I love the Rick set hook set…..😂🙌🏼🎣

Haha I was out fishing the eastern grounds this day. Blues were nuts, had one chomp a keeper sea bass in half on the retrieve. Tight lines!

Fishing picked up big time, went out on our new boat yesterday I had 7 keepers, had to pick up the slack for my dad and girlfriend 😂 killed them on the 6 inch chartreuse mullets

It appears that multiple colour presentations on the jigs are taking fish !!

I’m so sorry this microphone makes me look stupid what I meant to say was that I consider you the leading author on flounder fishing and there habits you have made my trips flounder fishing A lot more successful

That's great to watch.

The electronics on that boat are sick.

You gentlemen are fish catching machines! Great video as usually.

Hi, John. I bumped into a friend of yours surf casting at smith point beach about a month back I told her about the story of learning how to fish for fluke at the lip formation when it occurs in sand when ocean breaks kind of suddenly. I used glup in a high low rig light tackle and light rod and jigged. I caught the smallest fluke maybe 5 or 6 inches but it was so much fun because every cast was a fish on. sometimes two. She said you were a software at BNL. I'm a software developer myself and interned at BNL about 30 years ago when i was studying phyiscs as an undergrad.

Great catch! Last year I ran across a guy in South Texas that was catching a bunch of doormat size flounder. Of all things, he was using a bass crankbait! The lure would dive down and dig its bill into the sand as it was being cranked in. The flounder crushed it. Although skeptical, I tried it, and it worked! Just passing along an unconventional method that seems to work.

Nice job skinner, some good fluking from shore still with tons of bait around, was out yesterday morning had two 20” keepers in an hour b4 the tide died, been a good few trips now since I haven’t left with dinner, yesterday was a bit different tho, the fish where spitting up a ton of little flat fish, couldn’t tell if they baby fluke or flounder but it was interesting just how many they were spitting up considering they were caught under a clouds of rain bait, peanut bunker and spearing and had none of those three comin out

Hey @John Skinner FIshing , I have combed through your fishing the bucktail videos, bought the book and even watched some of the seminars you have given on other channels. In short here is my question: I'm fishing out of northern California, I'd like to get 30 minutes/1 hour maximum with you via a teams meeting or zoom call. I have looked at the structure on google earth and am having trouble pinpointing fish. The area is very shallow, but waves a big. The beach structure is not favorable for bucktails. How do I get in contact with you to make this happen? Thanks

Sorry. I missed it. Where are you guys fishing, or fishing out of. Great fluke fishing. My favorite.

It's very sad what fishing has become on the east coast.. when one has to buy a boat or spend $$ on a charter and still run East to get on the decent sized fish... I grew up on LI (Nassau County) and as kids we rode our bikes (rods tied to them) to any shore North or South and catch all we wanted and spend the day swimming in any of the local bays..... Today those fishing grounds are bare. Thanks to Commercial Draggers and pollution..

Nice flatties! I just moved to the VA Beach area and I'm going to start flounder fishin' as seriously as possible from shore. I wonder if a strip of Fish Bites or Fish Gum would be a good trailer? They have a bunch of flavors and I caught spots on Fish Bites by itself so fish eat it for sure. It's tougher than Gulp. I'll try it and if I do well I'll let you know. Getting back near the water is like getting my soul back after 6 years of the NC foothills. Once I'm more settled in I'll be fishin'. A lot.

Get otter tails instead, they have more action than fish bites and are just as durable

I don't think so, but these slightly weighted teasers with long-shanked hooks with barbs on the hook shanks hold the 6-inch grubs perfectly.

Question for you John, the salt strong mapping app… is it only for the southern states or does it include the New England area? Also George M

@JohnSkinnerFishing

10 ай бұрын

I checked with them to get the best answer: "Yes, we have “smart spots” coverage in the NE which is the Geofenced feature I described if the mapping software where it shows how likely based on tide, wind, season, etc a particular area is to hold fish. Our NE coach Rich is working with the system to add new spots daily. Their goal is to add an additional 10,000 smart spots before the end of the year with a solid chunk of those coming in the NE region. I know for Striper/Fluke many of the New England anglers use it for mapping under ground structure, drop offs with the depth chart, and sea surface temperature (all of those features are available across the US). The only features that are only prevalent from Texas to the NE is the Oyster beds/Sea grass layer (in applicable states), and Smart Spots (the geofenced highlighted areas based on conditions)."

You should not go heavier than 15 regardless of what you're fishing on. Doing so increases drag in the water, forces you to use heavier weights with less action, and pretty much messes up the whole approach.

This is just out of sheer curiosity but any reason why you like the white line from Berkley as opposed to chartreuse? I really like the hi-vis chartreuse line for fluking. It helps keep track of where my line is, whether it’s scoping or the subtle bite detection. Anyway , thanks John. Tight lines.

@JohnSkinnerFishing

10 ай бұрын

I'd prefer chartreuse for this application if I had it.

Something to consider when using bait casting reels, it’s like playing baseball, if you’re right handed you catch with your left,and throw with your right. Same here, hold the reel with the palm of your left hand, with your finger tips under the reel seat, not the handle. Your right finger tips under the fore grip. This I find to be a much more ergonomic and makes jigging much easier, and leaves your right hand in the best position to set the hook, and reel, no changing hands. That’s why those reels are shaped that way. If you’re left handed, do the exact opposite, with a left handed reel. I don’t see many salt water anglers doing this. Just my observation, give it a try, you’re wrist will appreciate it. Thanks.

@wallacesmith865

I’ve asked a million people….. no one has a legit explanation as to why any right handed (which most of us are!!) would be required to reel a bait caster with our right hand and hold the rod in our left??? Makes zero sense!! We don’t do it with our spinning reels!! Why would anyone want the rod in their non dominant hand?? I try to buy all my baitcasters left hand reel

I feel like you've said this before.. but can you explain the differences between putting your bucktail below your teaser vs above your teaser? I see it both ways alot. I am used to using my bucktail below my teaser with the teaser on a single T drop.
