As a converted bass fisherman myself, I'm glad to have found your page. I absolutely love chasing inshore saltwater species... and doing it with a few techniques that I used to do in freshwater is even better. Tight lines! Perhaps I'll see you out there and we can share a tide.
Check out the latest videos :)
Just found your channel tonight.
Really enjoying your content dude. Very informative and great fishing footage.
Awesome, thank you!
Great stuff!!! keep um coming 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Enjoying all your videos over and over. What is considered a "shore mat"?
Going by weight - 7lbs+ in my book.
Very nice! thank you
Great video Rodger. You are the king of fluke fishing from the shore. No one has it down like you do. Excellent private fishing lessons folks!!!!!
haha thank you!!!
Awesome vid !
Dude, wtf. In the other vid, watching that fish come up several times and slam that jerkbait was fucking sick
More of that coming soon :)
Nice job! Congratulations!
thanks!
New subscriber here, just found out about your channel from an old Eliasvfishing podcast
LOL a blast from the past...totally forgot I did that defunct podcast...he should bring it back!!
It's funny you mention bringing alot of freshwater bass techniques to fluke fishing. Many years ago when I started targeting fluke, it was because it resembled bass fishing to me so much.
Great videos!
You hit the nail on the head - I think that's why I still find fluke interesting - they're like a LM/SM bass that stays on the bottom feeding up 100% of the time lol
😮💨😮💨 now that’s a fluke ! As always appreciate the uploads the information provided it always top tier thank you man.
Thanks!!
Shoremat on a jerk bait.... **achievement unlocked** Congrats brotha!
Haha thanks mang!!
Excellent! I can’t wait to get back out for those flatties! Have a great day!
Thanks and good luck!
Beautiful fish .that's a nice cut or troth nice and deep
Nice fish, Rodger! Good to hear your voice again.
Thanks Stretch! Hope all is well!!
Nice catch bro
Awesome!
Always enjoy your videos sir. Keep up the great catching. The slot fish is killing me. Ridiculous!!!
Thanks Eddie and I agree - ridiculous! A 17" fluke will never be a "keeper" in my book lol
Congratulations on your shoremat!
thanks!
Congratulations Roger on that epic shoremat and your artful release! What a memorable day!
Would you share the specific mods you made to that jB to achieve the desired float rate? Thanks
@@drfish4117 On the Kaira 80 #6 gammy sp mh belly and #2 owner inline single tail, #2 decoy split rings gave me the desired float rate. On a couple baits I had to upsize or downsize split rings.
Thanks and keep ‘em coming!
@@drfish4117 Thanks Mike!!
Beautiful fish and amazing content as always. Interesting about sunshine and the bite. I know they rely heavily on vision but I've still always wondered if fluke fishing could ever be productive at night or early morning in very low light.
They'll eat at night if there's artificial light shining on the water - enough people have blown up that bite on social media lol...full moon surf have yielded many big fluke over the years, usually early or late in the season by striper fishermen.
Nice!! 💪🏻
Wow you are really good at this. You said manybreasons the slot size dowsnt make sense. What are those reasons for the novice?
I explain it in this video - ua-cam.com/video/QxGWbqXxMzI/v-deo.html
Awsome catch roger! Catching a 25”+ is a goal of mine. I just gotta get out there more.
Thanks! You just gotta hit a big one on the head lol
What a beaut looking cut and fish there … nice release
Thanks Brad! I dipped that fish in water as much as I can during the measuring/weighing process - hopefully she's out there doing her thing right now!
Keep something for the table Roger!
I kept exactly one fish last year lol...
Can you do a video on how you clean your reel after a session. Thanks
Yeah I'll do that at some point!
The ygk is the same stuff tacklewarehouse sells? I need to try some.
Couple of things: I can literally see where you were from my house. I'm about mile as the crow flies from there. About 5 years ago an angler posted on a large web site that he caught from a boat a DD fluke in that 'area'. I am now convinced he wasn't bsing. If you need a beer or a parking place to access the ocean let me know as I can provide both. To respect your wish about spot burning I'll leave my location etc. out.
LOL ty!!!
Boss I have a thunnus 6000 that I would like to catch small fish like flukes in the surf . Any rod suggestions ? Maybe something that can handle a blue or striper
A fluke rod/reel is its own thing...put that thunnus on a heavy rod for stripers/blues and get yourself a dedicated fluke jigging setup - I have links to all budgets in the description
I see you are using YGK Upgrade x8 22lb. Does it have to be 22lb or can I used something like 14lb instead. I bought a Tatula XT 73M and decided to used a 2500 fuego LT reel. I see your cousin used 10lb daiwa j braid. Can you do a future video of why you are using the YGK braid and what make them better than other braids.
22lb is perfect for fluking - 14lb is really finesse freshwater diameter. 22lb is like 6-8lb US braid thickness, no need to go thinner. YGK is the best braid on the market - super tight weave that lasts, doesn't absorb water, not too wiry or limp.
How deep does that jerkbait dives and do u try to hit bottom?
Try to keep it 1-5ft off the bottom, digging bottom is no good!
@@CookingandFishing Roger that! Pun intended
Do you have a link for the single hooks?
Owner single replacement #2
Is it a top water bait
It's a jerk bait.
@CookingandFishing when you use the jerkbait for fluke, do you ever catch bluefish? I recently tried these methods and caught a ton of bluefish as well as fluke. Do the hooks you use stand up to the bluefish? If not, what hooks would you recommend. I was using a megabass vision 110. I kept the stock hooks since they held to smallmouth bass in freshwater. The bluefish destroyed them though...
