Flounder Fishing - SLAYING WITH BACON!!!

We were Kayak Fishing for Flounder (fluke) in New Jersey Waters picking through some short fish and the occasional borderline keeper when I decided to whip out the magic bait.. I missed a few bites at first as it was a little different timing the hookset with the bacon but once I got that first fish it turned into a fast action bite and I got my limit of fluke in an hour! This was after fishing since the crack of dawn with no keepers to show... and only catching the occasional sub legal size fluke every so often. I am almost reluctant to post this video as I fear the Fluke population will take a hit but regardless, keep this in mind the next time you are going Fluke fishing. I was pretty sure this would work but I didn't know it would work that well... the only fish the 3 of us caught this day over 20" were on the bacon..
I was using a 3/4oz Pink/white Magictail Bucktail which you can only find at your local shops here in NJ and the northeast.. Custom handmade finest quality / magictail-bucktails-36...
I bought the bacon at Wawa on Ridge Ave in Philadelphia.

Don’t let it go to your head. You decided to flea the cooler, he didn’t throw you back, just the small ones

[@tumbodadon9105]

Most of them weren't legal to keep..

[@FatWallet_Ju]

tumBo DaDon That’s the joke

[@n0f1lt3r2]

the way he said OMG, I was memorized LOL. I had to rewind it like 5 times. This was an awesome video. I enjoyed watching it.

[@curtisg.8671]

I like the part "dude it jump out my cooler" had me laughing man. amazing trio there with that bacon. great experimentation and something I thought should work knowing how well the pork rinds work. Awesome videos and always entertaining.

[@rommith]

this video had me so hype. "ohhhhh sonnnn, that bacon!" nice doormat!

[@cuhoang7178]

That was freakin amazing!! I will definitely try that down here in Texas.

[@danfishing7223]

Love your fluke fishing videos!

[@screebo21]

Great testimony to the wonder of Bacon! I love it more after seeing your video

[@nolanminor6761]

You have no idea how happy it makes me that you call them flounder not fluke

[@joosonkim538]

Well there are many types of flounder so it's actually nice when people are specific to species. Our winter flounder "sole" up here don't hit jigs. So, if people are looking for information to target specific fish it's good to know.

[@johnr2292]

Nolan Minor I

[@glennkrzeminski7539]

Then what do you call flounder? Fluke?

[@joosonkim538]

Glenn Krzeminski.... you can call them flounder. I like how he says summer flounder later in the video, but specific flounder usually have specific names. summer flounder are called "fluke". they have teeth and are very aggressive eaters. winter flounder are called "sole", they have no teeth and have small mouth and eat scuds and worms. But overall there are so many types of flounder and there are not common names for all so call them flounder but use the first part of it as well, whether it be winter, summer, yellow tail, windowpane, etc.....

[@richardhuff9313]

Glenn Krzeminski SPOTTED FLATFISH BEHBEH!

[@woahmama4814]

2:08 "That's a bacon flounder right there" God I love this channel.

[@alanwareham7391]

We've been using bacon rind in the uk for many years, try using just the white fat in long strips just hooked in the end so that it moves in the tide giving it some lifelike movement.And used this way it can gently be used from the shore in cast and retrieve , a bait that is now seldom use but used properly can be deadly

[@jimdean9265]

I love fishing with you on these videos cause of the enthusiasm --- thanks- everybody loves bacon or pork roll but Romo is reluctant- reluctant Romo

[@IIIJoNIII]

Makes total sense with the great action, scent trail it leaves and i'm sure the salty flavor helps them commit to the bite. Awesome out of the box approach!

[@edean_238]

This is my favorite fishing channel now.

[@pablomariano3707]

[@michaelbuglione5488]

Bro, your reaction to the flounder escape was hilarious! Lol. "Oh my god".

[@CapeCodCanalFishing]

Great video, great escape! Like you said, that fluke totally deserved to live after that skilled stunt! I'm gonna have to try bacon my next outing!

[@eddieambrose520]

Sea money fishing thanks sooooooo much I'm going to New Jersey shore this week for vacation thanks for great fishing tips

[@sk88rat]

I hope you enjoy our state/shore and have good luck fishing! The local fishermen are usually more than happy to share info, especially with people not from the area. But, apparently all you need now is a buck-tail jig and some bacon. lol

[@blacksheep9505]

I guess you could say he was going ham on those fish. :0

Bacon, I use to catch winter flounder on bacon. The NY daily news did a blurb about it 55 years ago, when I was a teenager, never tried it for summer flounder. Watching this video brought back the memories. Thanks

[@ChrisMcIntee]

thats cool to hear! thanks!

[@MrRoyHutchins]

Surf fishing. Whiting are killing it! Thanks for the tip.

[@debraj.thomas661]

I use to fish with bacon, hot dogs or bologna. my dad would buy expensive sea worms. I would out catch him every time!!

