Outstanding flat water day in the Sound. Love it when it happens
I like the way you release fish. So many people take them out of the water and hold them to tske photos.
Personally, these are my favorite videos that you do. When you just chat into the microphone, it’s entertaining. Guessing the species on the way up (almost always correct) is fun to watch. Your banter also gives us insight into how in-tune to fishing you are. At 1 point, you guessed you were about 10 seconds from your spot and I actually counted…spot on! It’s damned impressive. Keep up the great content John.
Thanks. I'm getting better at thinking out loud.
And of course, the one time you forget your cooler, you catch one nice Seabass after the other....
John, I love the idea of the second camera so we can see exactly what you're doing and how the bite reveals itself. One suggestion is that you put a second mount on the bow of your boat so that you can reposition the camera mount in such a way that it isn't looking into the sun when you record. The dark rod and it's shadow against the dark water makes it much more difficult to see than if it's the reverse. Other than that I love being able to see an alternative view of your action and strikes. Thanks so much for keeping me in the hunt long after I'm able to get out on the water. Cheers !
Screaming drag, made me smile.
Impressive . 6 species is quite the day I'd say. Great work as always
Someday I'd like to follow you around with a frypan. Great Job!
AND A COOLER 😉
John, thanks for the great videos!! You really know how to find the spots!! We were out same day but the currents were really strong and we couldn’t hold bottom. We ended up trolling the rip at the race light, caught stripers and blues 4 at a time. Thanks again for your wisdom and great content!
I've been struggling fishing lately. Watching you slam them was good to get my confidence up.
the best fisherman wont catch anything if theres no fish there. find a spot with fish first.
Best time of the year to fish. Get out there.
That was a hell of a day. Great video
I love that red rod will be acquiring soon
You'll love it. Took a while to get it how I want it. Perfect now.
They have to be some of the biggest sea bass. 😮
I thought that on the irish side of the Atlantic we were the only ones suffering from weather forecasts that were so far off the mark as to be the exact opposite of what was expected, seems you guys have the same problem. Top drawer fishing as usual John 👌
Nice fishing videos Jhon I like fishing for stripper bass here in central California 👍I have Lear a lot from your videos
Amazing how fast you can identify what species you have on the line. Those conditions looked good for a kayak.
The problem with a kayak here is that the fishing is done when the current is usually 1.5-3 mph.
Dynamite fishing!
Great video…. Happy for you
John wondering why you wouldn’t use the trolling motor if you target specific spots.
The current would sweep the jig away if I was spot locked. The current is generally 1.5-3mph in this fishing. Good question.
So if you were drifting in the inverse direction of the current would you have used the trolling motor?
If there was a wind against current situation, and there were no other boats around, I might.
Great trip….!!!!!
I believe an issue I’m having with light bucktsiling out East is my braid diameter
Braid smoothness is also important. You want an 8-strand braid, 10# for this.
I would love to mimic what you did in the video but the link for bucktail is always sold out. I guess I have to stick with my epoxy jigs.
You said you short drift the "spot." Last year you were using your spot lock to stay over the fish marks. Why not use the trolling motor to at least slow the drift over where you were hooking the fish?
Too much current here. Tho motor would hold it, but the jig would scope out.
great trip. grand slam plus two? what do we call that?
Nice trip John…can you possibly show what the Albies look like on surface next time you come up on a school?
They slash and thrash much faster than anything else.
That bucktail got a good workout. You may want to retire that one after a day like that. Did you ever re-tie? My rule is to re-tie after 3 fish, especially toothy ones like the blues and weakfish.
I feel the leader and re-tie if needed.
Thats a cooler on back of boat...i have the exact same one ? 4 cup holders in lid
I use it only for storage, and I didn't have ice.
Hey John, awesome video! I won’t be able to make it next Thursday… will you be at any other shows/conventions this year?
Maybe Ward Melville in March. Definitely RISAA Providence in March. I leave for Florida mid-december.
Can’t wait for black fish season
I wish they opened it earlier.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing you can still catch them just can’t keep
I don't think you can legally target tog out of season in NYS.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing oh really i didn’t know that
Perhaps a home made stringer could helped with the sea bass in lieu of a cooler.
Surprised you don’t catch some fluke there as well
John, you’ve been a fisherman for a long time. Is the Sound a healthy fishery? A multispecies slam like this makes me think so
I think the eastern Sound is healthy.
Hey John, member of the tin boat fleet. Just curious as with me how do the cost of each trip compare to the boys running the twin $300. I know being retired on a budget. I know new 70 set you back a bit but just normal fuel and being you fish artificials costs got to be pretty low. As always love your enthusiasm with every fish caught. Lucky day for sea bass. Tight lines ... walt
The last two boat video trips burned 4.8 gallons for the two trips. I know this because I topped off, did two trips, topped off again. Of course I carry extra gas besides that. A Montauk fluke trip on a big CC from Greenport can easily be 75 gallons.
When you have conditions like that would other color bucktails work , if you didn’t have the olive colored one ?
I'm sure white would have worked too. Tan is good also.
I would’ve made a stringer😂
Did you have 50# leader on, as in the link? You didn’t seem worried about breakoffs w the blue.