I don't keep the stock hooks on 110s even for freshwater, they are junk imo and not just bc they're thin wire - the points roll over if you look at them wrong. For fluke on a 110 you want to use Owner inline singles, size 1 - it will stand up to the abuse and you won't miss any fish, in fact your landing % will be much higher with the larger gap. If bluefish are around I'm not throwing the jerkbait at all, but I've landed teener blues on different jerkbaits running owner singles. You're okay as long as they don't cut you off.
@@CookingandFishing Alright cool. Thanks for the tips. I'll find some time to go try them out.
Awesome Roger.....That location just screams jerkbait! BTW.....Can you share those Hook Keepers you and Marc use on all your rods?
Thanks! Fuji EZ Keeper
@@CookingandFishing Thank You Roger...
Will try to go out for the first time using the crazy loop jighead jerk shad method on the beach. Hopefully i can get in on some. Do u think the colder water has affect on the bite for fluke specifically in the surf. I might bring a jerkbait with me just in case striper r still around biting
Thanks for the vids, appreciate the tips
@@andrewkim1357 thanks! And yes the water seems colder than usual but the fluke are around
@@CookingandFishingcaught my pb fluke off surf yesterday, 18 inches. The gulp grub with the loop knot or I was using a 1/4-3/8 bucktail single jig was the ticket, all I did was target rock pilings or small jetties on the beach. That's where I got most of my bites during high tide. Love the fluke content, hopefully I can go out again and try for a limit
@@andrewkim1357 Congrats!! You'll catch more and bigger fluke this season if you keep at it!
Is ygk braid good for a spinning reel for distance for light lures. I have been using fin s windtamer on my spinning reels. I some time get wind knots. Any recommendations sir. Keep the lessons coming.
YGK x8 Upgrade is the best spinning reel braid I've used - 22lb (PE1) for fluke, 16lb if you want to downsize for even more distance. Keep in mind those are actual breaking strengths and we're talking approx. US braid diameters of 6-8lb. Wind knots are usually user error, ie not manually seating the braid on the line roller, winding with too much slack, or using a reel that stacks line poorly etc.
Thanks for the advice.
Is that your favorite reel over any of the top end bait casting Shimano reels in terms of ease of use and dependability.
I would like to use this jerk bait for flounder fishing in galvz, tx during flounder season. Any specific jerk bait in mind? Thanks Roger.
@@abrahamjoseph6707 You really can't go wrong with any Shimano/Daiwa baitcaster, your preference on centrifugal vs magnetic braking is probably the deciding factor
Is this jerkbait sinking or floating? how many inches? thanks.
Suspending that I modded into a slow floater - it's all in the video links to actual baits in description
How much for a trip?

Where are you located? Would love to take you up on private lessons

Have you used sunline Siglon ADV? If you did how was your experience?
I've used the regular Siglon, and hated it. Also tried another sunline braid...forgot the name but it was absolute garbage. Big fan of sniper, hate their PE. YGK x8 Upgrade is the best braid on the market, and I've tried nearly everything. It's smooth, super tight weave, doesn't absorb water, and stays that perfect texture - not too limp not too wiry - for a long time, esp on a baitcaster.
@@CookingandFishing OK I’ll take your word for it. One last thing what are your thoughts on the new $300 daiwa tatula elite AGS 7’6 med Lt-med fast? Would this be a good substitute for the 7’6 med Lt-med fast Steez.?
@@noeleust4674 Don't take my word for it - get a spool and see for yourself. The new Tat Elite 76MML AGS looks amazing on paper, shouldn't be far off from my Steez 76.
@@CookingandFishing once again thanks for your opinion! Very helpful info! Consider writing shore fishing fluke articles for fishing magazines or a book lol
Looks like you are getting fat ones down there already. I’ve gotten keepers in NY but they are all still skinny. I kept a 21 incher on a jig and it only had a single tiny crab in its stomach. Why don’t you like the rattle for the jerkbaits?
I'll always start with silent baits in clear water - less intrusive and it's a purely visual bite when they can see 10+ft above them.
It's fluking man.. . You are covering ground and fishing a realistic presentation. The water is clear so I'm assuming your by the navisink/ Shrewsbury/ or somewhere north on shoreline close to deep dropoffs. I'm sorry but you make it seem like your way is the best and only way to get big fish. Try that method in mud choc milk water in south Jersey. It won't nearly be as productive. Your way works and it's very informative info but there are other ways. Fluking is all about covering ground at the right speed and putting out a realistic presentation. In muddy water add something with some smell. Strips/ gulp /procure etc to your presentation. It ain't rocket science. Let's see your single jig or jerkbait vs skinner on his bucktail /teaser 2 hook rig out on the boat. I think you would be out fished big-time
Lol yeah it all makes perfect sense on paper - I only care about results, and I think I've uploaded enough videos on this channel to justify certain claims, though none of it involves a jerkbait being the "best" method for fluke - it's a situational thing and frankly, just a fun way to catch flatfish when you're bored to death of using a jig. I would love to fish against skinner, if you can make that happen DM me lol.
Why the hating and comparing anglers? There are different techniques for different situations and I guarantee you that for every good trip there are plenty of bad ones.
Comparing his style and technique is individual to him and not Skinner. His videos don’t lie and the results are incredible. I also love the fact that he’s not pushing his own line of rods, rigs , jigs and baits where he has a huge vested interest $$$
My money is on Rodger 👍