[@Random832x]

16:36 You will always remember this as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Flounder

[@letsgomets002]

This guy is annoying

[@mosesfahmy7021]

[@corkytheporker3325]

Iam so happy for you guys. YOU and seamoney and lunkers etc, theres no compitition, there's no dick size comp, its just "lets fish, lets film it, lets show the world" you guys absolutely rule and im so happy to be an angler from south jersey. 28 years now!

[@Wissahickonwild]

Yeah fluky was like " P Sherman 42 wallaby way?"

[@Nf_904]

WissahickonWild Finding nemo?

[@VIRAL_DNA]

I've been using bacon for the last 10 years to catch fish. It was bacon that caught the first fish among our group in a local mountain lake when everyone thought there was nothing to catch and failed with everything else. I think it's the oils, they can really travel in the water. It's my secret bait and it brings me joy to know others are finding success with it as well.

[@bertlambert3817]

gonna use it down here in Fla....gr8 video man. enjoyed fishing with ya!!

[@mattwiederholt7258]

Yo, a flounder just jumped out of my cooler... that's fucked up.😂😂😂 I'm dead

[@mueshow]

I heard hotdog poppers really slay the stripers!

[@belgiboy1]

You were freakin' hilarious: "the bite is sizzling" and the whole cold cuts bit... I hope Romo is doing a video about this too

[@Jeff_Firman_Golf]

Wow! My mind is blown. Awesome stuff! Guess I know what to replace my gulp with lol.

[@matth284]

TIP: Increase the strip length and let them triple tap it. Always try for a vertical hook set. The ones you catch, you won't need to measure. Tight lines.

[@markuslebt]

16:36 yo, a flounder just jumped out of my cooler.. that's fucked up...

[@vogle11]

See Money damn dude this had to be your best video yet I was laughing my as$$ off keep up the good work tight lines

[@josephsral5121]

"Right now, you're both getting outfished by bacon!" - Awesome!

[@kizk2020]

The fact you didnt put a bacon link in the profile, with the rest of the gear, upset me.

[@RogueFullmetal]

John F. Martin hickory smoked... best bacon around...

[@joeydulin8857]

16:36 Absolutely legendary😂😂😂

[@ChrisMcIntee]

Joey D o yea that cooler lid is hard to open too, that was ridiculous haha I was laughing when I edited that part

[@joeydulin8857]

Sea-Money Fishing yea i was cracking up lol, do you think bacon might be better than gulp baits?

[@mikemerc74]

Sea-Money Fishing could you imagine the stories that fish is going to tell the flounders "yo man I was in the cooler man" lol 😂

[@ChrisMcIntee]

lol

[@christaylor4161]

I just want you to know. I saw this video and a couple days later was surf fishing a tournament on assateague island. Well I told my dad about this. Bacon for flounder. So the second day he brought some bacon well we used it and my uncle caught a little Bluefish on it. Then my girlfriend who wasn't fishing the tournament got bored so I decided to rig something up for her. She put on a double bottom right made for flounder and on the bottom hook I out a piece of bacon. And first cast right in the wash she cause the biggest flounder of her life. 19 1/4 inches LMAO. So thank you for this little. Bit of knowledge it did come in handy. FYI she would have had the largest fish.

[@benh5774]

Fun video, hilarious commentary

[@icarus8471]

That flounder went Nemo on you.

[@dits791]

It's illegal here in South Australia to use any animal products or offal for fishing, it attracts sharks and not the little ones either... but goes to show what bacon can catch. Nice video.

[@dits791]

Anything other than land based animal parts.

[@Daniel-jo2mc]

Well using fish attracts sharks as well . So I would break the rules

[@dennypinkham5597]

Outstanding My Man!

[@dennypescador]

I'm sold on the bacon. Nicely done.

[@outdoorsmd4084]

this makes sense. weren't "soft plastics" made of pork rind or fat until the 70s?

[@newsome30677]

Outdoors MD No. Soft plastics were soft plastics, however pork rinds were also popular baits, especially on jigs for bass fishing.

[@cccmmm1234]

The old Field and Stream magazines I had from the 1950s and 60s had port rind "soft plastics" in them. Uncle Josh made them up to 2015.

[@PrestonBozeman]

Well maybe it was just the gelatin in pork fat

[@MiloBloom83]

is that maple bacon or hickory smoked? Do you think pepper bacon might create even hotter action?

[@ChrisMcIntee]

hot pepper bacon action o yea

[@adambialzak2966]

Flounders love pepper, they hate cinnamon

[@georgefritze7795]

really loved this video

[@outlawofga]

A great video my friend!

[@SouthFloridaFishingChannel]

I've never thought about using bacon haha. I wonder if trolling bacon offshore would catch me something

[@ArbitraryLifestyle]

I'd bite it.

