Today $$ are insane but years ago I used to go to a fish market and buy a bunch of steamers and or softshells and shuck them myself for hook baits(mussels) too. If you could get ahold of a fresh skimmer or two that would be just as good. Early in the season I would often get a couple good ones on clams.
On Long Island we painted sinkers yellow. Seems to be color for winter flounder. That’s why some hooks have yellow beads & or yellow grubs. I remember some would dye clams red. Her it’s 2 fish 12”. I hope to get out in April for them.
Yeah. I haven't seen a black back flounder in Long Island Sound since.... 1980 something. They are basically extinct. The water is too warm now for them. Sad.
You know I really just think any color that stands out from its surroundings would probably work. Red, green, yellows. Most winter flounder rigs have yellow beads or grubs on them so most of the fish caught will be on yellow.
Same in NJ they netted them to extinction .... They used to set huge nets in our bays late Sept. when the females are loaded with eggs n also trap seals but their blaming the Hook n Line Guys.... Our waters are plenty cold enough.... Just look at Hull, Quincy Ma. which is colder than NJ, NY and it's just a fraction of what it was years ago.... be well.
Hi, Can you point me in the right direction for where I can go for winter flounder with my son? We are also going to be kayaking and driving up from NY. Thanks in advance.
@@davedeefishing no ha he was just big in size. My 2nd time out fishing. Caught a bunch of slightly undersized black fish . Caught a bunch of sea robins and pogies about 30 or so in total with a friend of mine completely new to the salt water fishing
Majority of the baitshops in my area list / advertise the sandworms as "seaworms" in their shops. For simplicities sake, for those possibly new people that are walking into a baitshop in my area I thought Id call them sea worms so a customer could walk into a shop, immediatly see it listed on the dry erase board and just ask for it. I know that they are sand worms and I have even mentioned it. In the summer, I have found more kids and adults sitting at the cash register that actually do not know all the nuances, proper language/verbage of fishing, or the actual propper names of bait and tackle. They simply say or will ask a customer ocean (you know.. the sea) or freshwater worms. I joke not and I wish it wasnt the case. I dont make it a point to make comments in exclamation to correct them. I just buy what I need to support my local tackle shop and leave. Baitshop owners deserve a break and they sometimes just need a body behind the money machine somedays. Thanks for reminding me it's a sandworm though.
I would watch you again but you can't even say what your using for bait right THEY ARE SAND WORMS I don't know why but that drives me absolutely crazy.
Bait shops call them seaworms so I think Dave is just trying to keep it simple. In the vernacular seaworms and sandworms are the same around these parts.
@@davedeefishing don't get me wrong we get them big even from shore. I fish a kayak for them and have plenty fish to 3 pounds but they are extremely abundant here and the state still keeps it at 2 fish. Crazy
Great view
Nice job there ! Enjoyed the video.
Nice catch! Just subscribed!

Think I could get any this weekend or is it too early?
Little too early I think. You can look up ocean Temps online. Once the water is 50 degrees f for a few days it will be worth a shot.
Some good eating!
Could you kindly explain to me how you do your Hookset do you yank it up or do you gradually you know pull it up to set the hook?
What temp water can u catch them till
They are still biting in 20-30ft of water with 65 degree water Temps. I think areas where the water is warmer than this the fish will go deeper
@davedeefishing thanks man goin tomorrow
Could you show us how you filet and prepare them?
I will when I go out for them next time!

Peddocks Island is good and close to shore near nut Island in 10-20 ft of water
Were you using blood worm or sandworm? Nice catch!
sandworms and strips of surf clam
Can you please give us the Scientific names of the fish you catch? Thank you!
Nice in mass???
Yes sir!
Where is this place?
Hey Dave,nice video man.

It's a SAND WORM get it right!!

Get a cooler or something for your fish. Catch flapping all over the boat in the sun is no good.
Was only out for 2 hours and it was like 50 degrees out with no sun. No problems. You should see what they do on commercial haddock boats lol

dang man, that's the second knuckle headed comment you made
8!? Here in jersey we can only keep 2!
yes sir we can keep 8. They have made a come back, but still not as good as the "good old days".
