How to fish for- and catch Flounder

[GlaceBayNS]

I can not wait to fish for flounder thanks for the clam tip i shall be hitting the sandbar soon!

[SnojetSteve]

I think these are the same ones that we have on the Northumberland Strait. I've gone clamming before and saw them on the sand bars. Either that or they are some other kind of flat fish but they look like the same thing. Nice video!

[TZ3z]

Awesome vid!

[Plumpkinman812]

no sir. 2 thumbs up for u :)

[jmg0121]

I'll be using this info tomorrow, thanks!!

[smilingnihilist1]

Great video, you should be doin a show

[northernpike56]

@smilingnihilist1 Thanks for your comment bro

[JeroneSealy]

Clams do make a great bait.  Sandworms tend to be even better! I LOVE flounder fishing!

[VisionForum11]

How does Flounder taste compared to trout?

[TheWillsKitchen]

Id rather go fishin with you any day rather than a bunch of wannabe abercrombie and fitch models out of oregon inlet.

[daviddarks323]

cool fishing dude,what size of hook is that?

[XxThEcOdxX]

How Chuck Norris fishing ? You , you and you out !!!

[zzzzzzzzz269]

[crazyballz100]

its videos like these that put a smile on my face

[northernpike56]

@crazyballz100 it's comments like yours that put a smile on mine, thx :-)

[gwamese]

thanks

[SuperRJFILMS]

were can you find these fish can you find them in connecticut and in salt or fresh water

[BrownEyedQ]

I AM SO gonna try that method!!!

I love eating those fish, but I´ve never been able to catch one.

[xXxSIGNITxXx]

i am wondering would the clam gathering technique work on a beach such as myrtle beach in SC. i want to catch some flounder but all i find are those tiny mussles.

[gromacs1]

brilliant vidio ..excellent days fishing , love to come out and fish there , where are you fishing from? ..im in the uk .. i know you are abroad from me.. check out fishing vidios at arnside morcambe bay for flounders and plaice i think you may enjoy some of them, please keep your vidios coming thanks for them kind regards mac ..from uk..

[MarkoAbo]

Great video!

[phenobarbitalmv75]

So is this the kind of fish you make Perubian ceviche with?

[gtownsurfcody]

Howdy from Texas sir, us proud southerners use shrimp for flounders. Ha we use shrimp for all sorts of fish but the clams idea seamed to work for you and I'm willing to try it out I'll get back to you on that

[theonerepo]

Cool video down here in sc we don't catch flounder that fast. But we use sand crabs do yall have them out there or is the clam all u use.and do u use the chum baskets every time.I never tried them.and do u let them all the way to the bottom.that was a killer mess of flounder.

[Vauldas]

Awesome Vid.

[Mega090282]

how deep do you think is the depth suitable to catch the flounders

[sov19871987]

Thank you. I live in Seattle (USA) and will got to our Puget Sound Bay this weekends to catch some of them. Th

[ChantingCheese]

nice

[YourFriendlyMe]

my grandpa caught the state record fluke ounce in NY but i think someone broke it already.....he was in a magazine and shit

[bdhsingfish]

try using a heavier slip sinker instead of a light split shot

[gracie2525]

claims have brains?

[greatwhite1222]

@gracie2525 he said membrain....membrain meaing a slimy or mucusy type of section of the clam

[greatwhite1222]

@gracie2525 i thin thats what he means.....and i think clams do have brains lol

[TalkingToPlants]

I was at the beach the other day and I had goggles so i looking around the ocean floor I saw slugs, hermit crabs, and 3 small flounders.

[HighLevel760]

i dont know how to fish.....does anyone have a strategy on how to learn!?!?!

[FishingTheBass]

@HighLevel760 a good way to learn is to watch vids here and to ask local tackle shops whats the fish biting on they should know

[jawsflounderace]

I wish Winter Flounder were more plentiful in the Long island Sound

[UNEEKORNS]

Omg thanks this was so much help!!!

