Welcome to NC and our favorite fish the flounder!!!! The season in NC is always closed lol!! Oh yeah and our second favorite fish the lizard fish!!
Great video! Glad you are safe after that storm!
Rough ending but an epic flounder catch. Thanks for the always great content.
Love your attitude man. Inspiring.
Great video! And that was an awesome flounder! Great job! I wouldn't have stayed as along as you did, but you are the man! Keep up the good work! And as always, #FishAholicFishing rocks!!!
Another great video. Enjoyed!
Huge fan! Glad you made it in safely
It's real fishing. Great content.
Glad to see you in one piece. Wow!
Mad respect for the perseverance!
Even with tools on dry land fixing that rudder is a PITA. Been there, done that. Good luck, Rich. Love the channel.
Great video Rich got to take the good days with the bad days
I’ve lived in Murrells inlet for 3 years and I’ve only caught a handful of flounder over 17 inches it’s pretty crazy how pressured the actual inlet is. I talked to a charter captain in Charleston and he said that his buddies in Murrells inlet say it’s super rough. I’ve been fishing bulls bay and Pawleys Island and I’ve had much better luck in both.
Awesome to see you in my back yard! I’ve dropped in at Hot Fish many a time. There are some tip we locals use if you plan on fishing here more regularly.
Nice Variety Of Fish!🤗
I was watching my 85" Samsung TV and noticed that my phone (for the first time) saw a notification that I can watch UA-cam on my TV. First video, absolutely in HD, but not my last. Great to watch on the big screen! Keep it up!
You’re out there in my stomping grounds Rich! Wish the weather was kinder to you out there, I’m looking forward to being out in those Wilmington waters soon for flatboy season. Wishing you fine weather and finer fish!
God bless you for toughing it out. Looks like both trips touched on the fickleness of fishing. You can kill the fish one day and the next is just a calamity of tackle breakdowns, weather or getting hooked or hurt. We take the good w bad. I always say you could pick your perfect spot and time of year and have different results every time. Sometimes the fish gods do give us consistency. Keep plugging brother.
Dang - hadn’t seen a vid from u in a couple weeks - you had me worried! Glad ur ok and stay safe out there - that weather was nasty for any boat nevermind the yak.. you’ll slay some fish on the trip back! Keep up the great vids and tight lines!
Really cool species! We may have toad fish here in Bermuda but not sure which kind.
I didnt catch any palometa this weekend since our southshore was quite windy, but went west and got some little grouper doing something a little different.
Glad you also had a nice fishing weekend
-Raj
Another great video! Was looking forward to it
Thanks so much Michael! I hope you're catching!!
That storm was scary! I’ve never caught much of anything at both locations you fished. After watching your video I don’t feel so bad 😂😂😂 cuz if you struggled that much, especially at Murrels Inlet. The best day I had was 2 Speckled Trout there ….out of 4 - 4 hour trips one way there. Love your content! Keep the good work up
Dang brothers good to see you fishing my home waters of Murrells inlet I fish it in yak every weekend the flounder and reds have been good in the creeks. I hate you had your break down with the rudder. But as always great video
If you're fishing and life throws you lemons, make ceviche
You were fishing in a great spot. Gets very busy on the weekends but good fishing, it should pick up in a few and flounder season starts Sep 25th.
Sweet! We were just down in Charleston and hooked a few nice redfish and my GF hooked a 22 inch trout on the Folly River!
Started watching you when I saw you were from Lk.Tellamark area, small world 🌎!! I grew the other side of Denville, my little sister works at Morristown Memorial, she might know your Mom!! Good 👍 VIDEO! Everyone needs to catch a lizzard fish! 😂
you make the best videos
thanks so much!! I have some truly more epic ones going up soon!
great reveal...your drone talents are fantastic!
Thanks glad you enjoyed!!
Rich i feel your pain on the rudder line .. mine broke on the outback while i was out also .. i now keep about 20ft of 1000lb spectra and a mutli tool in the hatch at all times .. tight lines from ft lauderdale
Next time tie a small sinker to the fluoro and pitch it to the back 👍
That’s really smart!
haha yeah I did something similar eventually. I used a bobber.
