lol on the ending music background to the encouraging others to be courteous to each other on the water. I agree! However, also, that background music when you are addressing a subject like that also reminds me of how a lot of those 90’s sitcoms endings when they have their “lesson time” segment. lol like Full House or Step by Step or Family Matters
🤣🤣🤣 that's why I did it! I would have got away with it if it wasn't for those pesky kids 🤣🤣🤙🏼
Been flounder fishing GB since the early 80’s I 100% agree with this video
Thanks I appreciate that. I'm a student of the game, still learning...I really enjoy sharing some knowledge as I learn 🤙🏼
Good reminder of being kind to others
Thanks and Thanks for checking out the video 🤙🏻
Just wanted to share a Gulp hack I accidentally discovered a few years back. Store your Gulp in the refrigerator. The material will harden a bit and not tear as easily. It's not an over night process but you will see a difference the longer you store it in the fridge 😉
Really? Does it soften up when it warms up?
I can't say for sure because I have bought a great deal on clearance at Academy that I've lost track between the old and new formula.
But over time both will harden.
Another great video I have the best luck with the git r done rig and also swapping a live mullet or shrimp instead of the gulp if the gulp isn’t getting the reaction and I’ve landed two over 20” that way! I watch all your flounder videos dude you’re a guru.
Lol thanks, I just flounder fishing. I try to learn as much as I can about them & help share what I find that works. Yea absolutely, live mullet will crush it over gulp most of the time. Most slow days on the water when you see other boats having better luck than you it's because they're using live bait. We're planning on fishing with live soon & going over some tips for using live mullet for flounder. Thanks again 🤙🏼
Great info. Really appreciate you sharing the knowledge!
My pleasure!
Great job. Very clear and helpful, thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
GREAT VIDEO & TIPS...That's the part I Love the most... Putting in the work & being on the water. STAY COOL BRO... TIGHT LINES!!!!!
Thanks brother! I know you'll be out there soon!
Good stuff. Thank you for the info.
My pleasure, thanks for checking it out!
That's great thanks Ruben is good information and tips
Martin
Glad it was helpful!
Great video! Is there a weight to the chatter weight or is it just one size.
They have several different sizes but I'm not sure about the weight.
Thank you for vid. I have two questions. First off when I catch flounder most of the time the bite feels like you have hooked a grocery bag, sort of a slow dragging sensation. I have never waited more than 2 seconds to set the hook and have not had issues with lost fish. So my question is about the “get er done” rig. Does the bite feel different than when fishing a single jig head?
Second question is do you have videos of where are the best places to locate flounder in the summer months?
I live near Trinity bay complex.
Thanks.
I don't really give out locations and not especially for species because all kinds of fish move in & around different spots. During the flounder run its much easier to locate flounder because they're moving. Just like any fish migrating, the feed so aggressively they give up their locations. Right now, I would target them around any grassline or shallow reef early in the morning & if you can find a drop off nearby, target the ledge of the drop off as the day starts warming up. Same thing if you had an outgoing tide. I think flounder will feel that pull as the tide falls & they will move a little deeper. The bite feels the same. Sometimes, you might feel the thump, but mostly, your rod tip will load up & get heavy. Hope that helps, have a good one & tight lines
We use fishbites scented lures here on the gulf coast Alabama
Fish bites are legit. I've caught any & everything with them lol
Very well done! Merry Christmas!!!
Thank you I appreciate that, Merry Christmas to you & yours too 🤙🏼
Great video man!
Thank you, I sat there & talked for 45 minutes straight I had to cut a lot out 🤣🤙🏼
Is the git er done rig good in the surf as well?
I wouldn't see why not. Flounder feed the same everywhere. We've used it offshore for Red Snapper too lol
Awesome video, thanks man
Glad you liked it!
Great words!
Thanks, appreciate it.
Will definitely put your tips to use. Thanks for sharing 👍
Awesome! Good luck and tight lines 🤙🏼
You do a great job
Thanks appreciate it
My son and I are heading to Galveston to do some flounder gigging and wanted to see if you know of any good spots.
No sorry, I've never flounder gigged before. I've been asked to go out a few times to gig but never made it happen. Good luck & tight lines 🤙🏼
Can I mix Gulp shrimp juices with the Mullet ones?
Absolutely, I do it all the time. The only issue is with bright colors like hot pink mixing with white.
Great report thank you
No problem, thanks for stopping by 🤙🏼
Excellent video. Thanks brother 👍
Thank you I appreciate that, I feel like I'm terrible sitting & talking to the camera my A.D.D. goes crazy & my thoughts are jumping everywhere 🤣 but thanks for watching 🤙🏼
Great information 👍
Thanks! 🤙🏼
Nice video Ruben, your way of Flounder fishing is a BEAST my brother.. one question though what pound Fluorocarbon do you prefer
Thanks! I use 30-40 lb leader line
@@TexasAllWaterFishingand for your braided main line?
