  • Weakfish can be tricky. They show up and leave mysteriously. I have had most success catching them on Zoom Flukes with light jig heads. Something about the action of that lure really works well.

    Nice Bob, love getting on those summer weakfish! Hoping they really fill out in the Western sound like they have been doing the past few summers!

      Its right in line with last year which is exciting. Same temps, same bait. Wish I could figure the weakfish out, they are so mysterious. Thank you for watching Dan!

    Great video!!! I visit family in New York about once a year and have seen people fishing The East River but had no idea how good the fishing was. On the other hand, the entire New York Harbor area should be an excellent fishery just because of the location.

    Ive been killing it with super fluke and flounder pounder bucktailing for fluke. 5 pounder under MPB this week. So nice to not use gulp.
    I will happily take you out in my boat if you can help me find weakies in jamaica bay!!!

      Hey Adrian! Great to hear from you. Thank you for watching. I like the bait caster in the summer. Can get some better action on the spinning but for vertical and fluke the bait caster rocks

    Our Jersey weakies really love the pink flukes. Whenever I catch some it's almost always on the pink.

    • @BobAquatic
      @BobAquatic  Před 15 dny

      Bubblegum is the best color for them. They go nuts for it. Totally agree. Purple works too!

    If you’ve ever seen video or a fluke in an aquarium that vibrating shake is how they quickly bury themselves in the sand. It’s cool to watch.

      It's really fascinating. Like a full body nerve response movement. Would love to know the science of how they make they're body do that.

    I just started kayak fishing for fluke in Long Island and was wondering 1) what weight bucktails do you typically use? and 2) do you actually mark fluke on your sonar? If not, what are you looking for to find them? Big fan of your videos!

    • @BobAquatic
      @BobAquatic  Před 15 dny

      Fluke from the kayak is mad fun. Depending on the depth/ current I'll rarely go over 1oz. Mostly 1/4 - 3/8th honestly. But I am fishing relatively shallow water, between 1-35ft usually. Yes will mark the swim bladder on the sonar but never looking for it to go fishing. Usually its just extra boost of confidence they are down there. I usually look for clouds of bait this time of year or drops/hills with boulders nearby. They like hunting on inclines and the boulders hold bait.

    Zoom flukes are killers ! Both the 4” and larger 7” I’ve caught everything on them, inexpensive and effective plastic. Curious why weakfish always seem to hit pink ? All weaks Ive caught have been on either pink plastics or pink bucktails and pink shine gulp ?!

    • @BobAquatic
      @BobAquatic  Před 15 dny

      They just work. Whatever blend they made for that plastisol is the perfect combo of cheap and excellent action. I used to pretty much exclusively buy zoom flukes and kastmasters from Walmart every season. Only lures I'd use, and catch mad fish. Every time I'd branch out and buy stuff like Storm shads, I'd never catch. This was pre-youtube
