- This was the first time I tried Gulp while jig fishing for blackfish. While the blackfish results exceeded expectations, there were some interesting surprises!

I have caught small tog on keitech swimbaits trying for schoolie bass !
I really want that trolling motor. Glad to see it works on boats over 20’
Steven Smith best investment ever. That and a fish finder. Pricelsss
At the end of this video....you make the best point, especially for fisherman who may not have the experience and expertise that you do. Using Gulp baits will at least get a bend in your rod.
If you're fishing for food, or just fishing for fun....you made your point. Always an education with you john. Cheers.
They eat clams so I generally use clams over gulp
I've been using that dehooker for years..great vids guys..I watch every vid you'd put out..even yours "JOHN WIT THE BEAUTIFUL BOAT"
I wish I could afford a trip..it's just not in my budget..but I love watching the vids..soon you'll putting the boat up for the winter..we'll have to wait till open season next year.😥😥😥😥😥
Thanks man - do you enter my sub contests? Have had the pleasure of taking 6 people out past two seasons through the sub contests
Jigging Jerks was the cod in the Long Island sound
Aaron D'Aversa yes
Awesome experiment! I’m gonna give gulp a try down here in Avalon on the jetty!
I fish Avalon too! The China wreck has been on fire for tog
Chandler Funk I was fishing the inlet jetty.
Great video. Only one question: how is the other guy not wearing gloves and only wearing sneakers out on the water in sub freezing temps!? Lol
as soon as you mentioned the" Shedder crab bait oil" i jumped on amazon and ordered some. Thanks again :)
Gulp makes a small crabs, that I’ve had very good tog success on
Chicken Scratcher Oh man. Had some in my boat this past weekend. Should have tried those. Always forget I have em. Cool to hear they worked for ya.
i don't even fish and i almost got fired for watching John Skinner vids all day.
I got blackfish so fired up the other day on the John Skinner jigs that they were eating the jig without any bait. Like they actually ate the jig (didn’t snag them )
These videos are a blast!! Thanks for sharing
John I received a dehooker as a gift and never used it either! I think I’ll give it a try!
Good content in this video. Thanks for taking the time.
Another great vid JS!! God to know if the crabs run out can still use that gulp stored away on the boat? Have you ever tried the little gulp crabs?
Caught many on the gulp crab
Ya'll fishing trips be looking really exciting 😁💯🎣🎣🎣🎣
do this with the underwater camera, it would be very interesting
Fresh 2 Salt Fishing good call!!
I've had some success fishing gulp for blackfish. In my opinion they work better before the water gets really cold. Also get them going a little with real crab and they definitely hit the gulp. Gulp sandworms work as well..
I only catch seabass on gulp. Have yet to catch any blackfish on gulp.....they are smart and know what to hit.
As always, love that you're testing different things. I tried the Gulp crabs last year and found they stayed on the hook for no more than two landed fish. No sea bass but didn't like using it because how fast I was losing them.
I tried them this year and had the same problem. Got tons of hits but the durability is not worth the money.
The Shrimp are much more durable.
Some say skinner drinks a cup of gulp juice every morning
You need to use the gulp peeler crab
Thanks
John did you try the Gulp crabs?I have had luck with those
More likely the gulp as opposed to the oil that gets the bass. Oil is an enhancement.
Was that cod catch in the long Island sound
Enjoyed the video immensely John. So now that you have shown us blackfishing from shore, kayak, and boat it can only mean one thing. A new book!! Hope so anyway. I will actually be going blackfishing on a boat for the first time in deep water I imagine. Would I be better off using a conventional setup versus a spinning setup? I have a Tsunami 7' MH (forget the model) paired with an Abu Garcia 5500C I believe. Should that suffice in case I need to use heavier jigs? Just want to be prepared for stronger currents out there. Would certainly appreciate your thoughts on this. Thank you and keep those videos coming.
With this cold weather the fish are moving deeper and you might need heavier weight. If that's a Tsunami Classic it will be a bit light over 3 ounces.
John Skinner Fishing It is a classic. I do have a sturdier rod. The reel is ok? Spooled with 20# braid?
Reel and line are fine. Beefier rod will cover you if you need 5+ ounces.
John Skinner Fishing Ty for the suggestions.
John, not sure how much deep reef fishing you do but it would be great if you could do a video on venting and recompressing a deep water fish with barotrauma. It's very much needed to help save these beautiful fish. While venting with a needle is better than nothing, there are 'recompression' tools like the 'SeaQualizer' and inexpensive release weights that have a much better mortality rate than venting. Here is more info...
@t
Does the de hooker work when the hook is deep inside a fish? Tog are usually hooked in the lip.
Would it be better if using gulp crab?
John Skinner not sure if you'll see this. But I was interested in purchasing your book on mastering the bucktail. I live in florida and target snook, tarpon, and reds with bucktails. I was wondering if what you've learned will translate to our fisheries down here in FL. I feel there could be some very beneficial information in there for me. Thank you in advance hope you see this comment.
The first tarpon I ever hooked was on a bucktail. I've also caught snook, reds, and trout on bucktails. And those were on quick visit trips to Pine Island. Also jacks, grouper, and big mangrove snappers in KW on another visit. Bucktails work on pretty much anything willing to hit an artificial.
De-hooking tools. Yes, that was the best type. For sharks, build a giant one with long handle using heavier stainless rod stock.
