Love EliasV soft plastics. Waiting for the mullet run to get some big ones and some large Hogies out. Very informative video. Appreciate all the info.

Caught a few reds & a couple of flounder on top water lure today 😎🤙🏾

Thanks for the info. Your channel is one of the most informative ones I’ve seen.

Thanks so much for making time to leave the nice comment!

New Penny gulp def a great bait...and agree, white is my other go to. I do target flounder in the sound (from kayak) but I spend a lot of time chasing them on the beach and for some reason, they just don't get after the 4" variety gulp shrimp. 3" is the only size which has worked for me and I've tried often with the larger bait (even after seeing them spit up 4-5" spot). Really strange. I def prefer big baits and have seen great success in other areas fishing like that. I am going to try some 7" fluke style baits from beach this year. Thx for the info!

Nicely 👍 presented. I just about have my PHD on flounder fishing and I’m about to dive in . My next flounder will be my first..T U

[@James-qt9dj]

Look into John Skinners book fishing for summer flounder and the flounder mastery videos

[@Skurtz007]

Ditto on the Texas Eye with the Diezel minnow. Just nailed a nice one on that yesterday (of course they are out of season till August some time here in NC) but she would have made a nice dinner. Another great, instructional video!

An y’all put a video out on how to catch inshore sharks in the summer in Georgia

[@Saltstrong]

We'll add it to the content ideas!

What size weight do you recommend on your Texas rig for near/inshore fishing?

[@chuckdaymude4690]

Solid video; thank you. Question for you: What's your thought on fishing jetties a high current flow area (Carolinas through N FL) where the current rips through all phases of the tide cycle? Seems like it's tough to get small soft plastics down in those situations (Charleston Jetties for example) as the current blows the bait out of the strike zone but too much weight crushes the natural presentation. Thx

[@Saltstrong]

Thanks for the question. Check out our website and we have a ton of articles on jetty fishing that might be helpful. Just go to www.saltstrong.com/?s=jetty+fishing

[@oliversmith9148]

That’s a nice theory

[@comfortablynumb9342]

I've caught flounder 9 miles out in the Gulf around artificial reefs in the fall/winter. My biggest flounder ate a whole ballyhoo out there in 45 feet of water, around 24". There are more on the closer reefs.

BS!

[@chrisjones720]

Flounder IMO is the most difficult fish to land man, when you have them hooked it feels like your pulling up seaweeds. They float right up to the surface, put up a fight but if you put too much pressure on the line and hook you can pull the hook right out the Flounders mouth. Any tips?

[@specks-n-spoons4048]

Are you using braid or mono?

[@chrisjones720]

@@specks-n-spoons4048 Braid, I fish around a lot of rocks and Jetty fish. But I use Banish Flourocarbon leader 30 Lbs test, my leader is usually around 2-3 ft depending on depth

What was the name of the 7 inch shad bait

[@pbutler847]

Good stuff 👍🏼✌🏽

[@charissabenge3685]

Have you fished Murrells Inlet SC? That’s where we go in a week and it’s our yearly place.

[@paulmoss7940]

Hope you got em. We killed them north of you last week.

[@ReelinTension]

Very informative...

[@johnsamothrakis4621]

Great helpful video , thanks . But am not a speed reader, trying to read graphics while listening to video is tricky, can you leave pop up graphics up a little longer ? minor issue but thanks Love Salt Strong 👍

[@toddgaines9446]

press pause.

[@johnsamothrakis4621]

True & easy why I didn’t think of that 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@A.P.C.GROOVES]

Just seen u guys n the boat👍🏽

Why is it flounder on east coast but halibut on west coast?? who is responsible for this

[@fmart3617]

Technically, there's winter flounder and summer flounder. The summer flounder are called fluke. Got this from the web. THE NORTHERN ATLANTIC FLUKE is more than just an excellent alternative for the more expensive flatfish species like sole, turbot and halibut - it is a fine species that is worthy of being served raw. Fluke is also known as “Summer Flounder” for their tendency to stay inshore during the summer months. These fish are also called “Left Eye Flounders”: like all flatfish that become bottom dwellers, one eye migrates to the other side, resulting in “right eye” or “left eye” fish. Fluke can be distinguished from all other soles and flounders in North America as it alone is “left eyed”. Like other flatfish, the fluke has a Jekyll-and-Hyde appearance, with a dark brown, gray or greenish back and a white blind-side or belly. Fluke are deft hunters, using quick movements and a mouth full of teeth to snare unsuspecting prey like minnows, squid and various crustaceans. Able to change colors to blend in with the sea bottom, they are truly the chameleons of the sea.

Completely different species of fish. Related, but distinctly different species.

If you keep shaken' the bag I can't read the package said the cranky old fisherman!

"... once you figure out where you want to be, and once you figure out what they want to eat." That's the same thing as the joke "How do you get a million dollars? First, start with a million dollars."

[@marketopen3577]

Seigler reels suck by the way. They are made here in Virginia Beach. I've been to every tackle shop in the area and none of them recommend them because they always come back to the shop with problems. Do yourself a favor and buy something else.

Wish you’d speak up and slow your speech! Couldn’t understand half of what you said!