@@remember_Pat_Tillman I'll use 25-30 lb braided line
Great job great information new to saltwater
Thanks, I glad you enjoyed the video 🤙🏻
Thoughts on flounder fishing w a Carolina rig? Great vid man, seriously amazing.
Thanks I appreciate that. There's nothing wrong with a Carolina rig, I've caught a lot of flounder with them using live mullet but don't use wire. Fish can see wire very easily. I would tie my own though or use the geter Dunn Rig (drop shot rig) instead, it's cheaper than buying the Carolina rigs in the stores
Bravo ! Well said my friend. Fish On...
Thank you very much, just trying to help where I can 🤙🏼
Good information thanks
No problem, thanks for watching 🤙🏼
A very good talk. Thanks!
Thanks, and thanks for watching 🤙🏼
What is the warmest water temperature that you catch flounder in?
Now, some nice flounder are caught all year long. Water temps in the 90's, flounder are very tough fish, and it doesn't seem like a lot bother them. They're always feeding
Nice video I hit the south jetty yesterday caught my first bull red at 39 inches and also a few bonus flounder. I don’t think they are that thick in there yet
Awesome red! I bet that was fun to bring in. I'm not sure what's going on with the sout jetty this year. I've fished it several times & caught little if any flounder.
What size main line and leader line are you using? Thanks
I use recommend Tight Line Braid, it's the best Line I've used so far. I like 30lb Braid but leader line depends on what I'm fishing for, where I'm fishing and water clarity. If it's very clean water I'll fish with 20lb, and I can use up to 40lb fluorocarbon leader line. Specs have very good eye sight so if I'm using 30lb & fishing is slow & I'm targeting Specs I'll switch to 20lb. Fishing for flounder I can use up to 40lb, because I'll be fishing around structure & the 40lb doesn't seem to effect them
“That time of the season”… which months are best? Which months are worst l?
Fall into winter they run offshore in big numbers and feed very aggressively. They will come back through in the spring but the numbers aren't as big but you'll still catch a few. Late Oct-Mid Dec best months, and March-May it's better but more hit and miss. Throughout the year you can find them around any structure so I'm always fishing for flounder. I won't catch huge numbers but most trips I'll catch one or two.
Right on
Thanks 🤙🏼
recommend single jig vs tandem jigs
Tandem always over single you offer the fish more to bite. It really doubles your odds BUT doubles your chances of getting hung up. So, a lot of times I'll toss a single to keep from having to re-tie.
what is the the drop to sinker ???
I'm not sure? Maybe I misspoke lol
Where did you get that gulp case ?
These cases are so legit. I've been using them for around 6 months now and have never leaked. I have a 6 inch for my whites only and 12 inch for mixed colors. Make sure you buy extra gulp juice, it helps keeps them fresh.

Thanks so much! Gulp is great but very frustrating keeping them sealed. Can't wait to try my freshly tied Get ur done's. I fish Long Island waters and I am always looking for an edge. Tight lines!
That's a killer rig, I've caught tons of flounder with it. I fish fast by nature & this rig is perfect for that style. You won't regret those storage bins, cheap & best I ever used for gulp🤙🏼
@@TexasAllWaterFishing Hey Rubin, I have a stupid question about the get ur done. Have you guys ever tied a double loop on the sinker end for changing weights? Or is there a reason you don't? I can't wait to try these puppies out! I have a trip next weekend 😁
The reason we do a simple over hand knot is so that if the sinker gets stuck it will come off very easy. And all you lose if the weight & not the whole rig
Nice! I could have used this before my trip to Seawolf park lol
🤣 Come back! 🤣🤙🏼
i have been trying to find half ounce, three quarter, and whole ounce jigheads because I am mostly just curious how it would feel to throw them with a 5” plastic lure and my rod is rate 3/8-1oz medium heavy. Haha but Academy does not sell them or at least the Academy where I am at does not. And makes sense because most fishermen out in my area of Houston are regular inshore anglers like me and/or Texas All Water
Cody fishing with a 1oz jig head a lot during the flounder run. I've tried it a few times but just seems very heavy lol
Ebay or Amazon
That use to b bad wading Sea Wolf park u catch a nice one,here they come cut in front of u, Ferry Landing b fighting out there
Lol it can be rough out there
Do tips how to catch reds or are thru just luck to catch ?
