Glad the flounder are there! That's one of my favorite areas to catch em. Headed down there for a week starting August 15th! Maybe we'll see ya around!
Pretty sure I saw you fishing in Kure Beach yesterday. I’m a lifeguard and recognized the new kayak and white cooler bag. After you moved along some big schools of bait moved in and I saw a good bit of fish blowing up on the schools. Looked like some decent size kings.
I have been using the pink Vudu Shrimps for steelhead fishing in Lake Erie and its tributaries with good success... The great lakes do have fresh water shrimp in them so I thought, why not?
Hey Elias I landed a couple nice hybrid bass at my local lake this past weekend using the mini mac. Bottom bouncing in the main river channel and using pro cure gizzard shad. The biggest was 11 lbs!! I guess they'll catch more than flatties! Great video man wish I was back down there and not 200 miles away from the salt
Elias, aren't you keeping those Flounder. Those are beautiful man. Got to be delicious... are they too bid,, is season closed there? Just curious. I'd love to catch those.
You're not kidding it will be a good year for catching Flounder, based on what's been biting your hooks for quite a bit of time now (4 videos now, is it?). There are some around MA waters but because of the unreasonable numbers of Robins and Dogfish the food for them is limited and so are they (unfortunately). Promise kept.
@@okimitchell1043 They are good, just takes a large amount of work to get to the edible portions. I would love to be able to catch near any other fish as well though!
Dude you video quality is superior. Did you get a new camera/go pro recently? Also I think it is stacked because they are out of season and not being yanked out of the ocean at insane rates but those were really nice fish regardless
Love the vudu shrimp when there is more current. I like the chasebait prawn, but they aren't made for current. What was that wake bait you used? I have a few live target, but haven't had much luck with them.
When flounder season opens and you start keeping them do you have a vacuum sealer keep your fish a lot fresher in the freezer and you can write the dates on them
Elias, looks like a nice Kayak. Wow the size of the flounder you been getting lately are huge. How stable is that platform? Did it beachlaunch well? Hows the drive system? I watch Natie up north and she switched from Hobie to lightning .your crushing them today! Stay safe from Pennsylvania. Prayers sent for Meg,Elias. God bless
Thomas Jarosz I haven’t used it out front yet, but the weight is far more manageable than a lot of the newer kayaks out there and that’s important for beach launching to me. I’ve been using the Hobie drive for a higher speed. Cruises same as outback speed so no complaints out of me
How does the Lightning compare to the Old Town (especially in the ocean)? Please let me know after you bring it out there as I can wait for an honest assessment. How does the Lightning drive compare to the Old Town drive? Speed wise, quality wise. Launching and landing in the surf comparison. Thank you. Nice video content! Gorgeous flounders. I thought you would've dropped a jig right down the starboard side seeing that boil right next to you. Thanks for the video. Tight lines.
I know fisherman rarely reveal their location but are you close to Manteo/Wanchese? Looks like some of the stuff off the little bridge. Just curious,enjoyed it!
Elias, are you having any water build up issues with the Strike? Specifically from around the drive hold. Curious to see after you take it out in the ocean. What are your thoughts?
Alright Elias I got the same rig. I just got two of them and wanted to know how they stacked up to a Outback. They are my first and I got me one and my Son one. Tight lines Brother
Odd question but would schoolie stripers in Maine go for shrimp if I “chunked” them? What about spending the extra money and “chunking” lobster for stripers in Maine?
Am I the only one on here who believes that summer flounder and southern flounder are the exact same fish but they just have different markings due to the area that they live in? And that over time, (genetically) the fish from both areas just happened to have more or less spots due to the area that they're in?
Fluke Killer not a whole lot behavior wise. Southern flounder do not have oscillated spots like fluke do. Southern flounder are also way more tolerant of freshwater.
EliasVFishing thanks. Your type of fishing is what i do along with some live bait. Your videos also make me want to get an outback. This might be what i have been looking for.
