  • This video goes in depth into how to catch flounder and fluke using several flounder rigs that work amazingly well at catching flounder and fluke in almost any condition. These are the only rigs you need to catch flounder and the rigs that I personally have used for years. Inshore fishing for flounder can be tough and with these simple flounder and fluke rigs you can get out there and put more flounder and fluke in your boat.

    Anglers,
    After speaking with some excellent fishermen from the northeast, I asked them to view this post and comment on these fishing techniques and if they would work in the Rhode Island Connecticut New York region. They absolutely will Work beautifully!!

    I live close to Gulf Shores & although I started out strictly surf casting, over time got to where I enjoy the jetties and inlets a lot more, looking for flounder. I like being able to fish the same tactics for the most part and just adjusting weight for the water column & strike zones. Love saltwater jig fishing!

    this is fantastic and I certainly agree, but the video assumes people either already have all these rods and reels or are able to afford them. But what if you cannot or are on a budget? That’s me. I just gotta retie every time. I definitely plan to get more rods and reels but decent quality combos run at least 200 USD from what I have seen. And, so I am stuck with my one rod and reel, currently.

Last week in 2 days I caught 35 or so flounder in the same spot. Damnit Jim! I use 2/0 kahle hooks and love em. Used to not set the hook on circle hooks and lost a bunch at the boat when they would spit the hook. . Lol you know your stuff bro! Not a fan of artificial. Flats jig is same as Bucktail?

    • @southernsalt

      Depending on current 3/8 should be fine. The goal is to use the least amount of weight possible but still stay on the bottom.

    I like the way you think. I also have seen people fishing with 2 or 3 feet of leader. My question is what month is the best time to fish for flounder? I live down south and I go to Port Aransas Aransas pass in those areas not to mention corpus Christi. What month is the best time to go?