Rich -Swiss army knife is a cheap valuable and useful tool. I have carried one for 50 years and has gotten me out of some jams. Some days are trying - keep the faith
wow amazing content mate, stay safe
hey Rich, I live in Wilmington NC. Would've loved to have run into you at WB and chatted for a bit. Crazy seeing you out at South End WB. You the man.
Rich!! Great vid as always!! You need to make a fishing video in flamingo florida. Would love to see it the fishing is amazing!
Are you talking down at the south tip of mainland Flamingo as in the old Flamingo Lodge??? If so you are so right that would be an epic place for him to Kayak fish!!!!
Hey huge fan I’ve been watching since 10k and always love the vids. Keep working hard🎣
Thanks so much Thomas! Email me your mailing address and I'll send you a little thank you gift! fishaholictv@gmail.com
@@FishAholicTVthank you I emailed you the address
Sickkkk
Great video Rich. I fish murrels inlet pretty much every week on the yak and the creeks and that jetty have been a struggle the past month, at least for me. Not sure if it's due to how hot the water has been lately. Flounder have been around but everything else has been super inconsistent.
Gotcha, thanks for the report! It was still cool to try and get a work out in hahaha.
@@FishAholicTV my rudder failing is my worst nightmare. You handled it like a pro 😊
We were on our way out of Key West on my birthday July 4th I was working of course as usual the life of a fisherman. When you head out Oceanside in the morning the sun is in your face, my capt a 50yr Keys veteran and the best boat man I've ever fished with ran over about a half acre glob of net, it locked the props up and encompassed the rudders as well, there is no choice but to jump in and get to work, capt in his late 70s or mate in his 40s it's a no brainer who is jumping in. In I went in one of the most Bull and Tiger Shark rich areas the Keys has to offer...uuugghh needless to say with only a mask and some fins I would dive on a breath and cut cut cut and then pop back up for over an hour I was totally gassed but got it. Customers were in town for a few days and agreed to go in and try again tomorrow. A 42nd B Day I will never forget. Stuff happens and you must be ready!!! ALWAYS ALWAYS carry a serrated knife as rope and netting isn't easy to cut with a smooth blade!! Good stuff Rich!!!!
I broke down a couple years ago with a big storm rolling in. It was exciting to say the least
hahaha glad you made it out ok. It definitely makes you feel alive. After I got back to my truck another big rain squall hit and my kayak was literally floating next to my truck haha.
Bro, everything you’re dealing with in this video has happened to me out in the gulf by Pine Island. The struggle is real but it’s a labor of love my dude.
Pine Island, Matlacha? There's a bunch of Pine Islands. Used to live in Cape Coral... now go out of Crystal River/Ozello.
Hey bud, if you find yourself in Morehead City or Beaufort I can put you on some fish. The fishing up here is on another level.
Those lizard fish are excellent eating... And I've eaten pretty much every fish that swims. Nice flaky mild white meat. Just make sure you put them on ice to firm up the flesh before you fillet. Enjoy!
No shit! Love murrels!
That ending was like Stranded Deep.
at least you got some fishing in. peace.
yeah better than nothing! Tight Lines!!
Yesssir thee goat !!!!
You were fishing my local spot (Wrightsville Beach South end). There are plenty of lizardfish here at the inlet. It is not worth the time to try eating them. They have a mushy texture and small bones and the taste does not make up for it (not even a little). Try puffers, they taste MUCH better and have almost no bones.
Cool thanks for the feedback. I like puffer fish! Tight Lines!
At least you had perfect conditions
Dang man you were so close to ridiculous red fishing!! Fort Fisher just down the road from where you were at Wrightsville beach. We have been killing big reds on top water!!
Hope to see you out there one day!!
ahhhhh dang I wish I was there hahaha. I'll have to try it next time!
Wow that's a prize flattie for that area
As the turtle man would say , yeee yee live action
Rather you than me out there buddy, total commitment.
There are good days and bad sometimes so so. One time I was in a rental boat on the lake fishing for Striped Bass and my buddy got caught up with my line and tangled. While trying to get the tangle undone, the wind blew the boat up on the shore. So in the cold and wind, I had to jump in the water to get the boa ton the water again. Soaked I kept fishing and nothing the whole day! It happens 😂
haha yeah you know it! That's a funny story haha. Sounds like your toes were cold brrrrr.
