I wish it was that easy in my area of the Chesapeake. I'm new to the area and haven't found the flounder from shore. I did catch a couple babies at a pier 2 days ago and the locals say they'll be back so hopefully I'll get on them.
Yeah i haven’t fished the Chesapeake for Flounder since i was a kid. Striper is another story. Chesapeake produces great Striper fishing! Im sure you’ll find them though if you put the time in. Tight lines and good luck!
hey there the water looks so clean and the fishing is good and there are not a million people so I am in Queens and able to relocate in the coming years, where in New Jersey do I need to move to in order to gain access to this fishing place thank you
@@The_Bearded_Fisherman right good to know it does not matter if you have a residency when you say south Jersey could you tell me some towns nearby that are good places to live safe but not million dollar houses
That's a cool little area to find some fluke. Please do yourself a favor though and make a better habit of measuring fish with the ruler underneath them. You're getting inaccurate measurements when you put the ruler over the top of the fish, and it may cost you with fish and game if they decide to measure
Its power pro braid. Alot more versatile and abrasion resistant. Stronger hooksets smaller diameter. Im always using a fluorocarbon leader tho. That line isnt going straight to the bait
No problem bro. Yeah ill be down there this weekend. Reports have been pretty decent lately so im gonna give it a full day shot! Good luck brother tight lines!
Yeah man that’s def what it is. I took it apart that day when i got home. I didn’t order a new one but i cleaned out all the corrosion and regreased. Its a year old and i always clean after i use it in the salt kinda annoying but hopefully that does the trick. If not new bearing is getting ordered!
Yeah it was the line roller bearing. Took it apart when i got home that day. With the reel off the rod its silent that’s how I realized it was the line roller. I greased it up cleaned out the corrosion so hopefully that does the trick.
That Vanford is literally a year old. Its a great reel. Sad to see the bearing go that quick but its a $10 fix. Thing is super light and that’s what i wanted for my fluke setup.
Not far from AC but more towards Strathmere area. Honestly if you time the tides correctly you can find flounder all over south jersey early season. Specifically inlets and back bay waters.
7’ Tsunami Trophy slow pitch and Shimano Vanford 5000. Had to replace the line roller bearing on the reel when i got home. That’s what you hear in the video. Fixed now. Perfect fluke setup tho
What was the tide conditions? This video was also very early in the season. They can still be caught there but ocean side fluking is the best right now
That reel never saw the sand until that day but def salt water corrosion to the line roller bearing from using it on the boat the entire previous year. This was also the first trip using the reel since putting it away the previous year. I clean with fresh water after every trip as well. I def maintain my gear thoroughly that’s why i was shocked on this trip but the line roller bearing is a very common fail for shimano reels that are used in the salt.
A great fisherman and even better sportsman, great video ted, 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Thanks cuz
Awesome video!! Your channel looks really cool, can't wait to see more!! Just subbed too👊

Cool video!
Thanks Brotha
Nice!
Thanks Chris

Trust me, it's not always that good. Good part about that spot is if you're not feeling that spot there's good options close.
hey there
the water looks so clean and the fishing is good and there are not a million people
so I am in Queens and able to relocate in the coming years, where in New Jersey do I need to move to in order to gain access to this fishing place
thank you
This is all open to public in south Jersey. Just be courteous and clean up after yourself
@@The_Bearded_Fisherman right
good to know it does not matter if you have a residency
when you say south Jersey
could you tell me some towns nearby that are good places to live
safe but not million dollar houses
@stevetautog…You can fish in Somers Point at the local sewer plant .
THANK YOU for hauling out your trash!
Always Barry!

Yeah if i was keeping them that’s how i always measure. I was just getting quick measurements to see. But def good advise! I completely agree
Bump boards are nice
nice video , what town were you near?
Strathmere area Julie
Your right about ☝️ thing, that WOULD’VE been your limit. 🤦🏽♂️
😂
Cool video. Why do you use yellow line?
Its power pro braid. Alot more versatile and abrasion resistant. Stronger hooksets smaller diameter. Im always using a fluorocarbon leader tho. That line isnt going straight to the bait
Great video. What rig set up are you using?
I was using a 1oz white bucktail on bottom with a dropper loop and single octo hook a foot up. Both tipped with 4in pink shine swimming mullet.
@The Bearded Fisherman thanks brother I will be up that area this weekend can't wait to go fluke fishing.
No problem bro. Yeah ill be down there this weekend. Reports have been pretty decent lately so im gonna give it a full day shot! Good luck brother tight lines!
Good luck brother tight lines!
I went to Jersey on Tuesday and got a 19 1/2 flounder
That’s awesome great job Evan!
@@The_Bearded_Fisherman thanks you might have to show me some spots 😂
I got ya Ev
@@The_Bearded_Fisherman yea same here, hope to see you around
Sounds like your line roller bearing happens to all my stradics easy 10$ fix
Yeah man that’s def what it is. I took it apart that day when i got home. I didn’t order a new one but i cleaned out all the corrosion and regreased. Its a year old and i always clean after i use it in the salt kinda annoying but hopefully that does the trick. If not new bearing is getting ordered!
Where you fishing at in south jersey ?
Strathmere in this video
How long you had that vanford? How happy are you with that reel?
Reel sounds like it needs to be Grease up. Salt got into the reel and slowly biting the inside gears .
Yeah it was the line roller bearing. Took it apart when i got home that day. With the reel off the rod its silent that’s how I realized it was the line roller. I greased it up cleaned out the corrosion so hopefully that does the trick.

where is this jetty?
Avalon
Is that Atlantic city? Great egg Bay was the best in little egg township but it was in between Atlantic city and long Beach Island

I do usually use spro but on this day i was using a 3/4 oz Andrus
Where’s this jetty at
Its in the Avalon area Bernard
Where was this?
Strathmere area
What setup are you using?
7’ Tsunami Trophy slow pitch and Shimano Vanford 5000. Had to replace the line roller bearing on the reel when i got home. That’s what you hear in the video. Fixed now. Perfect fluke setup tho
@@The_Bearded_Fisherman thank you very much
No problem buddy tight lines!
New Jersey fluke fisherman limit is three fish 18 inches or better .
Correct. Last year was different
I want to buy a home there. Any contacts?
Ill keep an eye and ear out for you Dan!
Just fished this spot and caught 0 flounder… don’t know how
What was the tide conditions? This video was also very early in the season. They can still be caught there but ocean side fluking is the best right now
It's called sand in your reel lol
That reel never saw the sand until that day but def salt water corrosion to the line roller bearing from using it on the boat the entire previous year.

Dude, rather than carrying a tape measure with you, put the tape measure on your rod!
Love that idea! That sounds much more convenient!
