Opening Day Flounder...Did We Limit?

[@seancallaghan3658]

The fact that you’re a breaking bad fan with los pollos T-shirt makes you rock even more!!! Awesome Elias!

[@chriskodani2543]

Thank you so much for posting! I love kayak fishing inshore North Carolina whenever I can get out there, and have learned so much from all of your videos. Keep rockin!!!

[@woodystemms3799]

Well done. Opening day was worth the wait ... and bodes well for the rest of the season. A significant drop in boat traffic and fishing pressure will give fish stocks a year off. Can't hurt.

[@darrellsheldon1394]

Loved the rainbow over your shoulder in the opening water scene where you caught the red.

[@TomMendoladrums]

I agree Elias. The boat traffic impacts the fishing. Have a great season.

[@tideoneon6358]

I got skunked Sunday in Carolina beach but boy was taking Monday off work worth it, the weather was great and the river produced

[@christopherpeterraby]

sweet videos, I need to get one of those old town kayaks!

[@WOLFTICKVIDEOS]

This video made me hungry. I would flip out over those fish man haha. Thanks for the video brother.

[@tinkmarshino]

Finally you get to keep a few of those door mats.. or back porch mats.. you always make me want to move back to the coast..

[@paddleandhook]

Nice inshore flounder sir! I see the spot lock is quickly proving to be invaluable 💪🏻

[@patrickschmitt8738]

With all the doormats you've been catching lately I figured you'd have a heck of a video once the season opened! Good job!

[@fresh2saltfishing376]

I LOVE these kind of videos

[@FrankLadd]

Great Video! Thanks for sharing. Not sure I'll take any flounder this year, but I hope they do well so we might be able to fish for them all year like in other states.

[@thebert010]

Opening day was tough inshore man. Looks like the weather the night before and morning of, chased em all out for a few days. It was definitely a grind.

[@tarshanewson]

Okay Awesome Cooler set-up Nice size Flounders 👏🏿👏🏿💞

[@keithjames3838]

Great videos - thanks! Would love to know, exactly, where you are fishing on these different days. I am sure you like to keep things to yourself but the region or area would be nice. Go to NC beaches alot and some things look familiar.

[@TMOFishing]

Damn you! I had shit to do, then I saw you had uploaded a new video. Looks like the lawn can wait, lol.

[@specfever2]

There were an insane number of boats at all ramps on the Pamlico's north shore Sunday morning!

[@temoniprince]

We call them Fluek up North. Another awesome vid ...

[@DeadCalmOutdoors]

need to get down to South Carolina and get those flatties. Great Vid. Cheers!

[@andrewhaley8992]

Just left Mt Pleasent SC, by way of GA. Great fishing flounder, trout, and some Reds.

[@TheJaymon1962]

Where are you getting your exercise now? Love the new boat!

[@marcmtpleasant9656]

Probably from unloading that beast on and off the truck 💪🏼

[@mikeknottscreek8183]

You sound disappointed but in my book you had a good morning catching flounder. I always enjoy the videos.

[@gbouley1]

Inshore flounder nice, not like here in the Northeast, you need 50 to 80 foot of water with structure. Thanks looking forward to a catch and cook.

[@cowboypicker1968]

Your awesome, please do a catch and cook on those Flounders!!!

[@idkwhattouseforname]

Man. Can't imagine fishing a 15'' inch limit here in NY. I've been trying to shift away from gulp too. They tear so easily and I'm burning through packs a trip.

[@FMorgigno1]

So you're liking the Old Town with the spot lock? A few guys panned it but I trust your assessment. Would you recommend it in the Long Island fishery?

[@archiemorris3305]

Listen man your doing a good job don’t think about just fish it and don’t forget the tarter sauce and hot sauce keep the lines tight cause it’s all about hook set happy fishing

[@thelastmeal2023]

That shirt! Lol, Gustavo would be rolling in his grave 😭

[@stevenmoeck1770]

Spoiler nooooo😭

[@drifteroutdoors]

Lots of shorts up here in the OBX with some 22s mixed in.

[@MrJuansWorld]

Dumb question: at 2:40, how do you determine a choke point along the jetty wall? It is bottom contour? Maybe it's the go-pro's lens, but it didn't look like you were super close to the wall.

[@deekdotcom2]

I’ll be going this weekend on my kayak in Morehead City! What scents do you use?

[@FrankLadd]

He said he was using menhaden scent. I fish in MHC, maybe I'll see you our there. I'll be in an outrigger canoe.

[@loganmcghee2806]

where about

[@frankpotter6056]

Menhaden and shrimp sets are the best 2 that i have found, mullet sometimes pulls through

[@deekdotcom2]

I’ll be out tomorrow on a yellow manta around the port

[@FrankLadd]

@@deekdotcom2 How did you do at the port?