EliasVFishing The man speaks. That said, does the use on your previous Hobies concern you? Or do you think your brand of abuse is unique and not a fault in design/manufacturing?
Looks like Shrimp, moves like Shrimp, smells like Shrimp ... it might as well be Shrimp, ... and catch fish. ( Don't jinx yourself saying "too easy this year". The sea nymphs might take offense. )
Hey man I’m a huge fan of your videos, and they’ve inspired me to make my own channel. As a fan of making videos and fishing, I’m really enjoying it. I’m not gonna ask you to watch or sub or anything, but I’m wondering if you have any tips to grow your channel, or how you got started and such. Thanks, tight lines
hey i really would like to watch your videos, but i get motion sickness just watching because your camera is on your head and when we're fishing our heads are not in one place and well yours is no different, could you change the position of your camera from your head, maybe your chest?

I can’t help but chuckle you know as soon as season opens the flounder bite is gonna suck!! 😳 just givin ya grief ! Great vid as always sir!
That’s like a tidal weir. I always loved fishing the weirs, just a little oxygen gets everything going !
Glad the flounder are there! That's one of my favorite areas to catch em. Headed down there for a week starting August 15th! Maybe we'll see ya around!
Boy don’t you hope they hang around there that size until season opens? Those were really nice. I’ve been checking out one of those kayaks myself
You're "Lightning" them up. Awesome vid.
Another great video and I can not wait until Flounder season opens!
Pretty sure I saw you fishing in Kure Beach yesterday. I’m a lifeguard and recognized the new kayak and white cooler bag. After you moved along some big schools of bait moved in and I saw a good bit of fish blowing up on the schools. Looked like some decent size kings.
My girlfriend listening to the video: “is that Ray Romano??”
I've always thought that too
Berkeley PowerBait shrimp in Coastal Candy...that’s my go to down here in LA.
Great.. fellas.
Great show them flounder where stonkers great day out
I have been using the pink Vudu Shrimps for steelhead fishing in Lake Erie and its tributaries with good success... The great lakes do have fresh water shrimp in them so I thought, why not?
Those are some nice flatties💪🎣
Hey Elias I landed a couple nice hybrid bass at my local lake this past weekend using the mini mac. Bottom bouncing in the main river channel and using pro cure gizzard shad. The biggest was 11 lbs!! I guess they'll catch more than flatties! Great video man wish I was back down there and not 200 miles away from the salt
I've been catching walleye and drum using the same technique in local rivers. Versatile lure for sure
If i had one lure that i was limited to for the rest of my life it would be the vodo shrimp i absolutely love them
did you keep any fish for the freezer?!? wow.....what a trip!
Wont be fishing down this way this week, gonna be doing alot of surf fishing up in the outer banks hope to get some surf donkeys on the line.
Great video as always Elias! Beautiful Flounder!
How'd the kayak feel after the test?
I've been on the fence about ordering one of these kayaks. They are very affordable
WVCUR77 and upgradable if you want to get the Hobie drive.
I time my work ending day with your new posting video... seemed like it’s working most of the times.
you really are the flounder pounder
seems that the fluke know when the season is over and they are free to bite at anything ;)
Another fun video. This must be one of your favorite spots.
Tom Mendola I like big structure
@@EliasVFishing These flounder are bigger and better than what I used to catch in the Long Island Sound as a kid.
That's a good spot for sheepshead you can also catch ribbon fish there.
A little spooky when you turned, there was a splash at the surface. Something was watching you.
Nice boat man. Go flunking!!
Hope you keep the Lightning. I have the same. They are spreading like wildfire! Jeff and Kristi Anderson got me onto them.
Love You’re New Kayak ! I Would Like To Get One
Nice video! Man that water looks stained big time. Do you have to adjust your technique any from fishing clear water?
Sweet new kayak! 🤙enjoy brother !
Elias, aren't you keeping those Flounder. Those are beautiful man. Got to be delicious... are they too bid,, is season closed there? Just curious. I'd love to catch those.