I caught 1 a few years back flounder fishing on a gulp I was like what a fluke 😂
I did the same thing this past year and they were out of season. I was so mad lol
Gulp is to expensive to use for tautog
Hi guys. I used high-low rig from the surf with 6" gulp worms and caught 10 blackfish in one afternoon. All 12-14 inches. The guys fishing with crab caught 0 blackfish that day.
Is it to late for a little Black fishing off the north shore beaches. Thanks
I'd say too late on the beach, but they're probably still in 20' of water.
SeaVee boats are the best! Nice sled !
nico morin thank you!
John let's share profits on this idea, remember the bubbalicios bubble gum you bite it and juice squirts out, make the gulp lure with a pocket that holds juice for when a fish bites ! Let me know.
Where can I get Those Jigs you are Using for crab baits? Thing is I live in Denmark maybe if you would give me the details of the jigs I can take it from there 😉👍
There's a link in the video description.
Where are you from and where do you fish I’m from Rhode Island and the places you go look similar to the waters around me
John when you're targeting blackfish are you feeling the bite or focusing on seeing it more ? Awesome Vid
Both
John, why do you use a spinning set up for blackfish but a baitcast/conventional set up for fluke jigging?
I use conventional with a flipping switch for one handed depth control when fluking. I don't need that for tog, and find the spinning setup more conducive for cranking almost on the hookset and moving the fish off the bottom quickly.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing that makes a lot of sense thanks for the reply.
Tight lines
Hi John new to your channel, how is the black fish compared to cod and sea bass?
In eating? It's almost as good as those IMO.
Gulp Extruded Bloodworms allegedly work for Blackfish.
Gulp also makes crabs.
What color shrimp are you using?
New Penny Fleck
Are you liking that Tsunami slimwave better than the slow pitch jigging rod you used in past videos? Does it have more sensitivity? Thanks for sharing
I like the faster taper better for this fishing because there's more backbone if I need it.
Thanks for replying.
So much for keeping the boat clean.
Richard Kohut quiet you!!!!! Would have been nice if you offered your dock to us to clean the boat after the trip
what kind of rod r u using,,,n do u recommend for black fishing ,,or any other rods,,,
Tsunami slimwave. There's a link in the video description.
interesting I fish gulp in a completely different fishery at the other end of the earth and some similarities firstly its not the fish slow to turn on to the bait but rather you slow to learn the bite after a while you will out fish your friend when your feel reflex tunes in secondly yo will catch more and unusual species as your bait moves more naturally and then once you get the technique then the size will rise exponentially.
You guys are persistent, awesome video , great information on the gulp cant wait till the next video. BY the way what a great boat to fish on
Anthony Marotta haha - almost sounds like you’ve fished on it before :)
Enjoyed your experiment.
Oh, Sure!... John Caught your keeper, lol...
Cast Boldly 😂😂😂
Wait a minute...you never used a dehooker?
How is that even possible??
My buddy tried the peeler crab right next to me he skunked I got 4 big ones no thanks gulp I'm a real crab believer.
Ohhh its coffee. I thought it was GULP JUICE.😂😂😂
Just when you thought @John Skinner Fishing was done changing the game for fluke fishing with gulp, he goes and changes the game for Cod fishing with gulp!
The gulp people pay him to fish with their products.
alley kat not true at all.
@@jiggingjerks how do u know?
alley kat because he is my friend and he’s shared with me the fact that he’s never received one penny from Berkley.
Well they should
15 lb braid? In the ocean? I use 15-20 lb braid on all of my medium and light action rods here to fish freshwater in the Ohio River near Pittsburgh. I'd hate to think what would happen if you got into some Kingfish or seatrout. In the ocean we used to use nothing but 30-50 lb mono. In Tampa and Saint Petersburg, it wasn't much of any work to get into some kings, trout, or even blacktip shark, but we always used a steel leader too.
Edit: I'm not trying to be a douche here buddy, I didn't realize that you were fishing near Long Island, so I don't really know what you'd be catching there. I think that it would be a good time working on medium tackle in that area. Fishing there and in Tampa Bay are two totally different things. I'm just not used to people saying that they're using 15 lb braid in the ocean, that's all.
The lighter braids are very strong and can handle much larger fish than traditionally expected. Mono is rarely used here, and most experienced anglers aren't going beyond 30# braid for inshore ocean fishing. You might enjoy this video of a 32-pound striper beaten in a reasonable amount of time on 8# braid. 10- and 12-pound flounder are also on this video th-cam.com/video/CAyZflPzuWI/w-d-xo.html
@@JohnSkinnerFishing Nice, thanks for the info buddy. I appreciate you.
About Time you caught a COD
Great video John but I was in a better place than you I was at work lol
You bring 2 8 gallon buckets of fresh water with you.
Craig from CT unfortunately, we only found out about the water when we got to boat....
@@26halkman Most places shut the water November 1. I live 40 miles from my dads boat and have a pickup so I never chance it.
As soon as you put the gulp down I thought “sea bass”...Also, I cringed knowing John didn’t flush his engines after the trip 😬
Tim Rudy first time ever that I didn’t! I bought salt away and will flush thoroughly with that when I pull boat in a couple of weeks.....
Can you edit out halkius voice ? Abrasive on the ears ......
madmedic366 I know!
