Incredible Underwater Flounder/Fluke Fishing Behavior!

[@Pbairsoftman]

At 5:36 that fluke getting yoinked out of frame made me LOL, great stuff John.

[@rmp608]

THE BEST video on fluke fishing ..This explains more in 12 minutes then any book could.. Thanks John

[@wylieway1]

The Squid at 5:50 is one of the coolest things i've seen.

[@MrDHCrockett]

Unreal! I’ve never targeted flounder before, but I just signed up for a local derby and I’m now cramming in all the knowledge I can before the weekend. Thank you for all the information you share on your channel!

[@socal.fresh_salty9065]

This video is 7 yrs old but it’s the best video I’ve seen yet 🙏🏾💯 very helpful

[@seastar421]

Best video ever! Great to see what is actually going on down there!

[@csralumni]

Absolutely amazing video! So much life and fish behavior that we don't see or understand. Seeing the fluke's reaction to the bucktail/gulp vs the strip was my biggest takeaway. Also fascinating to see how many fish look at the strip and don't eat it. Thanks again John!

[@SamAthanassov]

Thank you! I learned so much by getting the opportunity to watch the fish's behavior! Can't wait to hit the water again!

[@conservative1955]

This is the best video i have seen showing fluke behavior. It answers many questions of what is happening at the other end of my line. thanks.

[@paulfung7738]

Wow John! This was a real treat, I thoroughly enjoyed it!!! Fished for fluke on my kayak the last two days here on Staten Island with nothing but a few cocktail blues hitting my gulp, this video is inspiring to say the least! Keep em coming, thanks!!!

[@armandorjusino]

Awesome footage, seeing those Flounders on the hunt gave me a new perspective of how wild things down there really are, thank you for sharing.

[@stephenklein6855]

Excellent video and you do a great job!

[@KUSHFVCE]

this is great information and science for the community. much love from the south shore

[@carloszarate2293]

John, All your previous videos are great. I've learned so much from them as well as reading all your books. Now with the addition of the wolf cam, your videos are next to none. I look forward to seeing additional footage to enhance what I've learned from your videos and books. I look forward to meeting you one day on the surf.

[@EliasVFishing]

Several fish over ten pounds that I have taken opted for the bucktail and Gulp! over a live bait (bergal) that was sitting in the adjacent rod holder. I really hope you get an opportunity to drop this down over an active bunker school at some point.

[@yomoses1436]

That's the greatest fluke video ever! so much information there! Thanks john.

[@KayakFrank]

Share this man's videos viewers and don't forget to buy the book. My son did and all the info in it, takes a lifetime to compile. Peace Out Mr. Skinner.

[@dancrosby9991]

WOW!!! Confirmation of my imagination of what goes on on the mysterious sea floor! Thanks, John for giving us a window to another world!

[@bruce5168]

AWESOME underwater footage!! I love fluke fishing, and to see this view is just incredible. Great job!!

[@GeorgeScocca]

Simply great stuff John. There is nothing more educational then these videos.

[@oyabun8538]

I just came across this video and man you learn something new everyday i tell you.what an awesome video! Thanks John you are the man! TIGHT LINES!

[@alexboatingfishing9103]

Wow John, this was one of the best fishing videos i have every seen. Keep up the good work. This explains why the big flounder always went for my friends bucktail over my spearing

[@oceannavagator]

Just unbelievable video! This is the best yet! What's funny is what's happening in the mind's eye of the fisherman, has nothing to do with what's actually happening on the bottom. All I can say is " More, More, Please!

[@buddyprice7541]

I am in NE Florida and have been catching flounder from 14" to 26" since August. I have learned how to not lose them more than anything. Recently have been setting the hook in them. This is an amazing video!!!

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Excellent! I'm glad the videos help.

[@Lafayettelyle]

I have learned so much watching this. Thank you! It confirms what I have felt on my line so many times but could not see. And lost of course. I think I can anticipate what is happening so much better now.

[@thereal-moderate5272]

John......I know it's an older video , but pleae , if you get the time.....do some more! Has to be one of , if not the best under water cam video I've ever seen! Thank you!

