Pad_Crasher Posted January 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 The Skinner method just refers to rapid jigging. I don't think I have the right kind of noodle pole to be doing it anyway. Regular jigging is just regular jigging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChumSlickJon Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 I prefer the non skinner method, myself. Delete from SOL_Users where username like 'wasy','Seal'.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bayyaker54 Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Most times I’am not even using a jig, just gulp on a twisted dropper with a 1/2-3/4oz sinker retrieved painfully slow twitching the rod, keeping contact with the bottom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfish4me Posted January 14, 2019 Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) Early morning, beginning of the outgoing with just enough breeze to keep the gnats at bay. I fish south jersey just a little north of door gunner. One thing I did differently this year is make a bunch of trips with my buddy in his tin boat, been fishing the backwaters of Avalon and sea isle for 30 years .... except in a 24’ boat with a straight inboard.... the little boat with a trolling motor was like a whole new world. Up until this year my buddy had never flounder fished.... he’s hooked for life after this past summer. I was was able to scale down my tackle and fish a lot lighter, 10 lb braid ... 10 lb floro leader and did the most damage with either a 3/8 oz jig head and 2 1/2” finesse or a 1/2 oz bucktail tipped with spearing and a strip bait....I’ve always been a live bait guy, holding in place with the trolling motor and casting up into creek mouths produced a lot of flounder and a lot of keepers with the finesse. ... so much more fun than just drifting.... the weakfish and stripers as bycatch we’re fun too on that light tackle. Primarily used a st croix triumph 6 ft 6 rated 1/4-5/8 oz with a 2500 diawa..... Edited January 14, 2019 by bigfish4me Pad_Crasher 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fd4mcola Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) years back before beach replenishment ruined all the structure inshore we would fish a jetty on DB side of CM and catch flounder in the jetty pocket and rip at the end with a 1/2 oz white bt and a 5" squid strip by using a slow bounce and retrieve 5to 10 flounder in the 2 to 5 lb range were common all you needed was clean water and some tide movement but not now Edited January 15, 2019 by fd4mcola preacherscamp 1 TURN THE POACHERS INC&R IS GOOD BUY AMERICANLET FISHING BE FUN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tell people that I can feel a fluke piss on my gulp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoorGunner Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Higher tides and never shut down the motor. Can't even remember the last time I just drifted. Seems like there is always a wind blowing and wind just screws with flounder fishing. Letting the wind or the tide to control your drift just reduces your catch. Run the motor to control your drift and the odds are in your favor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