[TheRavens04]

my first day fishing i cought like a 26 or 28 inch flounder

[davestaff1]

How many did you catch?

[AquaticNERD777]

@davestaff1 i think he got ten

[sharkfishing37]

can you use the same clams but cast from shore

[AquaticNERD777]

@sharkfishing37 use a very long and strong rod with alot of weight.

[sharkfishing37]

@AquaticNERD777 okay thank you

[AquaticNERD777]

@sharkfishing37 yup

[flamedrag18]

@sharkfishing37 sure, I've caught them off wharves and off the shore if it's a drop off. but my best experience is from wharves, best places are close to fish plants where they feed off the scraps.

[loh1110]

Thank you. I learned a lot.

Question: Do you cast to where the chum cage is located?

[xIMxAwSoMeZx]

what type of fish can you catch near shore in the maritimes?

[yum499]

So fluent! Really amazing! Well done!

[MyFlounder1]

Excellent video,thoroughly enjoyed it.

Many thanks

[tr0mpwned]

thanks for the advice dude! you're a great fisherman, i'm definitely trying clams next time i go flounder fishing. :)

[tr0mpwned]

@MEXICAN120390 i caught 2 good size flounders of the oceanside pier a couple days ago, i used anchovies and it worked like a charm, within an hour we caught the 2 flounders, one 23 inch and one 18 inch. great fish right there, i recommend if you go to a pier to use anchovies.

[lilcl98]

Someone told me that fish dont go for bait if they see a hook. Is that true i was told always too cover the whole part ...

[PBLero]

Daaamn. It sure is beautiful in Nova scotia!

[SketchFoxx]

Just wanted to say I just watched a related video to yours from SeaStrikerInc featuring a professional fisherman using some fancier rigs. I gotta say, your video was much more entertaining and real =)

[northernpike56]

@SketchFoxx....Thanks

[mrimmistaken]

@northernpike56 Great Video! I was wondering are you from Canada? To me it sounded like you have a canadian accent. Video helped alot.

[enVmeACCORDngly]

[chios1958]

[dantheman9360]

Dude your awesome!

[mtndewgecko177]

[acgrs8]

you cant eat those you can get fined they need to be at least 21 inch

[xxJayxBoyx14]

@acgrs8 Thats the NY limit for Fluke (summer flounder)...compleley different species and area

[acgrs8]

@xxJayxBoyx14 oh... the rule out here is so stupid we catch so many 16s and 17s when we catch a 21 were like amazed lol

[ssakhi10]

Thanks for tips.

[5TEVi3]

Where I live here in tidewater VA. you can only take 2 and they have to be at least 20'' long.

[TheAlecazam13]

@5TEVi3 no, now the reg is 17,5 not 20

[TheAlecazam13]

@5TEVi3 no, now the reg is 17,5 not 20 good luck this season!

[nobama777]

@5TEVi3 the limit for Tidewater VA is 4 per day 17.5 inches

[NCAAaddict]

@keshcgy you probably caught gulf flounder more local species still an uncommon catch and a nice one for Venezuela!

[NCAAaddict]

Flounder fishing in LI NY starts April 1st now, they are know where near as plentiful as they used to be a few years ago; I remember going out to moriches and limiting out on 3 lb fish each day with my brother and grandfather, now a days your considered lucky if you limit out by yourself and its only 2 fish a day now. Just goes to show what happens when people go out and ignore the regs and take all they can.

[NandMscape]

Were did ya fish for dat

[skippyriddle]

Wow! Thanks man!

[MrGratz123xD]

can we eat that ?? 

[minikoen]

Ooh man, how did you catch so much at one try at the end of the vid?

[Retro8bit]

I wish there was a place near where I live, that had Flounder.