[@MrCliftonLaird]

John that is too cool for words. Good job and keep up the good work, on a rainy day i'd rather watch your videos than to go after them

[@camerongatlin9370]

This is one of the coolest videos. Thanks.

[@aliasdesignz]

Thank you for all your amazing videos and teaching me a few things I will use next fishing trip!!!

[@GillAgainsIsland12]

Great video. Fished for with my father for fluke for years, starting in the early 70s. Had great success using pork rind and live killie combo bait on a 2 foot leader, one foot above the sinker.

[@W.Holden.6]

That squid was awesome. Really been enjoying your content!

[@hookedup]

Thats was fascinating! Excellent stuff John!

[@abelwaite2016]

This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen

[@thefactualist312]

great video. really lets one understand flounder habits and strikes.

[@michaelhayes6878]

John, I have to give you tons of credit, you certainly know how to find fish. The vids are great. Seeing that many fluke together, makes me think the fishery is on the comeback. Showing the swimming towards you after hooked is classic as I have been surprised more than once with these slick bastards. Thanks for the vid and fish on!

[@jamesryan5868]

Wow great footage!!! I definitely learned something, thanks John, always enjoy your videos! Tight lines buddy !!👊🏻

[@tommyo321]

Incredible footage. Thanks

[@rango_reb]

One of the best videos I have seen..

[@fishingmagazine7935]

Now THAT is cool! I've flounder fished all my life and this is the first time I've ever seen a flounder hit underwater. Their behavior after the strike tells me I need to set the hook as soon as they hit if I'm fishing jigs or lures with multiple hooks. Live bait? Do a live bait video! ;) Awesome stuff. Keep it up!

[@patrickcorley2433]

One of the coolest videos I have ever seen.That is amazing

[@larrygonzalez8770]

unbelievable footage! Nice Job John! Thanks for the video.

[@tomvarley4344]

I have been looking for feeding information on flounder and this is fantastic. This explains a lot, I fish flounder in the UK and the behaviour appears the same, sometimes you just don't know their hookedWould love to see gurnard and dogfish feeding behaviourKeep up the good work

[@thomasleebrown3136]

John; I'm impressed with Your Videos. They are quite educational; Thank You !

[@nyinfamous2k2]

That is freakin incredible. great footage. its amazing to see how these fish eat and take the bait. definitely something to think about

[@djjohnson9389]

the flounder is a surprising fish. Them being flat with two eyes on top i always saw them as being this kind of derpy fish but they are surprisingly quick and hit that bait pretty hard at times.

[@jace6555]

Thank you another great video.

[@stevensmith8580]

Great video, Very entertaining and informative. Thanks

[@Saltyscales]

Hello John, I just stumbled upon your channel and I must say you have some great videos. I love the perspective with the flounder video.

[@thomaslawrence3232]

This is GREAT! I wonder how many fish I've missed lazily drifting along.

[@frankdimauro4776]

Hey John. Fantastic video. I had no idea the fluke went that crazy for bucktail. I'll give it a try out in Montauk this summer.

[@wilrecob4274]

this is a fantastic vid, shout out to your podcast interview with salt strong for finding you!

[@God_Famiily_Fishing]

Seen several of your videos ALL IS AMAZING Thanks for sharing your results

[@904fishingmusicandadventur9]

I am new to flounder fishing down here in Jacksonville, FL... thanks for the videos, yes, I subscribed... thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!

[@eddietyre9784]

What an awesome video! I can't seem to find flounder anywhere. Only caught two ever and they were on accident. I'd love to learn how and where to fish them

[@GillAgainsIsland12]

Bays on Long Island.

[@vincenzomariani3069]

Vincent Ardizzone fishing in bayshore? Is that what u mean?

[@wendylewis1725]

Excellent footage! How exciting!!

[@michaelhanlon732]

thats a nice fluke too this video is making me very aggravated like i usually get fluke fishing lol thanks john great video. im having a decent year so far and its do to a lot of what i learnd from your books and vids

[@bowhuntingunlimited9756]

Love fluke fishing. That buck tail setup is exactly what I use but here in jersey we fish a little deeper water and use anywhere from 1oz-8oz bucktails on the bottom. Surprisingly small fish will still hit the 8oz buck tail

[@joefish63]

That was fantastic footage!

[@DeepSalt7]

Outstanding shots!

