  • Gulp finally lost out on one of my many attempts to out-fish it with another scented lure. Over 30 weakfish (Sea Trout) were boated in the experiment, and the Mossy Mullet bit.ly/MyCusto... scented with bit.ly/JohnSki... easily out-fished Berkley Gulp. Jumbo bluefish complicated efforts by attacking anything they could chase down.

    I am happy to see what looks like another solid year for weakfish. I remember my first one I ever caught. It was in 2000-2001. It happened to be on a fly rod and I swore it was a keeper bass until we got to see it. Man they fight well. Great video as always Mr. Skinner and thank you for what you do.

    Nice to see the big Weakies. They seem to come in waves, like croakers. Some years are great, then many poor years. We used to fish live spot for them in Jersey early in the morning. I did try that left hand reel idea several years ago. Drove my son and I crazy and we sold the left hand reels fast!

    I’ve used a pretty sharp jigging action for weakfish. It’s interesting to see you do the slow lift.

    • @joegrande4848
      @joegrande4848 ปีที่แล้ว

      Can use a slower jigging method for a lot of fish. Also the conditions play a factor and how active the fish are. Sometimes a longer pause and slower retrieve then sometimes a shorter pause with a fast retrieve. It's good to try fast moderate and slow retrieves to see what fish react best to.

  • @larad3827
    @larad3827 ปีที่แล้ว

    I tried the Mossy Mullet as a teaser above an 80gm jig for sea bass yesterday. It was awesome. Limited out quick on jigs, with many double hookups in a row. I was pleased that the paddletail did not foul on the hook, as usually happens with a paddletail on a teaser in deeper water. Glad I bought the 100 pack, and will definitely try for fluke as well. Good Stuff.

  • @reelguysfishing
    @reelguysfishing ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Always LOL when people say the handle for a baitcaster should be on the left side for a righty. They are probably the same ones that hold the spinning rod upside down and reel backwards! Grew up in Jersey doing this same fishing out of Sandy Hook and Point Pleasant and I remember those days. Good to see fish that size again.

    • @fredfable5655
      @fredfable5655 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    • @davidbulanowski1091
      @davidbulanowski1091 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I don't think so. A casting reel with the handle on the left side was designed to be cranked with your left hand. Whichever way you feel comfortable with is fine.
      I was on a party boat recently, and watched some jasper who rented a spinning combo, then held it upside down,cranked it backwards until he unscrewed the handle and dropped it in the ocean.
      Watching the people who put the spinning reel handle on the right side drives me nuts because they have to keep switching hands to do anything.
      That's the same thing that always drove me nuts with the old conventional reels.

      If it's any consolation...... I used the Dr. Juice on zoom fluke jerk shads along with several others fishing on a dock, and have seen the scented zooms cull more fish. Not sure if the Salt Strong lures would fare any differently but I am starting to be a bit more optimistic on the scent

      @Skolmann ปีที่แล้ว

      @@MichaelP0418 scent is definitely an advantage (& I use both Pro-Cure & Mr. Juice scents often). My question is was the scented Salt Strong plastic more effective because of the Mr. Juice being applied or is Mr. Juice more effective than GULP when applied to any plastic ? If so, than the test was between GULP & Mr. Juice and not between GULP and the Salt Strong plastic.
