      Thanks Rodney, PLEASE do! I just got my license and don't have anyone to show me how ,except lucky YOU ! ;) I Halis are my target but know nothing about ocean fishing. I spent most of my life fishing lakes. I went to the Agua Hedionda lagoon in Carlsbad tonight and tried pretty much what you're doing in this vid, dropshot rig and a white sardine jelly that I already had (No grubs). NO luck for me though. I'll definitely be subscribing to watch out for your vids and I'll check for previous vids. Thanks again!

    These videos are great. I just started introducing my 4 kids to fishing in San Diego including my 5 year old twin girls. They love watching your videos and it gets them fired up to catch fish. I love the respectful tone and the appreciation for the beauty of the fish you catch. My 5 year old daughter very seriously told me last night after watching your video for the 10th time that I needed to send you a thumbs up on your channel and to not forget.

    Just found your site, subscribed. I've been fishing down south in the gulf and everyone is all about that tandem rig with gulp. I've never in my entire life thought, using a drop shot technique. Not that it wouldnt work but I just never thought about it. Imagine how many snagged rigs you would save or even fish certain parts where rock/sand hold some big flounders. Now that I know I'm definately going to try this flounder season. Pure genius Rodney.

    I cough a 26 inch today at Redondo beach using that lure but the gulp brand.
    A 1/2 ounce drop shot works well too... Cast far and give it some slack so the weight can submerge as the lure follows it down, reel in and repeat, it'll give it an up and down pattern

    Nice vid Rodney! The dropshot rig is perfect for the bays or deeper water columns but harder to use in the surf with too much current. Oh and you will lose plenty of weights so be prepared to pack extra. Cheers man!

    • @RodneyMarquezFishingChannel
      @RodneyMarquezFishingChannel  7 років тому

    • @michaels2569
      @michaels2569 7 років тому

      Many guys including myself like to throw the Lucky craft 110(5/8oz) cif/115mr or any other type of suspending jerk baits for the surf. However, they are very pricey lures, a great alternative is the Daiwa saltwater minnow pro they are half the price and are heavier. If fishing cover many guys throw the 3-5 inch swimbaits with weedless jig heads. The dropshot is still very effective in the surf but it is always nice to have different tricks at the ready. Plus, the dropshot can be quite boring when fishing is very slow but that's just me lol.

    Do you set the hook immediately once you feel a bite or do you let them bite for a couple of seconds before setting the hook? I'm asking since I usually miss those flounder bites in Texas and halibuts and flounders are quite similar fish.

    Again, another outstanding Hali video. Looks like you fish the same area in all, but I can't figure out where that might be. Care to share with an oldtimer returning to fishing after a long break?? What size, weight rod, line, leader??

    Great vid brother! You should check out John Skinner, he is a beast for flounder on the East Coast. Can't wait to hit up Coronado later in the Summer. Hope halibut are biting then.