[varun009]

im gonna go fishing for an alligator gar =)

[Teeklip]

@varun009 haha, good luck :L

[flameboy1236]

Fish are friends, not food

[MrTransformerbot]

go fishing man ..... nvr knew you can find clams that easily

[infinithope]

Ohhh man i cant get 1 yet ..

[ANABeachGirl]

good fishing i am a girl not evan a teen and caught a big flounder we ate it it was good i caught it on shrimp

[ScottieWallace]

i catch them with my feet then grab them from under my sole

its actually more fun, and i cant fnd 1 youtube vid of anyone doing it, maybe its just the isle of Lewis gere in Scotland that people do it.

[ScottieWallace]

@ScottieWallace its known as Flounder tramping, and a lot easier than it sounds, people used to spear them underfoot, but grabbing them is better, like your vid though. just google it if youre in disbelief.

[DJHarielXavier]

I really enjoyed watching your video man. Keep up the good work.

[MrPianoManMattYoung]

Awesome! I love flounder fishing. I do it in Georgia every year!

[zangytangy434]

Nice good job

[soldierboy757]

you are awesome!

[KeshCGY]

What a great video, simple, complete and effective! I caught flounder in random occasions off the coast of Lecheria (Anzoategui, Venezuela) many years ago. I didn't know any technique and always wanted to catch more...now you gave me some, thanks! (will have to wait to try though, as I am not in those waters anymore!). Thanks for sharing!

[Boonicat71]

Very well done video my man! Id like to see what else you guys catch on that side of the pond!

[Drfisher11]

Hey can I easily catch fluke/flounder from a sand bar in Connecticut?? Or is fishing from a sand bar not good for catching fish?? Please reply anyone

[MyREDTAIL]

@Drfisher11 I miss the salt water, fluke, Flounder & Black fish fishing from when I lived in NYC Living in the country there is only Trout & Bass fishing no salt water,. to fish at..

[MyREDTAIL]

@MyREDTAIL  Flounder fishing in LI NY opens around ST. Patrick day in march.

[richbd359]

Lucky you

[TheATCchamp]

im from yarmouth we used to catch those one of the best tasting fish ever

[xsniperml1]

thanks man i bet 30 million people didnt know that you can get live clams under the sand you just saved a life

[dkingjimmy]

hey that was great.. good fishing for flounder.. and also.. that is a fat burning food..

[MrEarthmon]

Good fisherman....Respect!

[lewandlo]

Great stuff man... thanks for the fun video.

[ncbookz]

A fish in one hand, the rod and real in another, and the camera being held also! now thats talent. Not to mention catching the limit so easily.

[USCSoundCheck]

No es extraño que el pescado sea una parte importante en la dieta de las islas caribeñas. El pescado servido con moro de gandules con coco es un plato típico de Samaná, en República Dominicana. El chillo, un tipo de pescado frito o al horno servido generalmente con una salsa llamada mojo, es un plato típico de Puerto Rico. El ceviche es otro plato popular, hecho a base de pescado crudo en un adobo de limón, cebolla picada, sal y ají.

[pelletgun12]

awsome video it was very instructional

[rampoo56]

I just got bored so I typed in flounder. :D

[halibutboy98]

Also do you use baitcasters, like for bass and halibut?

[halibutboy98]

Hi, have you ever used live bait like sardines, and anchovies for flounder and halibut?

[t4z3rz]

My very first Flounder I caught was a 15 LB Summer Flounder in Florida. Was about to keep it until the line broke from the stringger...

[anauburnfan]

flounders are tasty

[heresmypal]

Looks like a lovely place - I did some deep sea fishing recently and it wa sgreat, but I'll put NS on my list!

Happy fishing!

[techn0mixer]

wow dang i wished i lived near the ocean front but i live near a smelly ass brown river

[stkpivotX]

i caught one a pretty good sized one down here in Florida on a shiner i guess it died and went to the bottom

[biggray94]

You made a great video

[kmlaulia]

You are so skilful in setting the bait and the method is always successful for bottom fishing. Hand-lining is also a good way to catch flounder.

