Just over a week or so ago I got out amongst'em and couldn't buy a bite. After careful examination I realized that all they were doing is what we've been doing... SOCIAL DISTANCING.! 😒 Thanks for sharing your adventures. Tight Lines and Full Limits To Ya 🎣
Haha!! To funny. Thanks for watching Big K!
Nice catch with the flounder. I've just been catching small trout and reds in East Matty. Good video!
Thanks for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed the video
That first flounder, nice one dude. And the weather was nice for a change ! hahaha. I've always wanted to try some flatfish
LessTalk MoreFishing I have to say I was pretty happy about the weather! They are good, tastes sweet like crab meat.
How about a video on your rods/reels and other fishing equipment? Love the Solo Skiff videos!
I could do a video with my go to rig set ups for sure! Keep an eye out for the vid!
@@KagenFishing I'd also love to know what gear you prefer.
Martin perilloux what do you mean by what gear I prefer? Please be more specific so I can include in next video.
@@KagenFishing I should have been more specific. Rod and reel, tackle (what's in your tackle box), what leader you use (mono or floro). What brand of line you use. I like your videos on sight casting reds and would like to get the same tackle. Do you ever use the drone to find fish? You seem genuine and not like a sponsored salesman like other youtubers.
I've targeted flounder almost exclusively the last 10 or so years. When I feel the thump, I lower the rod tip and wait 10-15 seconds. Flounder like to chew their food and kill it before they swallow it. I give them a little more time. I now it's hard to not set the hook, but it will improve your landing %.
robertintexas thanks for the input. I will try and remember that when I feel the thump haha!
That was an awesome day! The water looked shallow through there; about how deep was it? And hey, that GoPro is psychic! It sure knows when you are about to snag one!
It was dumb shallow. Max depth was 2ft and that was where we were catching fish. The rest of the flat was 0.9ft. It’s usually higher but we caught it at low tide and fished the incoming.
Man I’m jealous! I want one of those solo skiffs so bad! We always get blown off the water in our kayaks by the wind, even with trolling motors.
Trace Furlong the wind can be defeating in a kayak. Having a motor to blast to another spot often makes the difference between going home skunked and finding the fish.
Kagen Fishing exactly.
I used to lose flounder all the time at the net, a guide told me “let them think they are in charge and keep their head down, and keep them horizontal”
Cool perspective on landing more flounder. I will try that in the future
Offshore! Offshore! Offshore!
I like your videos. Where can I get a trailer for my Solo Skiff?
Lots of flounder. We caught more this weekend than all of last year in East Marty.
Wow! That’s very interesting to hear.
Dude! Everytime I watch your vid, I want a Solo.
Uhpikes well I just have a blast on it. I’m glad I can portray that through video!
My second trip to Matagorda on my recently acquired solo skiff and I'm getting my ass kicked out here! Cant get on fish to save my life
The initial Fall flounder run starts in mid June per a representative from Sea Center of Texas.
Very interesting to hear it starts so early!
That’s what I thought as well but (2) years ago I was at the George R Brown fishing Show & ofcourse sat in on many seminars. I forget the gentleman’s name but he is a plaque holder at the Sea Center of Texas. At 1st I was like he had to been pulling our legs but as I thought about it more it began to make much sense. So last year I was at SLP for the weekend & took myself to the Center & validated the seminar with a scientist. Very interesting place. If you ever get a chance to go definitely do so & take the hatchery tour. You will get to see how fry is started, what they feed them & growing cycles as well. Oh you will also lean how the GCCA/CCA was started from a pond inside of Dow Chemical Plant due to the bad freeze in the 1980’S.
Is that Eichler flat
Dude, ur losing too many flounder 😂
💪🙏
Losing the flounder is from weak hooksets. Flounder will mouth a bait and basically swim to you with mouth closed til you try and force them in a direction they don’t want to go and boom open mouth
Maybe ur losing them because your horsing then in a little bit? Just try and be easy reeling them in. Maybe not tho, just a tip! I do the same thing.
Yah that’s a possibility! Thanks for the input.
What lure we’re you using
Down south Larue salt sassy
The one flounder came off bc you lowered your tip messing with the net and your line went slack. It only takes a little and they are masters at getting off.
Louis Octavio Jr I have to say they are masters at shaking hooks.
What’s the rod you’re using?
LongviewGarage Waterloo phantom 7ft medium
Kagen Fishing 10-4
Kegan I am thinking of buying a Solo and would like to meet up with you before I buy. Are you on messenger (Facebook)?
Why? Really? You rush every retrieve after hookup like your trying to lose fish.
