MMMMM....A FRIED FLOUNDER SAMICH...EITHER SIDE... WOULD GO WELL RIGHT NOW.....
Samiches on the grill from last week.

Wow...Just checked out the list/pics of goodies . guess I better get fishing. Couple questions> can you give some rigging and use advise on some of those fancy toys for flounder. I have always gone old school with live bait, but wanted to try some of the other techniques. In particular I hear alot about the Gulp Baits. How is everybody using these and what colors and styles are working? Also, I have always heard of including a bucktail on the rig, but have never tried this myself. And I eyeballed one of those crazy looking shimano jigs at the tackle shop the other day and was seriously thinking about trying one since it did look like some of the items found in the stomachs of the big flatties of recent years. Post up some rigging pics...
Dove, I'm Gonna get my camera up to the shop and shoot some pics of the rigs out of packages and explain the techniques and how to use them. I'll have them up by tommorow or thurs, Thanks for your support. Tim
until the spot come in good, i use all gulp. best luck with red, white, and brown/white 3 in mullet. just picked up some orange the other day and i cant wait to try it. i have heard people do well with chartruese (or however you spell it) and the shrimp.
i honestly think they do work better than shiners/minnows/squid strips but spot is def. better. another benefit is you can catch more than one fish on them with out having the bait ruined or taken off and the scent lasts all day.
Jemche +3 for 11 total
These are Tap-Dancer rigs.Very popular in this area and up north.there are many ways to bait up a rig like this but the most popular is,strip bait of squid,fluke,belly,mackeral,etc.on the ball jig.and your minnowor spearing on the trailer hook
this is a tandum fluke rig,you can put your bait of choice on the skirted hook and a fluke sandwich(spearing &squid combo) on the plain hook.or as shown use a gulp bait on the plain one.
as you can see here lots of guys like to use a bucktail jig or a ball jig of choice where the sinker normally would go.
Gulp baits are the most popular soft plastic lure on the market today.the best selling baits are 3"+4"shrimp in new penny,natural.4"swimming mullet in pink,chart.,pearl.2"peeler crab in new penny,natural.
this is the Shimano Lucanis jig.good jig for sea bass,fluke etc.this jig is part of the jigging system.here is the link http://lucanusjig.com/publish/conten.../us/index.html
this is the same jig rigged for deep drop jigging
if you guys have anymore questions let me know i will try to help you out any way i can.
Can OffTheHook employees get in on this give away???