Attach the line to the end of a 'fishing' rod and 'fish' it through.😄
I once got stung by a sting ray within the first half hour of kayaking out to the jetties. I tried to stay, but I had to beach it and go to urgent care.
Just moved to SC. Going all out with a kayak this year! Starting to research everything I need. Note: small toolkit with screwdrivers.
I can’t believe i met you right before this, sorry you had to throw back that doormat
As a former kayak fisherman before tendinitis, I can tell you I used to swear that the storms would follow me in my kayak. I was in some really bad ones real bad.
Aye rich you should have fish inshore the biggin are lurking now maybe on your way back down you’ll stop by pamlico or the nuese river
Your definitely lucky.. I got caught in open water in severe thunderstorm. 60-70 mph wind. 5-6 foot chop. Butt puckered for miles or 2 back to beach.
also dude I aint gonna lie to ya the marsh behind Masonboro island is a better play than the jetties that area is fished extremely hard by charters and recreational fisherman and produces on occasion however the afternoon you had out there is decently par for the course. Im watching now in January and if this video is from four months ago which would be around September, I was catching 20+ inch Spanish off the pier on light tackle casting Gotcha plugs in the surf at the Oceanic restaurant pier about a mile up from this spot. Doesn't cost money to go on the pier there. Another new place to try would be the Wildlife access out at Fort Fisher and fish the rock jetty over there out of the basin and work your way back into the bays. Around that time as well I was limiting on trout and getting a mixed bag of flounder and reds. River Road park is an excellent area to access the Cape Fear river. Wildlife access at Carolina Beach gives you the ability to access the river via Snows Cut or fish the ICW around CB Inlet. Also just North of WB is Topsail island. Lots of great fishing there. Im a kayak guy as well and have had to branch out from WB proper to get on a decent bite in the Wilmington area but there are fish to be caught. Love the videos bro, hope to catch you next time you're in the city.
will you ever be back to fish murrells inlet? that where i fish alot. thanks bruce
Just a thought. Could you get the rudder line far enough back if you attached it to the tip of a rod and guided towards the back? Looks like you might have enough of an angle.
I was able to attach it to a bobber I had and throw it from one end to the other inside the kayak.
Aww man. This is my favorite spot on earth. I SURE hope you went to Wahoos or Bubba’s love shack lol. If they’re still there. That’s some of the best seafood you can ever eat. Also if you are still in the area, check out Brookgreen Gardens. They have a soup there called “Shecrab” it’s freaking heavenly. I used to stay at Huntington Beach state park to surf fish that stretch of beach. They have some absolutely monstrous red fish there.
hahaha yeah I've been to Bubba's and Wahoos many time so I didn't go there. I just grabbed something quick from publix and cooked it at home. Thanks for the tips though I'll be back to hit it again soon! Tight Lines!!
@@FishAholicTV nice! Love your vids bro. I hope one day to see you do some peacock bass vids down in south Florida. Might just run into you lol
The real struggle is the boat traffic in the summer in murrels inlet. Trying to get to the jetties can be brutal from all the boat traffic
And all the guide boats, some are not too courteous when you are on spot fishing and put a big wake on you, at least I am in a boat not a kayak
@@robolson7224 that is the truth!
As a North Carolinian, I apologize for our flounder season being such a joke
have you seen they're going to regulate mullet now? lol
@@killasnipe_ yeah, so dumb. Like there aren’t millions of them in every inlet.
@@killasnipe_wow. I thought you were making a joke. Not a joke. That’s insane. I live in Nc as well but they’re making it hard to fish nowadays
EliasV done caught em all lol
Leatherman sidekick has all the tools you will need right on your belt clip
Holy crap that looks like my neighborhood
man its a good thing your drive was fixed once that storm hit.... you was slammin the paddles and just hardly staying in place with the wind
Oh yeah I would have been in deep s**t if the drive broke.
If you inserted a long fluorocarbon line from the back of the kayak then tied it securely to end of the remaining broken rudder line, then grabbed the fluorocarbon line from hole in the middle of the kayak, then tied it together to the line coming from the steering lever, probably you could have fixed it.
Hey Rich, I’m a big fan also! I’m just wondering how old was that rudder line?