[@pissupmyasshole]

South Florida Fishing Channel ud catch me

@Tyrone Catkiller Kang...Guess you know nothing about fishing...been using bacon for years!! Caught all kinds of fish on BACONNN!! you ought to research how to fish on here nigga! xD

[@emoe40]

Tyrone Catkiller Kang da fuk wrong wit you wit that bull shit!

[@cooperroberts8334]

This video was so funny to watch😂

[@manuelmelchizedek4309]

That's one crazy wave you took before. Found your tackle box .you could've just walked it .lol .great video.

[@word1437]

That shit made me hungry

[@davidwing4150]

So the bacon saved your bacon! I would contact Wendy's and see if they will sponsor you. All the baconaters you need! Get a custom kayak and stencil bacon boat on the side. Get a sister boat called where's the beef!

[@ChrisMcIntee]

lol!

[@knightshift8714]

LMFAO that some out of the box thinking right there 🤙

[@TheAutisticAngler]

That was brilliant

[@rogersimpson8871]

I know the bacon works for you but your narration of the event is even better, I have not laughed so hard in a long time

[@jakobbladh5579]

What bait were you using? Didn't quite hear it

[@ChrisMcIntee]

BACON

[@Beefeater911]

I think he is using shrimp. I might be blood worms.

[@onedeep160]

@Glenn Wilkins no you don't

[@anthonybomberry9935]

bacon sure aint cheap

[@Daniel-jo2mc]

Anthony Bomberry £1.30 a pack here cheaper than bait

[@Tracks777]

Great stuff :)

[@ShadowsPhotography1]

So you have rediscovered what the old timers knew from years back. It used to be that you could get the bucktails already pre rigged with pig skin for fishing flounder. But I think that the fresh bacon must work better than dried up pig skin. Keep making awesome videos! Tight lines!

[@doctoredable]

And it is biodegradable!!

[@TheDreamCatchers]

that was a 17.9 inch flounder im gonna have to call the fish and wildlife commission and report you because this is just simply unacceptable

[@ChrisMcIntee]

not sure if youre serious but it was legal and if you have to call DNR then so be it

[@RustyShakleford1]

Sea-Money Fishing he dropped a well placed troll- communist wildlife commission

[@TheDreamCatchers]

its a joke hahahahahaha

[@ChrisMcIntee]

ok I was scratching my head there I thought maybe you were really offended haha

[@isaiaduga2588]

well done best ever fishing thanks for new magic bait(bacon)

[@TheJJohnsonExperience]

Lol crazy, watching you catch them did quickly. Haven't had any luck at the shore with them so far.

[@jdeleoo4100]

u need to close the mouth when measuring.

[@ChrisMcIntee]

JDeleoo i did

[@deathlessgamingtv9234]

DAMNNNNNNNN

[@outdoorman6018]

bleed them out in the cooler they will taste better and they will not get out like they did in the video you already have the knife around you I always bleed them out

[@kix-mi9it]

flounder is one of the less fishy tasting fish out there. no need to bleed them out.

[@outdoorman6018]

kix 1981 it's not to make them taste better it's to kill the fish so it doesn't get out of the box like that

[@c.j.rogers2422]

Ya but, the longer it stays alive, the fresher the fish. Just needs a tie-down on cooler from now on!

[@billcocozza]

I love your videos man

[@cuttingedj2011]

Great video!

[@jamesarnold5554]

I always wondered about using bacon.........GREAT STUFF MAN!!!!!

Dude, you sound like one of the boys! haha just awesome.

[@Docsjeff]

Simply the Baconater!!! The Bacon saved your Bacon-Lol Thx for sharing!

[@donmace4501]

Just because they bit on bacon today doesn't mean they will every time. It's another arrow in the quiver, so to speak. Three weeks ago I was killing them on Gulp, for two weeks now all they have want is minnows. Go out to wrecks every time and they will bite mackeral and Gulp combo, or fresh strip baits. In the back it's different every day. Last year I had live mullet, minnows, peanut bunker and spot that I cast netted the day before. Three guys on the boat and we all tried something different throughout the day. All 18 flounder we caught were on minnows, they would not touch the other three live baits. Best vid yet Sea Money, thumbs up!

[@ChrisMcIntee]

thanks and yea you are right, every day is different out there, I will be buying another pack of bacon next time I go to see how it performs against the gulp

[@CaptDavesSportfishing]

YOU have now inspired me...I'm gonna try Bacon on Redfish in Jacksonville FL. (after watching this, I went into the bait shop, walked over to the bait freezer, and yelled at the owner, "where's the bacon??") Oh we had a laugh....then I told him I'm trying it on bull Redfish. We'll see, if so. add bacon video's all around. I'm letting everyone know, so you ought to get more views!

[@thomashughes9361]

That's fuggin crazy!! Guessing you'll be sponsored by Jimmy Dean here soon!? Im stealing this for sure!

[@JerseyJimFish]

Still don't want to believe it! Great video!
