- With flounder season winding down I hit it hard this week. Not too many numbers but we found a few more good bites. Fished live mullet on Carolina rigs around the docks, jetty, and ocean.

Reaction to personal best southern flounder was priceless. I've never seen you get that excited before, usually, you are calm, cool and collected. Great content. I like fishing with live bait.
You handled that 1st dock flounder like the expert you are. I was in awe. I thought for a second that the netting was gonna be a problem but you cooly adjusted your approach and bagged that big girl. Man, you got the skills. And then that red at the dock. Jaw dropping effort. Completely cool and in control. Kudos to you.
When you caught the big flounder in the last video I thought it was just a fluke. Now you’re just showing off. Great video like always.
Wait, was that a pun??
I believe he said in the last video, this big fluke was caught first being his PB he wanted to show it first.
I love your laugh and excitement when you hoke up with a big fish like this doormat. Watching you in the video is like imagining me catching the fish myself. Keep em coming man!!
I can't believe you caught that beast of a flounder on the last day. Happy for you man!
I think this is the first time I've seen you get genuinely excited over a catch!!!
I like that you are not too proud to make a swap to the live mullet as of lately to get on the fish. It was funny how when the flounder season was out, you caught as many as you could stand and now that its in they wanna be finicky. Anyways, cheers as always - love the content
Wow, I've never seen a Flounder fight like that. What an awesome catch!
nice of the big flounder to leave new jersey and head to you in the carolinas.
That 1st big Flounder was saWEEEET! 💪👏
First big flounder 100% fought like a red. I was sure it was a red until you could see it.
I love it when you get so excited
The accuracy on those casts. Good stuff
Congrats on the Doormat! It's such a good feeling when you get the fish you've been chasing.
Damn Elias.. I thought that first one might have been a red.. boy was I wrong! what a tarp! A lot of fun as always my man.. thanks for taking me along..
When you cast over that rope I thought, 'that's going to be interesting'. Well done!
I was thinking the same thing! he did a great job!
I love the dock videos. Makes me think I can go to any dock on the south shore of Long Island and pull up doormats and stripers
Just picked up the buffalo fish bag a few months ago and love it!! Keep up the great videos!!
That’s a monster flounder wow. Love this.
Hi
Super nice Flounder. Some of the best eating fish in the Ocean. IMO fried is the best. One of a kind texture and taste.
Was able to put a buddy of mine (only his second time flounder fishing ) onto a 24inch on monday ot was laying in like a foot and half of water. Sad the season is ending but man this is giving me hopes for next season
Great end to the season. I'm ready for the big reds.
Dude, Skinner is up there catching crabs and you are catching area rugs! You need to put out a course!
Ol' John is just a Gulp! salesman. :)
Always like a flounder video. Sadly the new york season ends tomorrow. Put off by the hurricanes last week that basically shut down the fishing. But it was a good year.
Definitely seems like the sizes have jumped this year. Maybe the closure has helped? Caught 2 citation sized flounder off a dock near where you were at the end. Hope next year jumps even more. Keep up the great vids
Great video, I thoroughly enjoyed watching it this morning.
A fitting finale for a very short season. Seems like only a few weeks ago you were waiting for the opener.
I just saw the majora's mask tattoo! Awesome!
Catch and cook video time!!!
Man what an epic first fish!!
You are the absolute best!!!
wow it's really monster!!
I never saw such a bog one from inshore!!
Thanks for sharing!!
Man that first flounder was a STUD. Seriously considering getting a nice kayak just because of you man
Dam,t Man that's a serious door Mat.great video.
Hahaha I’ve never seen you that excited! Great video!
Tomorrow is looking ok. Going after flatties one last time. Weather looks perfect for nearshore.
Good luck, it looks good. I’m going to chase the Spanish mackerel along the beach 👍
@@EliasVFishing That's my backup plan if the usual spot doesn't have flounder on it. We're getting to the point where Spanish are loading up inside the inlets, which is a blessing to us tiny boaters that have a two hour window after work.
How do you locate mackeral ?
@@longislandangler6741 Easiest for me this time of year is go bottom fish at the local inlet jetty, and keep a look out for birds diving. Found them last year on incoming tide at a spot (inside the inlet) where the depth goes from 25ft to 7ft pretty fast, like a baitfish funnel. After I found the spot via the birds, I could come back to that spot at the same tide, and the spanish were there just about every time, birds or not. Hope that helps.
Great trip, keep on rockin.
Elias you are not good at structure fishing, you are the best.
Awesome job. Way to end that Flounder season!!!!!
Amazing PB flounder. NIce job
Your making my decision to move from WV to NC alot easier.. Thanks bud!
Great job landing that red from in the docks!!! Not an easy task when your not running the right tackle for it.
I was taught to go stout and larger than you think you will need gear wise so you can bully the bigger fish out and end the fight fast. If you don't a game of ring-around-the-piling!!! 😂
Beautiful fish.
Hey Elias the fall pompano run has started on the crystal coast beaches.
Amazing FLUKE! NYC is jealous ;)
Elias, Show us the "Doormat" we know your capable of catching. Maybee catch and cook? Stay safe from Pennsylvania. Prayers sent for Meg,Elias. God bless
Outstanding Video Elias,,,,Thank You!
hell yeah a hawg right in front of the blockade runner!
You're the best out there.
my favorite eating fish
Just awesome content !
That flounder was hugeeeee...... legit looked like a halibut. Congrats on the PB!
