]

👍

[@mikewinne549]

sea money i had a hell of a time at a pond. I got a 9 pound bass on worms XD so lucky

[@ChrisMcIntee]

[@elumayo4090]

Fish don't have the capacity to feel pain, or at least not in the way we do.
