Replacement arrived!By the way, I did forget to mention that the original lure did have a decent strike however as most anglers will attest you can get a hit kzread.infoUgkxCbNOWAGmn6nfbCbJDmasvBq7J38KZNw2 and fish will hang on and release lure. I used the replacement lure yesterday and ran thru a Shimano Waxwing, Kastmaster, Bobber (set to sink). I found the does run deep (I casting on the flats 3.5'). Make sure you adjust your rate of retrieve and rod tip angle (up) to prevent getting snagged on bottom. Used it a couple of times and action was very lifelike (looked like local bait fish for trevally), craftsmanship very good....however eyeball fell out. I asked for replacement and it is on it's way! It was very easy to change out treble to single inline hook.

As an old retired marine biologist and fisherman, I love when the science shows up in the video. Don't know what you did in your previous life but I would suspect it had something to do with research. You isolate variables as best as possible and that gives it away. Excellent work and thanks.

Lol I agree. I feel like I didn’t pay enough for such quality content 😅

14:00 That black Seabass was like :"I see you Skinner, I know it's you"

This is easily the best bottom fishing video we’ve seen locally! Thanks JS!

This video is amazing this helped me so much for black fishing and helped me to tell the difference between a porgy bite and a blackfish bite thank you so much for amazing video

John, outstanding, this is PRECISELY what I experienced on a recent trip on the Western end. With boats all around me giving up and constantly moving around, I stayed on one spot and didn't pester with the rod too much. I used a stiff rod, strong line, tight drag and no slack in the line, to avoid being pulled into rocks. The result: a limit of larger blackfish in under 15 minutes while everyone else was catching shorts. SO YOU ARE SPOT ON WITH THIS VIDEO. WELL DONE!

Most educational fishing video by the master. Thanks John Skinner!!!!

I’ve been waiting since Florida and you didn’t disappoint…seeing exactly what’s going on below and your commentary gives me a better insight into building the bite and ignoring the other taps

Thanks for sharing. Your commentary is priceless. You do a great job explaining detail in all of your videos.

That was AWSOME! Mind-blowing footage. Great job

best underwater black fishing footage i have ever seen, thank you John!

Great footage! Reinforces “patience”!

John , AWESOME!!! we need more of these!! I love these under water videos.

John, this is the best underwater fishing video I have ever seen. Great job as always.

Great video John. I'll never look at black fishing the same again, you really took the guess work out of the game. Thanks!

Holy Moly !!! Stunning footage, excellent content John. Thanks for sharing it with us. Can’t believe how those small fishes are pecking on bait even before it hits the bottom

Thank you so much. You really go out of your way to help us understand these concepts. Blackfishing is a whole different ball game.

Always an inspiration Mr Skinner Thanks for sharing your knowledge and Adventures.

Thank you Mr Skinner. You have pushed me to make this purchase. I to have a fascination of whats under water

This answers so many questions! Patience definitely rules the day!

You have excellent footage in your past videos but this is the best by far!!!! Loving the new set up!

I am an old working engineer and I agree with the old retired marine biologist :) priceless video! very educational and very fun to watch. you are definitely helping me become a better fisherman! thank you!

That footage was awesome. A surf caster that hasn’t been out in the water he’s fishing could probably use that drone to survey the bottom and locate structure from the shore. It was surprising to see the fluke still there. Thank you for making this video, I always learn something from you.

John, Great video! I'm amazed at the grate footage you were able to get to share. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

Best fishing video ever!! Also a great way to find a great fishing spot

That’s Awesome, John!!! Really Cool footage! Very educational.

Amazing footage John! Thanks

Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing John.

Love the underwater video angle of this. The camera angle really shows what's going on very well.

I leaned a lot about black fishing thanks. I know you have to be smart to catch them because they are very smart.

There he goes! haha. I do a fair amount of underwater stuff myself and people really just can't appreciate how hard it is to get the shots you're after. I've spent 2 years trying to get a big sheepshead to eat a jig on camera. Great stuff!!

Spectacular editing and documentation!! Technology and fishing, perfect.

Fascinating stuff. Thanks for the education !

Fargin awesome...thank you!