Hey Big E, I follow all your videos,but really enjoyed this one. Thanks for making me a better angler. Come on August 16th.
I like to throw that Yozuri twitchbait in gold up towards the banks in shallower water
Nice job on the flounder. I love targeting them. My best one to date is 5lbs I am looking for that door mat this year..
Whaaaat?! Nice boat. I wonder what that was too 🤔
You're not kidding it will be a good year for catching Flounder, based on what's been biting your hooks for quite a bit of time now (4 videos now, is it?).

Promise kept.
I like eating those bird 🐦 fish👍👌
@@okimitchell1043 They are good, just takes a large amount of work to get to the edible portions. I would love to be able to catch near any other fish as well though!
Anyone have any luck with the gulp alive shrimp in the Midwest? Bass fishing?
I like that moving water...a hot spot for feeding fish.
Was thinking the same thing!
Who makes the net you use?
when you fish the rocks at fort fisher do you fish the river side or the bay side
Dude you video quality is superior. Did you get a new camera/go pro recently? Also I think it is stacked because they are out of season and not being yanked out of the ocean at insane rates but those were really nice fish regardless
Here in Florida we don't have a season for flounder got 2 last week big as the cooler good eating stuffed them with fresh blue crab
Mississippi don't a flounder season year round baby..min 12 bag limit 10
You should do like a short video or include in your videos your presentation on those kind of plastic shrimp. Other than that very good video.
Hey Eli can I use a stripe bass lour to catch flounder via bottomfishing. I’m new to fishing and I want to pick up on it because your awesome videos
Evan C what type of lure? Bucktails will work.
Rich Dunn it looks something like a storm wildeye swim Shad
Love the vudu shrimp when there is more current. I like the chasebait prawn, but they aren't made for current. What was that wake bait you used? I have a few live target, but haven't had much luck with them.
looked like a 6th Sense wakebait
“Wonderrr what that was” haha.
When's your next video coming out? Montauk, the end!
Tight lines!
Eddie Keeler my next video will be out tomorrow morning at 11.
Eddie Keeler were you talking about my video or Elias?
When flounder season opens and you start keeping them do you have a vacuum sealer keep your fish a lot fresher in the freezer and you can write the dates on them
I wish flounder were freshwater fish 😂
Elias, looks like a nice Kayak. Wow the size of the flounder you been getting lately are huge. How stable is that platform? Did it beachlaunch well? Hows the drive system? I watch Natie up north and she switched from Hobie to lightning .your crushing them today! Stay safe from Pennsylvania. Prayers sent for Meg,Elias. God bless

Is the Hobie Mirage drive better than the Lightening drive ?
How important is it to have the ability to reverse on a kayak?
How does the Lightning compare to the Old Town (especially in the ocean)? Please let me know after you bring it out there as I can wait for an honest assessment. How does the Lightning drive compare to the Old Town drive? Speed wise, quality wise. Launching and landing in the surf comparison. Thank you.
Nice video content! Gorgeous flounders. I thought you would've dropped a jig right down the starboard side seeing that boil right next to you. Thanks for the video.
Tight lines.
Eddie Keeler watch some of Robert Fields videos. He helped in the design and has a couple in his Los Buzos Panama ocean fishing videos.
Hahaha.. mark that spot for flounder open season !
Bro great video.
Do you know what the huge white structures you fish for sheephead and black drum around are?
I know fisherman rarely reveal their location but are you close to Manteo/Wanchese? Looks like some of the stuff off the little bridge. Just curious,enjoyed it!
Hey brother I live close to Charlotte when you going to take me out so I cannot catch fish like that too LOL
Nice talking to you the other morning at the jetty......Have a few pic & videos of you, where can I send them.....
ICM
Flounder Pounder !!
This or the compass?
Hey Elias, who makes that weight bait?
Elias, are you having any water build up issues with the Strike? Specifically from around the drive hold.
Curious to see after you take it out in the ocean. What are your thoughts?