Thanks for watching! Here's a link I did on reds 🤙🏼
th-cam.com/video/rpQsTHwb0d8/w-d-xo.html
Trying to go grab me some flounder on the way home for dinner lol Portland tx
Awesome! I hope you got on them 🤙🏻
Good tips - tho I do think you should help the newcommers to give them some help on spots. YES I DO totally understand some dont like telling spots but nobody helped me when I moved here so now I help everyone. Its 1am - just off to hit the South Jetty 1st but on the boat so can nip around to chase them. Had a luvly 23" monday on a pink Pomp jig and chartreuse and white skirt. But of course got Gulp on board. Best of luck to t'all. And dont take what you wont eat fresh.
Thank you I appreciate that, it's a fine line giving spots. I have ppl that are thankful & others that get mad. I have done a handful of spot giving videos but if I'm on a boat then it's not my location to give. The best advice I can give is time on the water, use Google Maps, and if you can afford it pay for a guided trip. Cpt Cody who I go out with a lot is a guide at Sea Star Base Galveston (nonprofit) and I would never give a location he takes me to no matter how popular it is. I often fish out of a kayak and again I have friends that tournament fish a lot of same waters I kayak, so again it's very difficult to just give up locations. I have a lot to consider & if you start to be known as someone who "burns" spots that can also effect sponsorship & pro staff opprintuinty because they often ask their other pro staff members about your character. So yes, I just try to stay out of it & keep a tight lip. Personally I would share everywhere I fish but I have to consider all sides. Good luck to you, I hope you get on them today 💯🤙🏼
@@TexasAllWaterFishing Ah I get your point about sponsorship. cant beat just going to spots and trying what the locals do. Tho I did hire a charter the 1st time I went out as I knew nothing at all about the area. It was a great help as we hit 6 or 7 spots I still visit.
OH And Gulp hammered them for me and wife at south jetty this morning on me boat. Was on the water at 3 and home at 10 and trout for lunch with flounder for dinner! Have fun guy.
I also use gulp lures and fan cast to cover a lot of ground and catch flounder while everyone around catches nothing.
Yes sir! That right there will 100% get you some flatties 🤙🏼
Thanks for all the information bro!, Love your videos , again thanks for all the pro,s, again where did you get those leak proof containers for the gulps?, please respond.
Thanks for watching, I bought them at Home Depot but you can find them at any hardware store or on-line. They're Husky Waterproof Bins
11:30, put it on my tool account 😂
It's maxed out lol
Thank you for your great advice! But one thing, when you show the item please keep it stable and don't shake it because I can't capture your screen clearly.
Lol right on, what item are you looking at? Maybe I can reply to you with a link so you can check it out online
@@TexasAllWaterFishing It was a white jig head rig, but maybe I think I can buy it at Academy. Thanks in advance!
Shit you fish Galveston too yall fish at Martin fuel docking south slip front where tugs dock at on outside there is a hole they like to chill at
Yes sir, I've pulled a few out of that hole. I love flounder fishing; I can't wait for them to start running again lol.
First...
🤣 indeed 🔥🔥🤙🏼
"Ladder" will be packed tomorrow
Oh I bet, it's going to be crazy on the water tomorrow
I cannot comprehend someone being so rude, selfish, and unsportsmanlike, as to crowd you in a spot you are fishing. That's just unacceptable. Unfortunately, in today's world, verbal altercations can lead to violence with some people. I mean it's just fishing! There's absolutely no need or call for such behavior. It's a sad statement on today's uncivil society.
It's really sad that people behave like that. We'll get up at 2am to at some spots when the sun comes up & then you have ppl that show up hours later & try to bully you. It's ridiculous people are on a whole other level these days
How does “climate change” only affect the Texas flounder limits and not the rest of the gulf coast? Why isn’t this universal amongst the gulf states? I can’t speak for the rest of Texas but the upper gulf coast has had awesome recreational catches of flounder the last few years. Don’t see any need in this closure for November.
I'm really not sure, the only thing I can think of is the amount of fishing pressure we put on the flounder around Houston/ Galveston during the run. Houston's popular is 2.3 million (not that everyone fished) and Louisiana the whole state is 4.67 million. A lot more people fishing the run here in Texas vs any other state around the gulf. That's really the only reason I can think of
@@TexasAllWaterFishing Thats not the reason the TPWD gave for the closure tho. gulf waters changed by 1 degree hotter is their reasoning due to "climate change". because flounder wont spawn in the hotter temps. but shouldn't this affect all gulf flounder? I'm sure "climate change is not state specific The open session for arguments got cancelled due to covid protocols. we will never get November back. love your channel by the way. just tired of the recreational angler getting the restrictions while the commercial "for profits" get free reign. as usual.
@@magad419 I interviewed 2 Texas Parks and Wildlife Biologist I uploaded a video of that interview if you're interested in watching it. It's pretty interesting, but I was giving you my take on it. Nothing is itched in stone from what I was told this closure was the easiest way to help the fishery. Thanks for watching the channel I appreciate it 🤙🏼
Great video man!
Appreciate it!
