This video, by Prolific Fishing, provides a comprehensive guide on how to target flounder effectively using a custom double jig rig.
Rig Construction & Setup (0:01 - 5:31):
Materials: You will need a swivel, two jig heads (3/8 oz or 1/4 oz recommended), and 60 lb monofilament leader line. The 60 lb test is crucial to prevent the flounder's sharp teeth from cutting the leader (0:54). Assembly: The host demonstrates a step-by-step process for creating a double-hook setup where one jig drags along the bottom and the other leads, designed to trigger a reaction bite (2:47-4:18). Baits: The creator prefers using white-colored Gulp! baits, as they provide better visibility in stained or murky water (4:42). Technique & Strategy (6:13 - 10:47):
Patience: Flounder fishing requires covering significant water rather than staying in one spot (6:16). Action: Use small, subtle pops while keeping the bottom jig in contact with the sand. You are looking for a natural movement that attracts the fish without lifting the lure too high off the bottom (6:42, 7:06). Spot Selection: Target sandy bottoms. Avoid areas with heavy rocks or oyster reefs, as you will likely snag or be outside the flounder's preferred habitat (10:04-10:26). Field Application (11:36 - 13:58):
The host demonstrates the techniques in real-world conditions, noting that wind and murky water can make fishing challenging. He emphasizes that if conditions are too rough, it may be necessary to return another day (11:42). The video concludes with a successful, albeit small, catch, reminding viewers that legal size limits (12 inches) are important to follow (12:37-13:14).