Yes. Prefer 30, but there have been blues lately.
Hi John greetings from UK.....I am a pleasure fisherman and fish for European Sea Bass in depths 15 to 50 feet. I intend to try your buck tail jigs in 1/8 & 1/4 oz and will order from J&H when in stock. Do these jigs imitate a food source where you are or do your Sea Bass / Striped Bass attack the jigs out of predatory instinct in your opinion ? I think they should work here in UK......would appreciate your valued comments. Best regards and thanks for all your content it is much appreciated !. Cheers Bernie
The jigs are a good match for what the fish are feeding on, which are small brown juvenile fish along with small crabs.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing Thank you we have lots of small Whiting here and small brown crabs that I find in the fish that are taken for the table so am gonna give them a try.....do you sell these on Amazon US ?
Not sold on Amazon.
U don’t use any trailer with Bucktail?
Usually, but not for this application.
No Gulp ? I like it !
Me too!
@johnskinnerfishing What informs that decision to go with/without a trailer? The bait fish here in SoCal are typically on the small side when shore fishing and it always feels like a buck+trailer is a huge presentation.
Will that technique work on a bridge or jetty?
It does.
Hey John, what was the braid/leader lb. test on the albie setup? Thanks!
20 braid, 20 Fluoro leader
Fast retrieve for the albies?
Very fast. Skip it on the surface.
And are you looking for simply the splashes? How do you know their albies?
They slash the water in a very distinctive way.
John I see the jig colour is more of an earthy tone . Is it better this time of year versus whites and pinks etc !!
It's representative of the stuff they'd be feeding on in the structure. White would probably work OK too.
What weight jig head are you using? Interested in mastering the snap jiggling technique. Attended one of John P’s seminars on it a while back.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing crabs etc
1.5-ounce.
Hi John what rod is that and what reel ??
I usually fishing in Montauk can I use that rod for fluke or Sea bass ?
Absolutely good for Montauk.

@@JohnSkinnerFishing thank you 🙏
I love your videos and thank for tips you share for fishing 🎣
Great video...just bought two of your set-ups....can't wait to put them to use....there was a cooler on the boat....so I am confused...no fish with your sandwich?
That cube thing is storage. I had no ice.
Enjoy the rods and thanks for your support!
I bought the reels too..lined them with 15 lb braid that is marked every 20 feet. Love the spiral wrap.@@JohnSkinnerFishing
You'll find the spiral wrap to be very comfortable if you haven't fished one before.
Ny state dec is sending out surveys on the idea of fee based registry
Received mine. What’s so different now about it when they had done that in the past & lasted a few years then they went to a no fee registry? Is the State looking to get revenue from the honest fishermen instead of fining the dishonest ones to make revenue?
How fast was your drift where you go up to 1.5oz? I usually snap 5/8oz but was drifting 1.5k+ that day, couldnt even hold bottom with 1oz and 10lb braid
1.5-3mph
Great Vid!! Just curious, do you ever eat weakfish (when you have ur cooler), or or they just not as good as as SeaBass, fluke or Blackfish?
Never. Gray soft meat that I don't like. Plus I'd rather not kill them.
I looked it up john weakfish ishes is a word it's called yuuumy lol great work video keep up the great work your friend Mike from nj 👍question john is weakfish name because of there lips aka mouth being weak that's what I was told ??
Yep. They named weakfish that way because of the lips, which really aren't that weak.
You make me want to move to long island
lol he fishes the very north east corner of long island. the rest of it is dead. literally nothing west of hortons point is worth your time.
Hello John. Can you eat the Albies. Thanks
Not really.
Hey John
What's best place to stay up there ??
No clue. Everything has gotten crazy pricey the last couple of years.
Not only can John sense what fish is on the line he knows the type of fish that’s biting or just swimming by.
But where’s the fluke?
Blu-J wiped out all the fluke!
Was all this caught using a bare buck tail? Any particular reason you didn’t use gulp as well? (Clearly don’t need it! Lol)
Too much drag for this style of fishing. It would also impede action and clearly isn't needed.
I saw a cooler on the boat 🤷🏿♂️😱😱
That's my storage box. No ice on the boat.
Where are you fishing?
Eastern Long Island Sound NY
lol rewind like 10 times cant see the tick in the line.
Are you watching in 4K? It's pretty clear. I even set the hook sitting at my desk when I see it.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing let me try on my desktop
barebones bucktail..
Was this on Friday? I wanted to go but figured the sound was gonna be chopped up! Now im depressed! 😂😂😂
Friday was blowing. You made the right call. Relax.
Received an email informing me I won a contest. Didn't know there was one in progress. Had a 202 area code number to reply to. Worried it may be hackers at work. See you Tuesday evening at show.
Definitely hackers. Impossible for me to prevent them from "phishing", where they respond to comments saying the poster has won something. I ban the user accounts right away, but more pop up.
The show is Thursday.
@JohnSkinnerFishing I know just seeing if it was really you Mr. Skinner.
Show the fish
I'm not sure I understand. You want me to hold it up and prolong the time it's out of the water?
🤙😎
Had to be today