[@bradjohnsonkayakfishing]

Great informative video. Always wondered what all was going on with those crazy bumps and lags in tension when flounder fishing.

[@jamesdelaney3797]

Great stuff. I am thoroughly impressed

[@dannie3117]

Great video, John!

[@Tracker7266]

Love your videos John. Keep up the good work.

[@brandonjones2378]

Amazing video and even better commentary

[@authbrannon]

I'm used to fishing those on land in long island, 2oz sinker with bloodworm on a straight shank. If you put tension on the line, when you get a hit you'll actually see the line loose tension. When you set the hook they will curve their tail downward and dig in the sand.

[@paulthomas4173]

Absolutely great video!! Thanks for sharing John, this is a gem

[@vito5465]

Excellent video Mr. Skinner! Your videos are amazing and a great learning tool. Thank you!

[@davidpaul3958]

Awesome footage and knowledge

[@jthepickle7]

You're a flounder scientist!

[@thomasgerstenberg1632]

Great footage and Analysis!

[@gregkerr725]

Very interesting video, and wow, you sure have a great population of Flounder up there!

[@stevewarfel5788]

Exceptional video

[@IslandOutdoors]

EXCELLENT FOOTAGE! Nice work!

[@markschaffer167]

Absolutely amazing!! Thank you !! I’ll definitely subscribe!!

[@sleepyomlets2328]

THE MAN! THE MYTH! THE LEGEND!!

[@DarkSith1980]

Your videos are awesome! Thanks!

[@cliffhregis]

Wow!! Amazing and educational. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@bonomia1111]

This camera would be great to see on a bucktail rig fishing a rip for bass... Reefs are slow on the north shore of Long Island Sound here in CT as of 5/29. Saw a lot of boats dragging strip baits off of Greenport over the weekend not sure how they fared. Another great video please keep them coming. Anyone watching these videos that hasn't read John's books yet needs to read them. I learned more in reading one chapter of one of his books than I could learn in 5 season of fishing.

[@ronziolkowski4469]

Thank you Mr Skinner Great video alot more go's an down therethen i thought! I learned alot from this one!

[@PJPantelis]

This was super interesting!! Thankyou :)

[@humbertosoto6147]

Great educational footage

[@NESQUIN]

Amazing vídeo 👍👍

[@josephpetruccelli2538]

Awesome video. First time viewing it. Very helpful on understanding how the act.

[@hotburnymustard]

Wow! Great footage & insights. Thanks!!!

[@blakeshaw5272]

great footage. Very enlightening. thank you for that!

[@fernandojose6853]

Nice very nice video i enjoy seeing how flounders hit bait jigs :)

[@radioguy1620]

Great video, I found the bucktail works best of all my lures for almost any fish,

[@stateniland]

amazing how we always thought LIVE bait would work over a GULP.. now we know.. thx John

[@MrMightyBeans]

Incredible video. Please keep it coming very cool very cool.

[@mjhamilton51]

John In the later part of the summer I usually fish deep water and big current three ounce buck tails do not hold I have noticed Fluke generally do not like heavier bucktails

[@MGS566]

Yes, the fish were inhaling the bait with the camera, but not the buck tails. Seeing this might have changed my opinion on weather I should or shouldn’t use a stinger hook, but having hearing your opinion on them possibly changing the action of the buck tail I have to side with you.👍🏻👍🏻

[@OttoMatieque]

thanks for the info. I did not think flounder followed the bate or lure that way. I always thought they layer on the bottom and did an ambush while moving only a foot or two

[@pressmaster1255]

That’s an awesome view!!

[@garynguyen3715]

Thank you for posting the video. That was interesting!

[@RUMEOS]

A revelation! Unreal footage...

[@2580anonymous]

You have amazing footages man. Amazing

[@robertspina4503]

Great footage

[@captaincavern200]

Mr Skinner , Congratulations for this (and the past videos ) , I will try this bucktail fishing asap

[@fishingtheseas1570]

Omg this underwater footage is soo funny bro when I see the fluke just staring at the bucktail then he goes for it and just gets yanked. Hahaha. This is very good footage of how they behave though.

[@pastoradammcghee8969]

Awesome video!! I learned so much!!