[YellowMango100]

what was the size limit back then now its 18 in

[falatoronto]

great video, I haven't seen them caught that way before. am more used to spearing flounder in shallow water. but your rig worked perfectly.

[aricaric18]

ever since i moved from texas i cant catch them im so sad these are fun to catch and clean

[dillin965]

this is pretty cool we have a place where we fish right in our back yard but we can never catch flounder! We catch porgies,crabs,lobster,stripers­,black fish, but never flounder! so one day my friend comes over to fish and he knows nothing about it and catches a flounder! He only fished one other time in his life!! ive been fishing for 7 years and never caught one we even go to a jettie and try but nothing!! could u plz help!!

[Fishsk872]

Nice fish!!! Those guys are gooood eatin.

[KnifeCrazzzzy]

Love the vid! I know how you feel about the rod man i have one thats getting pretty short to haha!

[gaarahellya123]

wats the difference between flounder fluke and halibut? there all flat

[Gabby4you]

huh

[GreenTea4101]

wow those are alot diffrent then the ones we catch over here on the east coast..."summer flounder" these are alot smaller and have smaller mouths it looks like with no teeth... the ones we catch are alot bigger and they have big mouths with big sharp teeth...just to give u an idea of how big they are... the size limit on keeping them is 19 inches per fish... n wen u catch them, keepers will range some between like 19- 30 inches long

[acorncomplex]

what a slab! 5:47

never caught one that big at Pontchartrain, but I think we have a different species down here :)

[blowgunking1994]

@northernpike56 wow, how do you fillet a fish like that, do you get 2 fillets, or just one?

[fireguy1888]

nice vid

[taipan342]

great fishing video I really enjoyed this...thanks for posting!

[ChowZeb]

is this fresh water fishing?

[funnyandolimar12345]

@northernpike56 is there any household foods that i could use for chum for fluke?goin fishing soon but clams are scarse at the beach!!!!

[Dominator2401]

that would be funny at 6:20 he caught them all at once =)

[jhgannon1]

Where in NS were you fishing? Great video.

[Migx112]

Hey northernpike56 do you think there flounders in Puerto Rico? cause im from puerto rico and watching you fish this babys look easy by the way they really bite pretty fast please answer

[ixkey]

Awesome video

[mcneezey]

i live in massachusetts, and I seem to catch more skates than flounder. any tips to avoid the skates? They just get annoying..

[guapman11]

@mcneezey skates will take a lot of the same bait since they like the same spots, bottom, depends on what your spot is like, try to get a feel for when the skate are least active while the flounder are most active, not much of a fisherman myself but it something that i used and works, later dood

[Dataznboitom]

what other bait is good for flounder?

[patrickag1000]

Great viedo

[rcstrenght]

About how many fishes did you caught and about how much time did you spend on the boat.

[poetfishermanak]

[MyBass55]

[DavidJeeminChang]

Thank you for taking the time to make this video because I fish for bluefish but recently started liking catching fluke and flounder so anyway very informative, never knew clams were so good I always used finger mullet.

[jiangson]

that clam looks tasty. 

[jackpye]

good job good vid

[nhangler]

Nice video. Very informative in a simple yet direct way.

[mustafafaiez]

I'm a newbie and I learnt sooo much just from this clip than I have from spending hours on the internet. Thank YOU!!!!

[DjamaLo]

Thanks for the tip and i'll give it go !! thanks for sharing thot .

[smally804]

Super video! I live in the mountains of NC and I love to get out to the outer banks of NC (north carolina) when I can but it's a 9 hour drive so I only make it once or twice a year. I've caught a few flounder in the surf & they are my favorite as far as eating goes for the surf fish. I really liked that you showed how to dig the clam & was wondering if you would consider doing another video just about finding & digging the clams. More specifically how to spot the holes & places to dig.Super Vid
