Fluke Fishing From Shore (Summer Flounder)

Jigging Fluke (Summer Flounder) in NYC. It was a fun day hitting up the bay and spot hopping. Seems like everything is fully awake and its fish on.

[@yeezlife]

Nice to see someone appreciating the robins every once in a while!

[@BobAquatic]

Robbins play a big role in the circle, they’re awesome and taste great too

[@AZ-NY]

[@fishwiththesmile6216]

He is fishing my favorite spots!:) I miss those spots….

[@BobAquatic]

Hope you’re having a fun season!

[@IsaOutdoors]

Wow amazing to see you hook up with some fish there and I didn’t go today because I was hesitant if they were gonna have anything lol 😂, btw what time range were you out there at?

[@gopi1_0]

What is the rod setup you are using?

[@blizzington4528]

What size jig head are you using. I’ve been trying out the single jig technique and haven’t had much success with it yet

[@BobAquatic]

That is a 1/4 ounce jig head. Thanks for watching!

[@rdh9155]

Bob love your Fishing Videos Bro what size Penn Clash II is it cus i want to buy one ?

[@BobAquatic]

What’s up bud! That one is a 2000 size. It’s really fun setup for moving around spot bouncing

[@bersa5b366]

Nice content!

[@BobAquatic]

Thank you bud!

[@Tog_Tastic]

Nice inshore slam!

[@BobAquatic]

Thank you bud! Fish on

[@frankgiraldi6119]

What is your retrieve method with the bucktail and gulp?

[@BobAquatic]

Bounce bottom

[@jamessong5838]

Hello~ What fishing pole size? 7ft or 8ft? medium speed? fast speed? Thank you

[@BobAquatic]

I think that one is 9ft, it’s a 50/50 steelhead rod I’ve been messing around with for flats fishing

[@6atlantis]

What size and power rod did you use here? Thanks

[@BobAquatic]

9ft Medium fast

[@livenhfree]

Nice! Newbie here. Why do you pull line out of the reel after you hook the fish?

[@BobAquatic]

The drag was not set correctly and sometimes I will do that to get a feel of how I need to adjust it without turning the dial. Turning the drag dial while fighting a fish can be a no no because drags can slip and you can lose the fish from lack of tension

[@livenhfree]

@@BobAquatic Great feedback. Thank you!

[@MrJOHNY347]

I wonder if that jig would work well at a pier ?nice vid btw!

[@BobAquatic]

Oh yeah totally, all the lures in this video would work on a pier. Have fun out there!

[@frrok1]

Try the gulp jerk shad. Pink and pepper chartreuse has been working.

[@BobAquatic]

Heck ya, they work well. I’ll have to try that pepper chartreuse. Thanks bud fish on

[@livenhfree]

"The smell is sooo baaad." NYC, I guess. ;-)

[@TomGeis1]

what’s the best time to go fishing?

[@BobAquatic]

Whenever you have free time honestly, I plan trips and also spontaneously walk out the door. Both work, have fun out there

[@MheiTheFishBeWithYou]

What bridge is that

[@BobAquatic]

Hey bud, I can't mention exact spots on here but it should be pretty easy to figure out with google maps

[@MheiTheFishBeWithYou]

@@BobAquaticI understand but I’m not from NY and I do t recognize the bridge that’s why I can’t google it

[@fredrickthebird1756]

you feel like the tides influence when you go or it doesnt really matter

[@BobAquatic]

Weather and tides, moon phase. I spend a ton of time prepping fishing trips dialing it all in beforehand. It doesn’t always work out, but pattern fishing is how my brain breaks it down and is very productive

[@ouissandy2806]

I caught so many gator blues there last week no fluke :( But porgies in mid-July and a quiet beach

[@BobAquatic]

Congrats on the blues! Yeah that areas sorta like a highway, catch fish as they pass through. Fluke fishing from shore has been tough but it'll pickup

[@ouissandy2806]

@BobAquatic went to the windmill and caught monster stripers two days back at around 11 Am i was trying to catch fluke thats I love my bucktails

[@BobAquatic]

Ah yea, you were on em! Sounds like a lot of fun

[@ATREZ0123]

Now that's a nice day had! Catching at a few diff spots. A few diff species! Thanks for taking us along with ya! I frequently use that rig also. The bucktail tipped w sand eel. What size bucktail was that Bob? 1oz or less?

[@BobAquatic]

Hey! Yeah I love spot hopping with the waders. Thank you for watching bud, this was a 1/2oz bucktail im pretty sure. Probably could’ve gotten away with 1/4

[@CarlosCalderon-tp7cw]

Man I been trynna get into fishing but i don’t know any good surf spot on Long Island and neither do I even know what I’m doing

[@BobAquatic]

We all gotta start somewhere. The best spot is always closest to home, its fun to learn your area first or wherever is the closest water.

[@MasterInvesting]

Try Coney Island Creek

[@BobAquatic]

For sure, it’s fun back there. I’ll make a trip next week, thank you for watching

[@lihuapiao9418]

Went there on past monday and too much seaweed hard to fish only hand one fluke

[@BobAquatic]

That happens, especially as the waters warming on the new and full moon. Current moves the seaweed around. Try the ocean side if its bad like that or the river

[@stevetautog880]

Is that Jamaica Bay

[@BobAquatic]

Hey Steve hope you are doing well. Some anglers in NYC get mad at me when I mention spots so it’s just easier to avoid it. I’ve been confronted in person about it and don’t want to get bullied anymore. Hope you understand

[@ATREZ0123]

@@BobAquatic i cant believe someone confronted you in person about that. As far as I know you do a good job of not mentioning spots. I dont quite get these dudes that get so bent about spot burning. Public beaches are out there for everyone to enjoy. Keep doing your thing! I've got your back Bob! Hate F***ing Bullies!

[@alejandro3485]

If you have Google maps you can figure out where that is. It’s definitely not a secret spot. I caught one of my biggest blackfish at that bridge.

[@MheiTheFishBeWithYou]

@@alejandro3485what bridge is that?

[@Ak.Fishing_]

Nice bro If u Down Id Love to meet up and fish toge

[@BobAquatic]

Appreciate you watching! Hope to see you out there sometime

[@ndambrosio1]

I know you don't eat the fish there but does anyone else?

[@BobAquatic]

I like to eat the fish sometimes, especially the blues.
