    I applaud your decision to keep that fish. I see many people on here holding fish out the water way too long, only to take a photo and then throw them back regardless of the state of those fish. Knowing a fish's chance of survival and making an educated decision based on that (and killing the fish you keep in a quick and humane fashion, rather than leaving them to suffocate for minutes) is what makes a good fisherman to me.

    Here's a tip: The Vudu Shrimp works great in freshwater too, I've caught many fish with it in Lake Erie and the Ashtabula River... Smallmouth bass and steelheads just love them...

      @danl.909 3 роки тому +3

      Yep. They work on speckled trout in the surf in Alabama too. If it’s not rough and the water’s clear, just crawl one along the bottom in the first gut and wait for the big bump, because it’s coming.

  • @eddielikesfishing

    @ Montana Tatum
    I haven't fished in that inlet in over 20 years, I'm not in NY anymore. If I visit old friends, I'll more than likely bring tackle. If I go, I might go out to Shinnecock or Montauk Point.
    I know that fluke is a colloquial term for summer flounder. I caught enough of them as a boy. If I remember correctly, at the time the size limit used to be 15 inches. I'm sure it's larger now.
    That tackle shop that I was in that wanted to prove their point by cracking open a book was talking about fluke. At the time I thought fluke ran the entire length of the eastern seaboard, but they took me to school on that as well. They were without a doubt talking about the same fish, just using summer flounder, which really is the correct name. The point that I was trying to make with milkshakesplenda was that other places will refer to it by a different name. The same as if you go to the state of Delaware and fish for striped bass, they call them rockfish. I wasn't trying to be right, I was just trying to point something out.

    Hey Elias! What’s your opinion on the hobie outback and compass vs the old town top water or salty pdl? Or predator pdl. For fishing inshore flats, bridges, and maybe a cbbt trip every once in a while. And for surf launches.

    All the inshore fish seem to love that Vu-doo shrimp they also make a very good shad lure, only bad thing is when a pufferfish desides to chomp the tail off and you're down $4.00.

      Until 5 days ago I’d never saltwater fished. Took a trip to the Everglades on fished the Joe River. Had a run in with one of those little bastards (checkered pufferfish) and it ruined a decent amount of my lures. Thing even bit clean through a snap swivel.