I was just at the 7 mile bridge yesterday, the current was so strong I was trying to pedal my kayak and the gears stripped in the drive! I couldn’t even hand paddle against it, I was getting swept out to sea and a boat had to save me!
Was out there over the weekend fishing very lightly w my girl. Got skunked 2 days in a row throwing lures, visibility sucked. I know the keys, if I really wanted to catch something I should have used a sabiki and squid but I wanted a snook (missed 2) or jack or gamefish.
How’s the cobia fishing there in the summer
Hey check out the Milwaukee 6in1 knife, they are great to have. Carry one on me all the time! Cheers 🍻
Grab a gerber multi-tool and throw it in your tackle box. It’s much better than a sa knife.
Rich, what brand of net are you using?
what battery do you use for your depth finer
Yo on your way back down stop by Hilton head island SC and let’s go catch some fish 🤙🏽
♥
Rich you could have used your rod to get the line back to the rudder.
What model Daiwa Harrier rod is that ?
WHATS UPP HOW U BEEN???? This is already a w vid
Hey there I'm doing well! Been living like a bat in a cave editing non-stop before another fishing trip.Trying my hardest to get the content up!!!
@FishAholicTV I got to admit u have been putting up amazing videos these last couple times, fishohalic🔛🔝🐐
dude what are the odds those are my two fishing spots i go between lol
04:54 - Imagine you're stuck on a bar and *then* you get a kayak stuck on your head like the Mr. Bean turkey episode?
That saddle blanket flounder was thinking about biting your sac.
Swells lifted my kayak and turned me sideways repeatedly but I managed to balance.
Enjoyed your rendition of the Stones anthem, "Get what you want". Pro Tip - stick to fishing videos, stay with your day job.
tie fish gripper to line and throw it to the back of the kayak
Hey Rich What shoes are you wearing. Im looking for kayak shoes that dont get stinky and can take the salt water
My shoes, Columbia water/boat shoes amzn.to/3TJY92v The stinky thing might be hard to prevent. But if you wash with freshwater after each use and let dry in the sun you should be good.
I assume you're buying non res lincenses on the way up. Pricey?
Rich I fish Murrells pretty often and have had the most success inside the jetty and on the ocean side as well. Big flounder and big reds not to mention tons of blues and Spanish.
Awesome thanks so much for the tips! I need to put in some more time there. Tight Lines!
Would love it if you would show loading and tying down you kayak on the rooftop sometime.
ahhh sorry, in this video you can see in the beginning how I get it off the truck and basically i just do the same in reverse to load it up there. ua-cam.com/video/KDsYgBk-378/v-deo.html
@@FishAholicTV nice. Thanks Rich.
Might have been able to bend a rod in the compartment to pass the line through. It's skinny and longer then your arm.
My grandma has been the dirictor of morrestown forever her name id donna rusnack are you familiar or have you heard her name around? Love the vids fish inshore in miami
I’m headed there in October. May I ask where you launched from?
in murrells inlet? I launched just south of the Marsh Walk. Wrightsville Beach? Just on the inside of the inlet on the northern side. I don't know if there is a name for the launch.
@@FishAholicTV thanks brother. Safe travels and tight lines!
Rich, You have your entire life ahead of you. You should have been off the water at the first sign of that storm, but it did make for a good video 🙂 Stay Safe.
Are you stopping in Jersey on your way up?
hahaha yeahhh I know. Im always constantly looking at the weather but that storm truly developed out of a nothing. You live and you learn. I stopped ion Jersey briefly just to see my mom and sister but went straight out to Montauk.
I agree, I got stuck in a really bad storm a couple weeks ago on my kayak. Tucked up in the mangroves as best I could. I missed getting hit by multiple lighting strikes and honestly thought I was done. Watching him go through that completely in open water gave me PTSD.
If you go in at the first sign of a storm you would get zero fishing in all summer!!! They are around everyday and you can usually get around them but I hear what you are saying
@@davewylie654 True, I get out as early as I can to avoid them but sometimes it doesn't matter. Never fun when my max speed is 3-4 mph 😌
@@United_By_Water yep its an almost daily event for us in South Florida
Thunderstorm plus kayak can equal disaster. Thankfully not this time.
Need a multi-tool sponsor.
You should have stayed in the inlet I hardly ever fish past the end of the jetty
