I fished the belmar inlet today for the first time on my bass tracker. A couple shorts on gulp. Got outfished by the other boats with live killies.. lesson learned
For inland bays flounder after you tie the dropper loop, cut the loop 1/2” from the main line and then you have a single line coming out to tie the hook to. It is a more natural presentation. Put a spro bucktail with gulp on the bottom loop vice a sinker.
Little reaper on the meat!!! Nice video dude!! I like the rig setup ,it sure is deadly. Thanks for the video and good luck out in the deep. Looking forward to the videos
Hey capt Chris! I was watching your fluke video when your buddy stopped by on his edgewater 31. Sure, looks like the boat I talked to on the radio Monday out on the ridge. I'm the guy on the Grady.
As usual another greta video!! I love my Tsunami 6'4" Slim Wave as it's probably the strongest flounder rod I have ever used but has plenty of flexibility to feel every bite and movement.
17 inches in NJ?! Wow! NYC is 18.5 inches. Caught a lot of 17-18 inches this summer but only caught two 21-22 inches. May have to make the move next door. Great video.
Long time no talk Chris. Catching up on all the content now. Fishing has been alright here in cape may. For me it has been inconsistent. Great video bro! Havent been out to the canyons yet this summer. Glad to see the tile fishing good! I can't wait to get out there.
Thanks for the video. I am in Bayville. What trolling motor do you recommend for a 24 gradywhite dual console. I have both a lowrance and simrad fish finder. Best mark
Great video, I'm sick of buying rigs with fancy feathers for $10 bucks. You know I only got out 1x this season.. Hurt my knee and so my CC21 pro-line is sitting in my driveway on the trailer.. I think I should get out there before the season ends, although It's time for bass here on Long Island, NY. I'll subscribe, keep the video's coming..!!
I tie mine the exact same way except I just use the pre snelled fluke hooks with 24” of leader , make my dropper loop about 16-18” up and on that I’ll fish a bucktsil for whatever the conditions may be unless it’s very dirty I’ll replace it with a weight to avoid the bucktail on the ground dragging weeds. It’s a little bit opposite of what you’re doing bc my teaser hook which is usually the most productive is the very bottom of the rig and the dropper loop is my weight whicheber it may be and then my gulp or minney has 16-18” of free play to travel up down all around or trailing etc dependent on conditions and it seems to get them really excited especially if you’re creating chaos with some constant super super super light bounces of the bucktail. Will have to give your way a shot I like the idea of that for high current days bc it will give me more control in keeping it vertical and if you ever get around to it try it the way I do it I think you’ll see a bit of a change in fish behavior. I get super aggressive bites this way and they just take it bc it’s constantly moving it’s never still for them to pick up and do their little backwards jiggle swim away move they do I find that if it’s making chaos it kicks in their predatorial instincts and they just hammer it. Btw bft and Spanish hanging right by the reef directly out east of you. We crushed them last Friday and Monday on skirted ballyhoos and pitching poppers. I imagine you got word of them being in already but in the event you haven’t figured I’d throw it out there since I’m pretty sure you’ll understand the reef I’m referring to
Chris what setup do you like when fishing the reefs 4-5 miles out in 60-70ft water? I've lone used my high/low tipped with gulp but anything else you recommend?
Check out this video about mid way through. Sometimes also just a dropper loop about a foot above sinker with a live peanut bunker ua-cam.com/video/QXpLFGRKxeI/v-deo.html
How do you find your fishing spots on the Windy app so you know the wave heights I am trying to look for the mudhole, and it’s not there I see everything else like Texas Tower but not the Mudhole is it because I have to pay so I can see everything?
Minimum consistent catch for Yellowfin is usually 61-62 or so. Can catch them around 60 if the bait is stacked up in one area FOREVER, but bank on 62 or so as the norm. Sometimes they are right on the change...other days on the warm or the cold. Each day is different in that regard.
If you are foraging for food there is no limit on what you can keep, because there are no laws restricting foraging for food, and there can be no laws or foraging for food, the word fishing and hunting have become commercial terms, so if you are not in commerce the government has no subject matter jurisdiction in your life.
Although we complain about the rules and regulations on fishing and hunting they are there for a good reason. If we all used that foraging mentality human nature would end up wiping out everything we hunt and fish!
What are you talking about? Foraging or not you should protect your fish so you can keep catching them. Note that you could catch Halibut across the east coast, but it's gone extinct because too many people caught them. If you say you're foraging, everyone else is gonna say they're foraging.
@@VictorF0326 it wasn't the individual foraging for food who depleted anything, it was corporations who depleted different species of food, the average person could not travel out into the ocean, they didn't have the knowledge or the ability to go into the ocean and to deplete any species, it is corporations who deplete species, for financial profit and gain, making the food supply smaller, increasing the cost of the food. And the word corporation, in part comes from the word corpse, a dead entity. Remember why they got rid of the buffalo, to starve the Indians into compliance! Did the Indians waste the buffalo, I do not think so.
GULP RULES …. Beats squid strips or killies every time IMO, but I do is everything. Good video 👍🏼
Love it, fluking the old fashioned way - how I did it growing up. A bucket of killies and some lead sinkers.
Thanks so much for watching!!! Can't beat the minnies
I've been making that rig as well the past couple years...back to basics...works great!
Thanks as always for watching Andrew!!
Nice catch Captain Chris !! Nice simple fluke rig works all the time !! Thank you for the video !!
Thanks as always for watching!
Great job Chris keep em coming. Best of luck and be safe out their in the canyons.
Thanks, will do!

