This is my old boat 😢 The Fever Sportfishing. Glad to see fish still hitting the deck!

You commented last video about the bubba net I think its a great net except for the aluminum bracket if you contct bubba they will send you a new one for free

I do brain to leader to swivel

Your no name knot looks more like a uni knot.

It alway nice to see somone catch there first fluke.its also nice how you explain how to do it and why it important how to do it. Alsome job

What makes you decide on what color grub to use?

He's Hooked for life

Can i rig it with just gulp and bucktail without jigging it and letting it sit on bottom? Jigging is tiring man

Stand up!

Good Stuff man! Nice seein' You Sunday!

Wish I still had nice stick of S&S bucktail left

Casual $500 worth of gulp on the stern, nice.

Hi for fishing off the pier. What size bucktail to use? My line keeps drifting away due to current. Do I use heavier bucktail to keep it stable?

That's a really good one, I thought for a minute it was going to be a double diget

Pleasure to have you aboard First Attempt!

commercial get by catch alotment for out of season fish wish recreational did

I have landed 4 23 inch fluke thus year. Lost a doormat at the boat. Can't break 23. Hoping to get at least 1 bigger than 23 this year.

The best chance of catching a Doormat is an hour before Slack High and an hour into outgoing.

I saw one breach in the Race July 3rd. Cou d not believe my eyes!

Not a porbeagle?

yep pink shine for me.

Wasn't a double diget but a very good fish

I would find a NY boat - meet em and give them the fish

At least you can eat the sea robin and use the belly skin for cut bait

What great info. Thank you. I never ever thought of that.

Also, total side note ....just went on a charter with Halkias. As fun as I expected from the videos. I'm really looking forward to you two collaborating! I am right in Mystic and I think I know the answer to this already but I have to ask.....do you do any charters?

That 18 pound + fluke Joey caught was massive for sure. If it was not caught in Connecticut waters, it would still count as a CT State Record if weighed on a certified scale. How does that work?

❤️‍🩹🙏🇺🇸🙏❤️‍🩹

Gonna try your sabiki rig trick! I looked but so many sizes and options. Can you give me more specifics? And do you put any bait on it?

Like the clip from Jaws.....Hooper drives the boat chief.

Fly fishing term match the hatch...

Always remember if you need to have something weighed on a certified scale call or shown up at the nearest hospital as the scales in the morgues are certified. learned about that when McReynolds caught his record breaking striper in Atlantic City, NJ in 1978.

What weight bucktail? Approximate depth?

Stupid rule.

Rule is ridiculous but unethical people would just injure fish to keep them and we know there is a ton of unethical people out there

@19:28 That's the shit right there. I wish the 5" had the same girth/profile as the 6" so i wouldn't have to cut em like that on days when the bite is light.

Why are you expecting a good end to the fluke season? I'm assuming not in the bay. Since fluke tend to follow bait what upcoming events are we hoping for?

I must say I am out in Shinnecock Bay and the fluking is spotty at best. Outgoing tide only , wind with Tide only, lots of seaweed, 2 of us will work the whole tide to pick up two, maybe 3 keeper fish

Absolutely ridiculous that you had to put that fish back. Me and a couple of guys left out of Groton to go to Block Island on 7/3 in my 19’ Quest and the fluking was even worse than this. Ended up catching a couple of stripers down there that were both over slot and had to go back. We put back about 10 Seabass that were easy keepers. We ended up stopping by Isabella Beach on the way back and caught 10 fluke between the 3 of us. NOT ONE recreational size keeper! All 16-18.5”. My brother ended up taking home 6 sea robins just to have something to show for the day. These regulations are ridiculous! We didn’t have a terrible day fishing and certainly would have had some nice fillets if we could have kept the fish that day. I think my brother said it best “what a way to celebrate our freedom with all these regulations.”

I went to the seafood store on the end of rt 2 in pawcatuck and man those fish in would put regular giys in jail

I would have released the caucus and kept the meat that is a ridiculous rule. Whoever is writing these rules and regulations needs to get fired. I’m not saying they shouldn’t have rules and regulations but the people that are making the rules I’m not fisherman. Most of them are commercial fisherman, but only make rules in there favor why should a party boat be able to keep, a fish and a private boat not able to just crazy it should be illegal for them to even think about doing this to the recreational fisherman

The commercial industry needs to be reigned in a bit more in my opinion. I watch every year as sustenance anglers are hauled into courts and blamed & punished for damaging fisheries, yet local, state, and fed govs allow the commercial fishing industry to destroy fisheries. The Helen H is great boat!

Confusing

Great trip. U caught some nice flounder good one..

How many 4 inch or 6 inch spro in each bag

Morning! See ya out there soon! ❤

Good luck out there

Where do you boat out of?

sad to see the dragger, end the commercial waterman welfare system!
