    i’ve got zero problems with Mr. MDLR stroking his ego every now and then😂 as he said with the “iffy” keeper-not-keeper flounder mainly because he doesn’t avoid posting skunk day videos too and he keeps it real and doesn’t pretend to have 100% success like other channels do. Well i watch the other channels too lol but since some channels only post success fishing videos, it can lead aspiring anglers to get the wrong idea about how much luck ur gonna have on any given day. hey man I need some luck!😅 My last outing was a skunk haha

      @MDLRFishing  Місяць тому +1

      Yes, I casted a mirro lure right before catching the big trout on the jig. And I also casted it when I was against the rusted bulkhead.

    Go cruise the Texas City dikes on the opposite side of bay, and use a mud minnow hooked through the lip on a bass rig with a bullet weight.
    I catch them all day long lol

      Bc flounder season is basically 1st 2nd cold front of the year til right about thanksgiving and it’s done unless you know of a solid hole that holds them but by dec15 they mostly migrated already so it’s a waste of time…