[@Aaron.Davis56]

Fishing pressure is way down. Charters got a late start and they can only take out about 1/3 due to social distancing. Some have increased trip price to make up the difference and that turned off some customers. I see a lot more pleasure boaters where I'm at in Old Saybrook CT

[@willriley1619]

I think a lot of people went gigging before daylight on opening day. The boat traffic does suck on the weekend. I don't even bother fishing Wrightsville beach during the weekend unless I'm going offshore. I've been fishing the river more on weekends you can still catch good flounder in there and you don't have to be close to the inlet to do it. Just a little more places to go to get away from everyone in the river

[@hokuinsai4299]

Good Work Braddah 😎🤙🏾

[@thomasjarosz7406]

Elias, show us the "Doormats" Team Procure! Team Minkota Autopilot. That Kayak Looks like Fun! Meg try that out yet? Stay safe from Pennsylvania. Prayers sent for Meg,Elias. God bless

[@EliasVFishing]

This weekend I’ll get her out on it

[@michaelhornung7266]

Good stuff good info n insight. Thanks

[@douglasebert4542]

Nice job, I tried Monday instead of opening day and skunked out on gulp. Bunch of tail biters

[@robertgerber2533]

Would love to be able to pull flounder like that from under docks up north

[@davecassady7468]

Says "heyyy" to the sheeps like its a kitten 😂

[@lymanadickinson]

Just moved to Kitty Hawk looking to get into the kayak fishing. Any good places to look for used kayaks?

[@MatindianGirl06]

Nice looking flounder EliasV.

[@richdunn9774]

How are you transporting that Old Town?

[@chadritchey1427]

Skinner is going to be jealous!

[@octaviofuentes7781]

Monster fish are just baby fish for this guy hey elias good video as always

[@TheJaymon1962]

Nice start. "Covid traffic." Good term.

[@stevehogan8829]

So Elias, sorry about my nubness but are you catching Flounder because that is what's moving and biting this time of year. It's not because of where or how you're fishing, right? Again sorry about being a noob. Good to hear your thoughts on traffic and pressure. Thanks.

[@thomashughes8634]

I was ready for this day

[@alabamakayaker5282]

Dang Elias you loving the autopilot !

[@cliffordhutt143]

How did you like the handling of the Autopilot around the docks?

[@carterodonnell1089]

Elias Your The Best!

[@philbarrows424]

We’re not keeping fish today, proceeds to load up the cooler👍🏻👍🏻🤪🤪🎣🎣

[@carterodonnell1089]

Love The Video!

[@garrettlambert4128]

Do u think the biggest fluke are caught inshore or offshore up north??!

[@andytran8567]

What is the name of the white plastic bottle?

[@nickrocksify]

Why does the season start so late down there? Jersey starts end of may

[@robertgerber2533]

Do the southern flounder taste the same as fluke?

[@EliasVFishing]

Little bit firmer. But the ones that come off the real backwater mud do have an off smell/taste.

[@Jigging-steve]

Is that the 120 or the 136 auto pilot

[@Patrick-ni7bs]

Flounder fishing open in May 19th here in new jersey

[@Triberius]

Noticed you have a Hummingbird graph on there, thought you were a Lowrance guy...

[@1DesertCop]

where did you get cooler bag

[@neal4reel723]

You trust that old town in the ocean?

[@jpapi1]

What are you using for scent????

[@fishhubbd]

Alluring...

[@morrisronald96]

I got rekt the last three days, caught one sunday 13.5inches, none monday, and lost a 25 incher on shore trying to land it popped my line, kinda hurt but it might be a state record one day

[@OAXBORN]

My condolences to u

[@chrisaman5501]

Nice man

[@Saltynativefishing]

How often do you re scent your baits? I've been curiously for a while

[@JoelDValls]

What editing program do you use for your videos?

[@deanfulford69]

Your the man 👌

[@leroywilson4267]

Man I'm jealous!

[@hookdup1927]

does that procure stuff work?

[@samxslam]

What kinda liquid you put on those lure?

[@brooklynanglerfishing]

Great size flounder. I prefer using spinning rather than casting for fluke fishing too. I feel I get better jigging action using a spinning set up

[@billydev208]

Don't flounder get huge? Or is that just in Alaska?

[@rolandfero9742]

You're thinking of halibut...

[@billydev208]

@@rolandfero9742 tyvm you are right...

[@dmghostman555]

Love your content 💯💯

[@johnpuckett899]

Hey man I'm kind of curious about something what kind of ProCure do you use

he said menhaden.

[@josephcain8643]

i love eating Flounder, my favorite

Yeah! Hook and Cook!!!

Where is this place ?

[@dylanzrim1011]

One time I missed my alarm by 30 minutes. Decided I was already too late. 😂 guess I just needed sleep

[@atatro5649]

Definitely covid fishing. I'm a surf caster that has a few choice campgrounds to fish from and the campgrounds are mobbed this year. Makes it hard to fish how you want

[@rokovidov9055]

thats a battle ship of kayaks!!

[@muddywaters1934]

@3:53 that looked like a big flounder to me...

[@michaelwhite6110]

do a clean and cook for flounder!

That autopilot looks great 👍.

[@mawgg9631]

lol i said whats up to you when i was on my dock this day

[@CapeCodCanalFishing]

3:56 was def a flounder u could see it shoot down, I kept watching it over and over then let the video play and then I caught one right after 😅 probably the same fish

[@thegamingfish547]

3:50 looked like a red i think

[@monkeymanstones1]

You're not kidding, wrong place. Considering what you were pulling out the water for flounder over the last 2 to 3 weeks, today was loaded with by comparison fry sized fish. PK

[@dd214fishing]

Nice video

[@brooklynanglerfishing]

How is the badfish monthly box? I go with salt warrior blitz box. They are great, they give you everything you need for saltwater fishing for the north east. I posted a video of their box last month check it out

[@dylanzrim1011]

Ahh no wake zones, a hovercrafts best enemy and best friend. You can do full speed with zero wake, then still get in trouble
