Was just trying to get a couple of keepers when this 27-incher hit my Gulp shrimp on the beach lip. The wash had lots of sand fleas and almost all of my hits were in tight. A nice summer option when the surf isn't too big.

After watching underwater videos of bucktailing, bait strips, and killie on a floating jig head and seeing the fluke follow all of these for long distances, the killie on a plain hook view is interesting because there was no following - they just ate it and fast. That said, the killies didn't attract fish like other offerings. In fact when I switched from the killie on a fluke candy teaser to the plain hook, my action dropped right off. Out of all of these methods, nothing has come close to the productivity of the bucktail and teaser both tipped with Gulp. Through all of these videos I'm bucktailing and getting way more action on the bucktail rod. This is consistent with the comparisons we did fishing when Gulp first came out and I was still skeptical about it.

After watching the underwater strip bait video that I did a couple of weeks ago, I wanted to see how fluke react to live killies. Some more fun underwater action. Enjoy.

This was recorded in Long Island Sound on Friday. What amazed me most is the speed and violence with which they strike the bait strips. I wasn't surprised that they prefer the bucktail and Gulp combo over the meat, but it was interesting to watch them pass on one to go after the other. This is the first time I've been able to get both the bucktail and meat in the same video frame. Enjoy.

Here's an uninterrupted and unedited 18-minute fluke drift where I was trying out a Tsunami Glass Minnow teaser. You can definitely do just fine with a Gulp grub on a bare hook for a fluke teaser, but I have to admit the Tsunami teaser worked real well and seemed to stretch the life of the Gulp. The hook is excellent. I really thought the shank was a little short, but that just meant there was no room to pull the grub (4-inch swimming mullet) down. I thought the fish hooked easier too. I swung 22 times, hooked 21, landed 20 on this drift. 15/20 were on the teaser. I used the same two gulp grubs for the entire drift and then some. The fluke by me are moving like crazy this year. The spot where the drift was recorded was devoid of life a few days later. Areas that had nothing when this drift was recorded have the bait and fish now.

This trip started out looking like a loser with just some small fluke caught along the sandbar edges I started on. When I made a move to darker colored mud bottom, a got into a nice bite of better fluke that were spitting up small crabs. The Gulp Shrimp worked great on these fish. I should have switched to casting a little sooner when the current slowed because I was into an instant fast-paced bite when I did switch.

Last season when we didn't have sandeels in the areas where I fluke fish I noticed that the fluke that I cleaned often had small crabs and/or shrimp in their stomachs. This was particularly true in some of the muddier areas of shinnecock and moriches bays. I had some gulp shrimp that worked well in Florida, so I decided to try them for fluke, and they worked great. I normally use the 4-inch swimming mullets. Early this season in Long Island Sound we were again without sandeels, so I started fishing the shrimp again. On the trip in this video I did find sandeels, but left the shrimp on. My daughter and I had a blast on the fish, and a large percentage took the shrimp. They're very durable, because there's nothing to tear. They do slide up the line with a fish, but I just slide them back in position and rehook them. They're in the boat and yak to stay now. The trip is broken into two videos that are longer and less edited than usual, partly because a couple of people had asked me to expand on finding fluke, so I tried to do that. I also think less edited gives a better feel for what was going on. This was a fun trip a few days after my daughter's college graduation. Enjoy. Part 1 - Finding Fish Part 2 - Limiting out
