I just moved to the Chesapeake Bay area in VA and I got a kayak yesterday. It's just a paddle type, but it's 13' and stable. In my first trip out I caught a little flounder this morning, too small but it's a start. Hopefully I'll learn something that helps from this video. Thanks for the info.

I have watched your channel so often that when my wife hear’s what’s going on y’all she says what’s he fishing for today. 🤣 keep up the great work and tight lines,

Hey, buddy, next time you're out of flounder fishing. Try like a 1 oz bucktail white paint green with a piece of squid on it, strip a squid, and add minnow either green bag or any fresh water minnow. You can get at the bait store Strip ofsquid And a Small bait fish. Up to three, up to 4 inches.

That looks like such a perfect day fishing!. That looks like such a perfect day fishing!.

Artificials are the best way to enjoy a one on one battle. I’ve noticed a lot of youtubers that fish artificials tend to have a much larger viewer base. Good stuff Nate.

Your excitement really makes the video.

Ive been watching your channel for tips the last couple years. Grew up only fishing fresh water but have been going to chincoteague for 20+ years so I finally decided to try my hand at flounder and had an AMAZING weekend fishing. Really only fish off of banks or piers but I target structure with artificial. Thank you again for all your how too's and content!

Great video once again Nate, love the in depth Intel. I'm originally from the Northeast and I've been living in the South for 20+ years now and flounder fishing is totally different down here. I'm slowly learning how to use artificials thanks to you so I really appreciate everything you do. Thanks

Nate great video I do most of my fishing around west and east bay in Panama City Fl i find it very difficult to fish for flounder because of all the grass How do you get around this in your area of Mobile?

@southernsalt

10 ай бұрын

Around PCB and really any clear water area you’re going to have a ton of grass. In these areas I fish under docks and around bridges a lot. You basically got to fish where there isn’t any grass sometimes that means fishing very deep.

I use vudu shrimp when I target flounder during spring and summer. Actually I'm going to catch some in the morning.

Use gulp or fish bites and you will put away the live bait. Before those type of products were available I was out fishing live baiters bumping sparkle beetle grubs on the bottom. The only time I choose live bait for flounder fishing now is when I am specifically targeting really big flounder and I use 6 inch live finger mullet.
