Another awesome video! With this heat and strong winds I decided to target one of my flounder honey holes. I knew they would be hungry and was successful. I don't like to wait to set the hook because I hate to gut hook a dink fish so I set the hook as I feel the thump
@@MDLRFishing you are right, I've tried bigger lures and you do have to wait a bit for them to start eating... I've been have great luck with Outlaw Fishing Lures on hook ups targeting flounders
...Mark....thanks for the video....thoroughly enjoyed it....JMHO, with 25 years experience fishing for flounder on the Texas and Louisiana coast, you don't need to wait more than 5 seconds after the "thump" to set the hook (on your big girl, you didn't wait at all)....when you wait more than 5 seconds, you take the chance that the fish is gonna swallow the bait, and if it is undersized, well, it's gonna die when released...especially trout.....again, JMHO... 🙂
I agree, the lure that the big one hit was tiny in comparison to the first flounder. My decision to wait depends on the size of lure i'm using. Thanks for looking out! I appreciate the awareness for gut hooking our precious resources.
Started pretty hard to catch those fish. Wow what a trun of event, what a great catch that flounder was... awesome!! Loved the video shows how hard it is to be a full time fisherman but what fun it can be to do something you love. Nice
It is almost time for the flounder run i have neve seen someone use weedless set up on flounder and i always set the hook as soon as i get a bit on lures
Thanks for the video upload. It has been a struggle for all of us. The heat has been so brutal. I uploaded a video that was a three day outing because the bite has been so tough. Glad you are hanging in there. And as always stay safe and Tight Lines. From one soldier to another.
What I do and not one to tell u ur doing it worng cuz ur a really good fisherman… but when they grab it I’ll let out slack for about two seconds and then get the tention back and pop it once or twice makes them think the minnow is trying to get away so they’ll really smack it then I set the hook. Good video sir
My dad and I were in Christmas a couple weeks ago and had a hard time getting the flounder on the hook. We tried waiting long after feeling bumps but still couldn’t get them on the hook. Almost like they were just holding the tail in their mouths.
I met you a few months ago at night at the jetty I was with my wife and my brother in law and u let us fish with you when you had ur lights up I had seen your videos before I just couldn’t remember what ur channel was and I just found ur channel again u gave me ur number let’s go fishing sometime fam ur a legend 💯
you give them a fake lure they want to take but it tastes like plastic and what would you think? if it's plastic - it has to have a lure sent on it you have to give them the whole package
@@MDLRFishing I’ve always used that when they short strike I don’t claim to be a pro or anything but it does work for me hope it works for you one day love your channel sir 😊
All those thumps you feel is the fish trying to disable the bait. He's not trying to swallow it. He only has the tail in his mouth. That's why your lure was cut in the middle. You have to downsize when there biting like that.
Beautiful Flounder, and another great video.
thanks!
As a Fatman stranded in New Mexico, I sure miss my flounder fishing! But thanks bro you feesh all my old holes brings back memories
Thanks for your amazing support!
Don't let the giggers see this 😂
Love your content man. Favorite thing to watch when I sit down to eat
Thanks Bro!
Beautiful doormat Mark - great job as always 🫡
Thanks brother 🤙

yeah I agree I'm not one to wait on hook set
My time for setting the hook depends on the size of lure i'm using. I also agree and don't like gut hooking the small ones.

Great video, Mark, that was some tough fishing, but you caught some nice trout and a ginormous flounder! Take care and be safe and try to stay cool!
Thanks! I'm just glad it went my way.
Thank you Mark, always glad to be your audience. Keep safe!
Thanks, will do! I appreciate your support .

Felt good to catch a big one, thanks David!
Were you by chance over kinda behind Watermans restaurant yesterday morning? Thought I noticed the kayak from a distance.
not me
Mark, you dont have to wait to set the hook fishing for flounders using lures. I set the hook immediately.
Thanks for the advice!

Hi Marvin! Thanks for the support.
@@MDLRFishing un gusto y placer ver tus videos amigo me es de buen útil lo que enceñas en cada video 👌
Does drop shorting work for flounder?
yes, done it in the past.
@@MDLRFishing thank you for the reply.

Pure frustration 😂
A few days of ring rust, landing the big girls!

and what would you think?
if it's plastic - it has to have a lure sent on it

Thanks for the valuable insight!
Cut a chuck off the lure ? Shorten the lure
Thanks for the tip!
@@MDLRFishing I’ve always used that when they short strike I don’t claim to be a pro or anything but it does work for me hope it works for you one day love your channel sir 😊
Why did u not keep any of the flounder
I didn't plan on cooking them right away.
Expose the hook. Set it quick
Thanks for the tip.
👍
All those thumps you feel is the fish trying to disable the bait. He's not trying to swallow it. He only has the tail in his mouth. That's why your lure was cut in the middle. You have to downsize when there biting like that.
