Nothing like spending the day on the water fishing with your buddies. Especially when you get on some good fish. Nice video as usual.
Hello John, great video as always… I've learned a lot watching means please keep them coming!
A set up question… I use the same set up as you. Braided line to a swivel… Leader to a TA clip. But it seems like the swivel is beating up my rods. I've have three different rod and all three have had guides pop out and even one entire tip come off.
Is there a type of rod or a specific make and model you recommend that will prevent this?
The WHITE rod REALLY lets you see the taps and hits WAY better than any of the other videos and i think i have seen all a few times over,great job please keep it coming!!!
I love how you're so serious and educational when you're by yourself, then you can take the shit talk and give it back to the other Johns. The way it should be
Love your videos John! Keep up the great work!
Highly enjoyable vid.
Haha love that you didn’t edit out the net miss at the end. Gotta laugh from that. Very nice blackfish outing, well done
I have had many days like this. Fairhaven, Marion, woods hole.... Massachusetts,
do you charter????
Good fishing
There's something about blackfishing that brings out the ball busting in everyone! Great video, a lot of fun to watch. Gonna go out this weekend, and screw it, I'll try the jig. I usually use the snafu rig with a whole white legger.
Do you loose more rigs with snafu vs single hook?
fshng2fish not that I've noticed. I actually get hung up less than ppl using one hook for some reason. And I fish in some very sticky structure. Once I switched to the snafu rig I've caught many more 10+ pound fish than I did with a single hook. Works best with white leggers. I've also used the slider rig but I'm not a fan.
some of those tog were so big they looked like GROUPER!
How long of a leader do you tie from the braid to jig??
Around 3 feet.
That white rod makes it easy to see the tap tap tap.
Do you keep the drag the same if you want to Jetties
Pretty much.
Time index 12:13: “waiting to feel the fish “pick it up . . .” Can someone describe that feeling? Taps I know, but “pick it up?” Does line go slack or something, feel a bit of tug? I’m curious. Thx.
ST Richards it can feel like your line swimming away OR your line can just go slack (they either swim up or towards you). It's a very subtle feeling and difficult to describe.......
I can add to this by saying if you have ever crabbed by hand with a line, it's the same as when the crab takes the bait and you notice it moving along the bottom at a smooth pace.
Hey John what size reel should I put on my tsunami Slim wave ?
2000-3000 depending on your preference.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing ok thanks
@@JohnSkinnerFishing I’ll go with a 3000 reel
John, could you tell me what type of jacket you are wearing during this shoot? Looks cool!!
It's a Stormr, the heavier neoprene model. Not sure of the model name. Either Stryker or Typhoon I think.
John Skinner Fishing that's what I thought. Some have said that it's almost 'too warm' of a jacket.
at 6:10 you say it's quite a battle cause the other guys using 10lb braid. Why? is it jut because they need to be more careful applying pressure as it could break? thanks.
Absolutely. 10# is kind of light for this, but allows use of the lightest weight jigs. When you hook a big one, too much pressure breaks the line, and too little allows the fish to cut you off on bottom structure.
Did you shorten that tsunami rod?
A couple of inches. I don't hesitate to do that to adjust the action.
What's the length of the rod you're using in this video
6'4'', there's a link in the video description.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing ok thanks but when I went to the link the 7ft was high lighted
Hi John, can you specify the length of rod, you mentioned 15-30 lb but I can’t find which length that would be, thanks!
So what is the limit there per person ???
4/person, 16 inches.
thoughts on the 7 ft rod? i was pretty set on getting the 6'4 med hvy slimwave
I haven't handled that one, but I agree, the specs as listed look better for this application.
Great video! I have a Penn Battle II 3000 with 15# PP braid that I'd like to try using for blackfishing. What size leader would you recommend? Thank you.
Nice combo. Kind of long, like 3-feet so you can retie a few times without it getting too short.
Ok sounds good. And thank you for the quick reply.
Hey John, now that you fished the slim wave and slow pitch, which one is your preferred jigging rod for tog? thanks
In shallower/lighter I think I'd prefer the slow pitch. My plan for the next trip is 10# on the slow pitch, and 15 again on the slimwave. You might want to check out that 6' 4'' slimwave. Specs look good.
Great video John. What size hook would you say the jigs are made of? Looks like you put 2 half crabs on one hook , is this required for the big ones?
Not sure. Not two half crabs, but a half and a small asian.
Outstanding fishing day.
We rarely get Blackfin that size in the Chesapeake Bay.
Love the vids! !💯💪👊LET'S GO!!!

Will the white jig be available at some point?
The one I used was actually "asian crab" color. Honestly I would have used chartreuse like I did on the kayak vid but I was out of them.
Ya I like the chart too, that's what I've been using. The small hook on this jig is awesome, I've been looking for a jig like this for a couple years now. I know it doesn't matter much but I would like to try white,some people swear by it.
The "golden clam" color is mostly white.
The one I got was brown, one of your thumbnails shows a completely white jig, I was just curious.

You on a battle 5000?
Clash 3000
Do you think I can catch blackfish with a tsunami evict 2000?
That's the reel I use now.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing would you recommend using braid or mono with it?
@@JBproductions152 15# braid. Never mono.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing thanks John
More information please! As a beginner I would love to know more about the habitat you are fishing? Big rocks? deep water? Thank you!
40 feet. Rocky
Thanks John!
"Screw all of ya's"
Yeah that sounds like a boat full of guys blackfishing
Yes prior to that it was being pointed out that my only usefulness on the trip was to allow for a larger combined bag limit for them to fill. It turned around for me when I switched to the white crabs. When the bite was really on, they hit everything. Fun trip for sure.
There's something about blackfishing that brings out the ballbusting more than any other kind of fishing. Not sure why, but it's certainly an established phenomenon.
Boy John, I wish I could find fish like that on the South Shore! I've been trailing my boat (17' Sea Way, Center Console) to Captree most of the time and have been meaning to explore available ramps on the North Shore. (Looks like this is the start of my exploration.) Do you know of any that you do not need a permit for? Or are there any that I might qualify to get a permit? I live in Great River on the South Shore. Love your stuff and I learn a lot. Thanks ahead of time. - Jeff
Jeffrey, this link will point you in the right direction. www.dec.ny.gov/docs/fish_marine_pdf/liboatramps.pdf
Why do the use such light tackle especially when they are fishing for blackfish?
Just more fun for me. With the light tackle I can feel the difference between a bergall, sea bass, porgy or black fish. I had a 5/8 oz jig on for the day and most of my black fish picked up the jig and swam away with it. I could watch my line moving through the water, then set.
Why wouldn't you if you could? A LOT more fun than heavy conventional gear and I'm convinced you actually catch bigger fish. As John Sweeney pointed out, the bigger blackfish can pick up a light jig and swim away with it. Good luck doing that with a bottom rig with heavy lead.....they feel the weight and spit the bait.....
And to add to what the other Johns said, those light jig weights under those conditions were only possible with very thin line, like 10 or 15-pound-test. Those lighter lines require lighter rods. In that setting, the result is more fish and a heck of a lot of fun.
Awesome!
Hahaha - AMAZING video but an even better day with lots of fish and laughs (despite the perpetual and rabid Antihalkism)!
When you learn how to net a fish, maybe the laughs (on your account) will stop.