Unbelievable footage John!

Thank you John, nice footage and narration👍🏻

This is seriously top quality content!!

Great video loving those underwater videos. I learned a lot about there feeding habits and i knowing when to set the hook. Thanks John..

Hey John... Thank you for this most insightful video!!!! Interesting, fun and educational!!!💜

Great video John!! Helpful to see what's going on down there.

Great job John. Lessons learned 👍🏿

Very cool stuff! Amazing

John, that was amazing! Thank you

Thanks for the great Content John, this video gave me a whole new perspective on Blackfish fishing. I used to set the hook to early and loose a lot of fish, after understanding their behavior more I did much better out there.

Great footage! So cool to see this perspective.

Excellent underwater video, learned a lot from it! Thank you

Worth its weight in gold. Thanks so much for this!

Useful information presented with a sensible commentary free of egotistical 'dramatics'.

This is the coolest video i have ever seen related to north east fishing

This is amazing video. Nobody else does things like this.

This is fantastic. I would love to see a side by side with the video synchronized.

Well done, your perseverance paid off. I like how you show some of the humbling hurdles before getting to this point as well. The footage and your commentary are both revealing and reinforcing, so thank you. I agree with your observation on lifting the jig too much, crazy that this was seemingly a slower day from up top, I think you will even notice differences in the blackfish behaviour later in the season after the porgies and other interference fish leave, that is if you are still around in November... Looking forward to your future experiments with this and how you overcome the new hurdles that go along with them

Great video, totally different than what I thought was happening down there.

Beautiful video thank you!

Great stuff. Fun to see what goes on down there. Even diving and spear fishing you don’t get a sense of what happens without us spooking the fish into their holes. I wish our water clarity was as good off DelMarVa but it rarely is.

Great job as usual. Wish I still had my boat. I used to enjoy black fishing. I'd grab Asian crabs at the local beach under rocks. Western long island sound for me.

john great video! this is the perfect video for instruction for beginners who don't know how to wait thru the taps before setting the hook. 2 of my children are both avid fishermen like their dad and this is the perfect way to illustrate the message. keep em coming... dan from LI

This is amazing!! And a spot lock drone!!

John, you are a class act! Love what you post.

what a great video. I learned a lot watching this. Always wanted to see how fish reacted.

That underwater video is the bomb hope to see more of it

That looks like an aquarium! It's crazy, because I used to think there was nothing much going on down there in these northeastern waters.

Great video John - very informative!

Love the video good stuff Skinner you are the best

This is one of the most informative one yet

Nice video! What a competition for a bait between many spices!

Eye opener. Thanks for the education as usual

In your long history of great and informative videos this my be the best one. Amazing.

Love your video sir thanks for posting

Thanks to your video, I have a better understanding of the situation at the bottom of the sea!

Man what epic footage sir! Thank you 🙏🏼

Great job! That was super fun and interesting!

John, you work hard and go through a lot to ultimately obtain this super quality content. Just phenomenal, and Emmy worthy! Thanks.

Thanks Leon. Two days prior I shot three hours of total crap with the other camera. This worked a lot better.

Really great video. I learn so much from you.

John, first of all I love all your content. This video hit home with me. I have taken similar footage. I first started with a GoPro rigged on a parachute cord and a heavy weight to pull it down. That worked in low current calm water similar to this footage. Now I use a GoPro on 28’ telescopic pole and as long as the current isn’t too strong the video is very stabile and a amazing.

Excellent video, very informative.

Your underwater videos are the best!

Very nice John.

Thank you John

Amazing footage

Thanks John. Can't wait to get out

@@johnsweeney1400 John you make me feel famous responding to my comment haha I am honored. Watching this further reassures that as long as you are getting some type of small taps or whatnot at a spot right away usually there is blackfish there not all of the time but a lot of the times.

thats was awesome system of fishing innovation.

john this is simply tremendous! WOW heading out tomorrow, now I won't be able to sleep tonight!

Excellent video

You make the best content. Great video

That is so cool!! Great video.

Wow! Surprising & marvelous! Finally an answer to the fisherman’s constant question. What is going on down there? Very cool. Thank you for a great video.