Yes, the hatch has water and the the drive area doesn't drain very efficiently. We'll see what the other developments are on it.
Alright Elias I got the same rig. I just got two of them and wanted to know how they stacked up to a Outback. They are my first and I got me one and my Son one. Tight lines Brother
do you launch from the ramp or do you drive the beach? You do some work on the fish!!!! you definitely put your time in . Awesome video!!!
Both!
@@EliasVFishing also 1 other question, what cooler bag do you use for your catch?
Odd question but would schoolie stripers in Maine go for shrimp if I “chunked” them? What about spending the extra money and “chunking” lobster for stripers in Maine?
Superb...
Can you do a video of the rods your using curious wanna give them a try down here in Jacksonville FL for sheephead and flounder
I recently subbed and I’m happy that I did
Elias do you know any good places to fish in nc
Man, what city are you fishing?
Oh wow the new hobie drive fits?
Yup even the guy that helped develop this kayak uses a Hobie drive on his too lol. They come with the V1 Mirage drive.
"I suck at this type of fishing" - @eliasvfishing as he nets a nice red. Geeeeeeeeeez
Man there’s a shortage down here in sc keep releasing
Hey man sell me one of yours kayaks!!.. I love yours videos!.
Does this drive have a reverse?
Are you done with Hobie?
Where in North Carolina are you fishing? Kind of looks like Carolina Beach area
This is behind Ft Fisher and Bald Head
Am I the only one on here who believes that summer flounder and southern flounder are the exact same fish but they just have different markings due to the area that they live in? And that over time, (genetically) the fish from both areas just happened to have more or less spots due to the area that they're in?
What’s the difference between southern flounder and fluke
Fluke Killer not a whole lot behavior wise. Southern flounder do not have oscillated spots like fluke do. Southern flounder are also way more tolerant of freshwater.
I always thaught they were the same thing just in different area of the us 😆✌️
man you need to chuck a go pro down there
Elios0000 clarity isn’t good enough for that
@@EliasVFishing that sucks
I throw a cast net from time to time how stable are these Lightning’s? Mine currently is a lot shorter so i am fairly sure it would work.
I’m able to stand on it no issues
EliasVFishing thanks. Your type of fishing is what i do along with some live bait. Your videos also make me want to get an outback. This might be what i have been looking for.
What is your GoPro/mic setup?
Where are you fishing at?
Are you ever going back up north?
What state do you mostly fish?
Can some plz tell me where this rock jetty is in eastern Nc!? I can’t find it in the damn maps!...
Fort fisher
Chances lightning sponsors you eventually? Unlike hobie....
Sponsorship doesn’t concern me. Having a fishing platform I’m comfortable and confident in it’s reliability is my priority.
EliasVFishing The man speaks. That said, does the use on your previous Hobies concern you? Or do you think your brand of abuse is unique and not a fault in design/manufacturing?
Did u move to florida? Thought u lived in NY looks like all ur videos have been florida lately
He moved to North Carolina (where this video was shot) a couple/few years ago.
But flounder are an endangered species in NC!.... Only NC... Not Virginia or SC 😂
Looks like Shrimp, moves like Shrimp, smells like Shrimp ... it might as well be Shrimp, ... and catch fish. ( Don't jinx yourself saying "too easy this year". The sea nymphs might take offense. )
Yeah August 16th I’ll get the big donut I bet!
You don't eat flounder?
Hey man I’m a huge fan of your videos, and they’ve inspired me to make my own channel. As a fan of making videos and fishing, I’m really enjoying it. I’m not gonna ask you to watch or sub or anything, but I’m wondering if you have any tips to grow your channel, or how you got started and such. Thanks, tight lines
Can you stand on that kayak.
I can
hey i really would like to watch your videos, but i get motion sickness just watching because your camera is on your head and when we're fishing our heads are not in one place and well yours is no different, could you change the position of your camera from your head, maybe your chest?
Can't stand the head-mounted camera
Do you like those gloves? If yes, can you provide a link?