We definitely don’t catch the big huge flounder down in the Gulf of Mexico when I get to go down there but I have got on some 15-20 inches but it’s very rare. When the limit was 10 fish at 12 inches long we used to get several limits but never any big fish. The best I’ve ever done is a limit of 10 with the biggest being 22 1/2 inches and the smallest 13 and the rest were 14 to 16 inches.
I don’t know about you there but down here I’ve noticed the reds have a lot better taste when the water cools down a bit. It’s so noticeable that I enjoy them as much as the flounder nearly when they come from cold water. Notice I said ALMOST lol. Nothing beats a good flounder or trigger fish imo
I agree, winter redfish off ocean sand are absolutely incredible to eat.
EliasVFishing I know you’ve said before you didn’t care that much for them and or one have to agree about summer time reds especially shallow water marsh reds in warm water but like you said cold water ocean reds are incredible eating.
Back to back videos with two stud flounder like that? You might want to play the lottery
You’re a legend brother!! Keep grinding!
DOOOORRMAAAATTTTTTTTTT
Congratulations on dat PB door mat
Happy for you bro, congratulations!
Great vid man, keep it up
I caught a lil 12 inch flounder today, it was a baby but I haven’t caught a flounder since I lost one at my feet as a kid!
Man watching you kill them flounder inspired me to get a kayak....Your living the dream friend..💯
That’s an area rug!
You getting smoked at that dock reminded of tampa bay inshore grouper; like stopping a freight train
Wow. Just wow. Beautiful!
Would love to see a gear/ rig review. Love your set ups.
Way to end the season!!
Just a question here, I watch your videos everyday and I love them, my question is because I'm getting ready to retire and I would love to be able to do what you're doing, in saying that being at rookie kayaker at 60 years old in good health mentally and physically I would like a recommendation of the best kayak with paddles and a trolling motor I hope you can answer this question, and keep up the good work because when I can't go fishing I always watch you and I'm very jealous ❤️🐸
Since no one answered you. I would check out at least 14ft long kayaks with trolling motor features built in. Trolling motor GPS Spot lock is a great feature as well. Sit in is the best vs sit on IMO. More storage space and drier. Get the best seat option and leg room you can find. IMO the most comfortable set up possible. Solid adjustable rod holders. Solid mount point for Nav/Fish finder. RAM mounts are awesome for rod holders and Nav mounts. Best possible storage space. If you want to fish open water a seaworthy hull that can handle rough water. Last but not least. Best balance when standing up and sitting. Also great floor space.
Every video is a banger lmao
Second time I've watched him. Second time I've wondered the length of the fish. So frustrating.
that's a true doormat
When there is peace in my country, I will definitely visit Florida for tourist purposes and try fishing there. Currently, it is not possible to go to the rivers and fish in Ukraine due to military operations.
If u r reading this god loves u
Inspiring video, thanks. Newbie question here. When you say last of the “ flounder” season, does that mean they go away, or fish and game says your done, or it gets to cold.? Thanks
Season here ends September 30 which is technically today.
NICE 🎣💪🏾😎
Love watching your vids I will actually be down in the Wilmington area Thursday thru sunday would love to meet you and say hello if you’re available
Lucky dude, they (halibut) have to be 22in here in San Diego, CA to keep
Elias take me fishing lol
Wow! Nice Fish 👍
You must get there before daylight to get a parking space. That towns parking sucks!!
love the video!
Would be so cool to take my Hobie and do that
where i live, flounders are rare you might get one a year and they're small.
Good stuff man! Love your vids! Quick question when you’re live baiting mullets, what size and style hooks are you using? Thanks in advance! Tight Lines!
Is there a link to the cast net you used?
How many different kayaks do you have?
My question is why would you want to stop fishing for flounder inshore! The fish are there, and they are solid. I would target them harder.
Nice work out there .love the video.did you keep the red? Makes a great sandwich 🥪
I’ve seen somewhere that flounder target bait fish since they were made to eat bait fish. For instance, a wider mouth and a part on their body that helps them sense vibrations. Have you had more success catching flounder with bait fish or shrimp?
Those kayaks need a seat that swivels(if they don’t make em like that).
Elias if only had 1200 for a decent kayak what would you get??? I live on the east coast of Florida.
I'm not Elias but I'd get an Ocean Kayak Trident 13 for around that price.
Damn, dude.
How're you liking that new spinfisher?
Like them a lot, added a second one to my setups
At 6:20 the text is not up long enough. Think of it like a silent movie; you need enough time to kiss your girl, get a handful of her popcorn and read the text. And give us more time because after all we are all drinking like Winston Churchill to help ward off this virus.
Where did you get that little livewell float you are using for the bait?
Can you tell us why you switched to the grey kayak in the middle of the video ?
Hi
great video. Did you make that bait bucket?
I was curious about the hooks you used, the Description below shows Mustad hooks not vcm’s
Looks like they are sold out on Amazon - these are the ones I like best: 2/0 for small mullet.

The one you missed was a flounder man. Painful.
I was on a party boat killing the fluke. It was about 10 minutes before lines up and I thought I hooked bottom. My pole doubled over almost. The whole boat was watching then the fish was gone. I was devastated. I had a lot to brag about that day about what I did catch but all I obsessed on was the one I didn't. Worst feeling ever the "what if"
i want your opinion on seaguar ive seen you use different leaders, which is really the best? is seaguar worth the extra cash ?
