New to this channel but boy this is literally a breath of fresh air. No click baity titles, actual advice on how to properly handle fish and a style of videos where you can just enjoy the experience. Hats off to you sir
Just checked them out and they look like a style of plastic bait we call "slugs". Most people use them for saltwater bass in southern California . Never thought about rigging one up for bonito.
That's great John , we ran into them 3 times on Sunday off Milford Ct., unfortunately they had lock jaw, moving very fast, they were not feeding. Looking forward to togging. later.
Thanks for the reply. I've been using a 706z for the past 35 yrs or so, a conflict 2 lc would be a big change for me. It's that or a brand new 706z. Guess I've got time to decide it's 26 degrees with the wind blowing 35. Be awhile before I'm casting anything. C'mon spring. ..
can i make a humble suggestion? maybe use a pop filter over your mic, should help clean up your voice-overs. otherwise super informative, you always make it look too easy! wish we had albacore near shore on the west coast.
Vic Dunaway,s "sport fish of the gulf" descripes the food value as "Not highly valued, but very good when lighter meat is separated from the darker" my brother eats it. But if you can catch them you can catch something better.
Hi John, what a great video, looks like your having a blast with those feisty fishes. What do you think of the conflict 'll long cast? Thinking about putting it on a mojo 10-6.
Hello John, Do you think a 50 lb. Tactical anglers clip at the end of 20 lb fluoro would be ok to have option of switching out lures. Instead of tying direct? Thank you
Yes, the 50 lb. Tactical Anglers clip at the end of 20 lb fluoro is just fine. I've caught albies with this setup. Look at the Deadly Dick lures. They have big barrel swivels on them. If albies don't notice those big barrel swivels, they're not going to notice the 50 lb. TA clip. Just don't try to get away with any clip bigger than the 50 lb. The fluoro leader is a definite must have.
HI JOHN I love your videos and your narration is excellent. We have a house in the North fork, just caught first albie at Truman's yesterday but would love to know where your target spots are on the east end. Tx
Bader Al Essa the drag is comfortable at 15 but you can essentially lock it down past that, posted max drag is what the reel can handle without real damage
royalty axb Yeah I know. But if he told you where he is there would be loads of people there and that doesn't mean you are going to catch anything anyway. I know people who have given up their spots on social media only to ruin the fishing for everyone. It sucks but that's the way it is.

Thanks for the kind words and welcome to the channel.
You're a lucky man Mr Skinner.
Does life get any better than this?
Having albies in your own backyard and all to yourself to boot.
Priceless!!!!!
Those fish are incredible fighters for their size, and what a lovely day for it.

That water is gorgeous
Great video John. I enjoyed watching it.
Nice day for catching Albies! Thanks for sharing.
Another really good lure that came out is the Albie Snax it’s a soft plastic been working great
Luke Feeney I love those I use them for strippers, blues and pretty much everything else
Just checked them out and they look like a style of plastic bait we call "slugs". Most people use them for saltwater bass in southern California . Never thought about rigging one up for bonito.
Imagine if it was the same fish all three times. Btw i love this rod and thank you for providing a semi long video of fishing.
Do you see them busting in this situation or are you blind casting? great video, as always, thanks
That's great John , we ran into them 3 times on Sunday off Milford Ct., unfortunately they had lock jaw, moving very fast, they were not feeding.
Looking forward to togging. later.
Great video John!
Being quite old fashioned in still enjoying the challenges of light monofilament fishing for albies.
3:13 Albie EXPLODES on that Hogy
great review..never caught an albie myself..but they look like a blast on lighter tackle..
Thanks for the reply. I've been using a 706z for the past 35 yrs or so, a conflict 2 lc would be a big change for me. It's that or a brand new 706z. Guess I've got time to decide it's 26 degrees with the wind blowing 35. Be awhile before I'm casting anything. C'mon spring.
..
If you're doing hardcore surfcasting, I'd get the 706Z.
What a beautiful day
That’s great shore fishing right there! 🤙
can i make a humble suggestion? maybe use a pop filter over your mic, should help clean up your voice-overs. otherwise super informative, you always make it look too easy! wish we had albacore near shore on the west coast.
I appreciate the suggestion!
You should do a winter flounder video
I couldn't catch those if my life depended on it.
