I have a hard time staying calibrated.

For some reason oranges and bright fluorescent red/orange always intrigue me for fishing. Even freshwater fish attack them like crazy!

Good sign of a experienced fisherman. The other guys are talking and socializing and you Putting fish in the box. My Late Father always told me you can talk and socialize after the trip. Nothing wrong with it but time is limited and you can’t catch them if your line is not on the bottom. I have never caught one on the couch.

Every time i watch your new videos i literally grab my gear and go down to the marina!! Thanks for keeping me motivated and constantly showing everyone tips.

J and H owes u. I just picked up the rod and reel and a bunch of glass minnows and John Skinner buck tails and of course a bunch of WHITE 4 inch gulp..... so I guess I have to call to see if they have this new color and put some gas in the car. Can’t thank you enough John for all of your videos. You have actually turned me into someone that catches more fish out of Huntington. Not on your level but with your help, we’ll see..... excited.

I'm happy to hear you're catching there. I heard it was better there than to the east this season.

Stop complaining. Aren’t you glad that John shares any new info that he gets? I’m grateful. Not his fault that suppliers don’t keep up.

Very insightful videos. Your humility when catching fish is quite refreshing. Some have curbed their enthusiasm others have not...keep keeping it real.

Love the enthusiasm on the intro to the new color you truly are a legend!!!!!!

John, I've seen that you''re a very "i want everyone to have a good time fishing" kind of person (at least that i see from the vids). i dislike when people make a potentially relaxing/past time into such a competition. love how you share the wealth and try to help people without being too brash. i think your constant net conflict between you guys is quite comical and my only selfish wish is that you produced more videos but i understand the work involved! learning a bunch .. keep that content coming!!

As always great video man! Your narrative skills are flawless!

Thank you for another awesome video John!

Hi John, great info on the new color. Thanks, Mickey

I've noticed red colored lures in general are just 🔥🔥🔥. Can't wait to diamond jig cod and sea bass with them this fall/winter!!

Well done, John. Lure colour choice is always an interesting topic. I've got some 5" Jerk Shad but not had the chance to use them on bucktails yet. Just looking to see if I can get some of those salmo grubs this side of the pond. I haven't seen anyone over here using Gulp added to lures and I'm just waiting on some decent weather and a recuperating charter skipper to try some.

One heck of a trip! You were reeling them as fast as you got the line back out.

Is it ideal too slow drag the buck tail tipped wit gulp grub off the shallow end of jetties.or this kind of lure is better for jigging

Hi john, in the past you put some emphasis on hook eye placement of spro and S&S minnow bucktails for rapid vertical jigging, the new s&s John skinner fluke bucktails don’t look like they hang level, is this because they are swing hook bucktails or is this done to help deal with scoping out during a less than perfect drift?

In my experience yes. The eye is more toward the front with a big eye to help reduce action when scoping out.

I live on the south shore in Massachusetts. Have you fished any beaches here ? If so can you make any recommendations ?

John, just curious about the bucktail. I've started to try your techniques and I'm wondering if the bucktails you use have any sort of keeper on them to help hold the soft plastics like a normal jighead would? I seem to lose a lot of my soft plastics from the bucktails because they don't seem to be made with the additional soft plastic tip in mind.

@JohnSkinnerFishing

The 6-inch Gulp grubs that we use do not come off these hooks. There was no need for a keeper. I've tried other Grubs (ZMan, PlugBait) and there's no issue with them sliding down.

25# is fine. I'm using 30# here because the bottom is so rough and the leader gets a lot of abrasion.

Pick a day where you can get out on a reef or wreck in late july to August. After some solid warm stable weather with no storms. You should be able to catch.

I have always stuck to something familiar back when I was using bait..... squid and spearing. For these high-low rigs that you have helped transition me into, I have found the Gulp Sand Eels to be killer on a teaser with a white Tsunami glass minnow skirt (Or some other white teaser), and either a white or nuclear chicken grub on the bottom. Last trip I was on this setup was magic I enjoyed the breakdown here. I think red colored bait in general is a killer for anything really. Would be interested to see whether you could replace the pork rind bait with this for striped bass, and have either the same, or better results

Great work. Question. I noticed in a number of videos you guys net the fish different at times. Technically the rim should be bent up but I noticed a few times it was the opposite way. Maybe a talking point, IDK. I am not trying to bash you in any way, just was wondering if you noticed this or if there was a method to why. Keep up the good work. I have learned a lot from you guys

@JohnSkinnerFishing

You will notice I always have the rim bent up, unless the fish was already near the surface and I didn't have time to flip it. I think this video shows me making a point to flip it that way and straighten the net before netting. I agree with you that the rim should be up.

Red is the first color that goes in water. After 3 feet red looks black, this is because of light absorbtion by the water. So my question would be how well does a black gulp work? I would think that it would resemble an eel.

John, I see you use a lot of white with green, green with yellow and pink with white. Is there any color combination that you would not use? Or that do not go together? I was surprised when you said you used all white and did very well. How do you know what colors to use....water temp?.....depth?.....water clarity?

There's no proven formula I'm aware of to know what the best color is under given circumstances. White is never a bad choice. Pink seems to work best in the presence of squid. I like New Penny when the fish are on crabs and shrimp.

Hi John, before you set the hook, sometimes you pause jigging (but you know you are going to set because you bring your left hand to the rod), like you do at 11:40 in this video. Why do you do that? I thought you advocated setting the hook immediately once you feel weight on the line. Thanks!