You'll get em next time

Can you do a rigging ballyhoo video and more videos of boat maintenance and just odds and ends getting ready for trips and getting the boat read
those are things I've always wanted to make videos of. It's so tough because I'm always in a rush. I'll do my best
Nice video going down the beach this weekend. Hopefully I can catch some on a charter boat. 😊
Good luck John hope you get em!!
Great time Capt!

Not sure man. John is on either the "Double O" or the "Yeah Baby" typically.
Great guy!!
Great video as always Reaper🤙🏻
Glad you enjoyed it

Thanks so much Andy!
6 6 slim wave for me the white one. With a tranx... Absolute fluke slayer
Awesome videos reap! Seen you pull up at 19 fathom last week when we were out, can’t remember if it was Monday or Wednesday when I seen you
that was on monday. we went 6 for 8. I didn't film that day, I just wanted to enjoy being out there

I haven’t used bait for fluke in over 10 years my dad bring killies every time and I outfish him 10/1
There minnows

Google will give you the coordinates
@@thomasstreahle2793 sorry I mean to check the waves heights
Drag the cursor over the area you want the forecast for....then it will give you the forecast for the next few days
@@reaperfishingnj8623 thanks
What type of area were you targeting these fish? Mud bottoms, channel edges, sunken debris, etc.
mostly channel edges that time of year. then wrecks as they transition out into theocean.
Hey Chris, what is the minimum temperature break or range for yellowfin and You fish the warm side or cold side
Minimum consistent catch for Yellowfin is usually 61-62 or so. Can catch them around 60 if the bait is stacked up in one area FOREVER, but bank on 62 or so as the norm. Sometimes they are right on the change...other days on the warm or the cold. Each day is different in that regard.
dude whats your secret to how you got shredded for this tuna season?
I did intermittent fasting. Started surfing again. Circuit training, intermittent weights, some swimming.
Reaper!
Where's the tank tops at
Fluke regulations in NJ are ridiculous.
Tying a dropper loop
Can the rod be used for surf fishing
definetely not in the surf
What do you do for a living?
gonna keep that private for now
You kept the one fish at 17 inches isn't minimum 18
2 between 17 and 17.99, one over 18"
Damn.. wearing those “dad lawn cutter” 3000 sneaks.
Ha....always!!!
'Minnies' and several 'you alls' is telling me you might not have started in NJ. True?
Ha. NJ born and bred. Brief 5 year stay in East Florida
A fluke slot is silly.
AFI FANS UNITE!!
Ha!!! AFI baby! Wish I saw them live
Ozempic
Ha. No chance man. Good old diet and exercise mate. That stuff is poison, trust me.

Must be nice to rec fish for the best table fish. Can't even keep one in the state of NC. Wtf.
really? that's crazy
A paid commercial with too much boring blah blah blah
sorry you didn't like this video. check out some of our tuna videos. nothing but action in those. But I appreciate you checking us out