Really? To me it seems like it’s a lot harder to get a fluke
Do you prefer(just in amounts of fluke not convenience ) gulp or bait strips
gulp
Do you ever use squid skirts with a spinner for fluke
Vic Dunaway,s "sport fish of the gulf" descripes the food value as "Not highly valued, but very good when lighter meat is separated from the darker" my brother eats it. But if you can catch them you can catch something better.
John's next catch and cook. False albacore. Haha!
such beautiful fish and waters we have here on LI im yet to catch my 1st albie!!
Hi John, what a great video, looks like your having a blast with those feisty fishes. What do you think of the conflict 'll long cast? Thinking about putting it on a mojo 10-6.
I really have zero experience with longcast reels. I'd like to hear people's thoughts on them.
Hi John.
Was there any action on the surface before you decided to fish the area or are just familiar with it?
Hey John, great video thank you. I didn’t hear any birds or see them breaking so how did you pick the spot?
Been trying to catch albies on the sound and was wondering if I have to go super Far East to catch them from shore
There are none so far this year that I'm aware of. East for sure when there are.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing ok thank you so much
Hello John,
Do you think a 50 lb. Tactical anglers clip at the end of 20 lb fluoro would be ok to have option of switching out lures. Instead of tying direct?
Thank you
K A tie direct for albies because they have good eyesight!
Yes, the 50 lb. Tactical Anglers clip at the end of 20 lb fluoro is just fine. I've caught albies with this setup. Look at the Deadly Dick lures. They have big barrel swivels on them. If albies don't notice those big barrel swivels, they're not going to notice the 50 lb. TA clip. Just don't try to get away with any clip bigger than the 50 lb. The fluoro leader is a definite must have.
Are those the new John Skinner Sandals found at J&H Tackle? ... I need them!
I suppose the new Clash II 4000HS or possibly 3000HS would be much easier to fish at such high speed.
Have you tried tungsten made jigs? It’s denser than lead casts like a rocket
Sandal down! Get the flares!
What draws you to a particular stretch of beach before targeting albies?
Where are you catching Bonita from shore?
Is there any particular reason you prefer green deadly disk lures? I have them in blue and silver. Is green better?
Habit and excellent past results. Next favorite is pink for me. I think the presentation is what's most important.
HI JOHN I love your videos and your narration is excellent. We have a house in the North fork, just caught first albie at Truman's yesterday but would love to know where your target spots are on the east end. Tx
james alfalla You and everybody else
Everyone familiar with the south fork east knows where he's standing.
John would a lurh Jensen crippled herring work for this type of fishing?
yes
buenas capturas, felicitaciones.
That’s what I’m looking for
Where in li is this lol bein trying to find a spot like this for awhile now
is penn conflict ii handle knob 4000 plug n play with gomexus knob?
Not sure.
5:18 you cannot break the line. your reel max drag is 15 lb vs 20 lb braid
Bader Al Essa the drag is comfortable at 15 but you can essentially lock it down past that, posted max drag is what the reel can handle without real damage
Is this north shore? Thank you
yes
In Hawaii we call them kawakawa
were do you catch these
Did i see a Penn conflict with slammer handle ?
I wish. That was a Clash with a slammer handle. I tried it on the Conflict and it didn't fit.
Where are you fishing from what state
ny
"Some people eat albies"
Some people eat dogs and horses too, but that doesn't mean it's something I want to try
so you don't want to keep the fish but you do want to make it late for something
Which size reel is that?
4000
What size conflict 2 long cast should I get for 9 foot rod
I would get a 5000
@@JohnSkinnerFishing ok thx. love your vids.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing is their a difference from the long cast and the regular
I have zero experience with the Long Cast.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing oh ok
Is this Long Island ?
Sandals LOL... get the revenue model but that's a bit over the top.
Are Bonita fish big ?
For these, in this area, a 10-pounder is a big one. North Carolina gets teen fish regularly.
Well there what you call a trophy fish, stop yeah there big.
What is the line Wieght?
20
John Skinner Fishing Ok thanks, so u think if I had 30 pound braid on it that I would be able to cast far?
I’m still trying.....fish on
Where is this? It sucks when you have the urge to go fish and cant get a bite to save your life!
royalty axb Yeah I know. But if he told you where he is there would be loads of people there and that doesn't mean you are going to catch anything anyway. I know people who have given up their spots on social media only to ruin the fishing for everyone. It sucks but that's the way it is.
@@robertgerber2533 I guess you're right. That's one way to look at it, hopefully I can stumble upon my secret spot someday
I’m not eating any Bonita aka.zipper fish.
Oh come on John,,,, try.
