@TylerLL2112 4 года назад

I had a fluke that was camouflaged on both sides. It wasn’t a keeper and the phone that had the picture was destroyed by water 7 years ago.It was so neat..I wish I still had the picture. That was a mutant fish that wasn’t weird but, rather a unique thing to see.

Love your videos, John. Started watching them last year when I bought my first salt boat, and started fluking last year. Yesterday my daughter caught a 12 lb. 4 ounce fluke between CT and NY. Reminded me of this video so I had to come back and watch it. Thanks for the great stuff you put out there.

Hello John, I just purchased the quantum AC100 HPT for wading and inshore fluking/small game purposes. What rod would you recommend? I don't know much about baitcasting reels to match up a proper rod. Just finished reading "A Season on the Edge" while on vacation, good read thank you.

@scottbecker5700 5 лет назад

Great video as always! Have you noticed a difference regarding which side of a ledge you fish? For example have you notice better fishing on the down side (going from 60 feet to say 65) compared to the upside (going from 65 to 60)? Thanks again,Scott

@JohnSkinnerFishing 5 лет назад

Downside slightly better because they use the current to wash food over the top and they can lay out of the current and ambush.

@josesantana561 5 лет назад

Great video and as always very informative John. I'm struggling with the light action rod (I believe) you and the jigging jerks use? Wouldn't a light action rod absorb most of the jigging action at the end of the rod??

@JohnSkinnerFishing 5 лет назад

That nexus H with 4 inches off the tip handles 2-6 ounces nicely.

Which one? But the answer will be "yes".

@RikkiTikkiTavi290 5 лет назад

Wow that fire was BAD. Fire on a boat is really scary. I almost had the same situation last week when an old lighter stayed on after being put away and torched a paper towel roll and other flammable things. Caught the fire just in time. Was several miles out into the ocean and this was perhaps my worst boating mishap in 20 years. Gotta stay safe.

What day was this trip?

@craigbasile2259 4 года назад

Hi, that boat was my family’s boat. It’s was a 1987 25’ Searay Sundancer named boatwiser. We just had it serviced at lighthouse marine in Greenport for shift linkage adjustments and my parents just put in in the water the day after. The blowers where on in the boat at the time of the fire. There was a gas leak coming from the carburetor that we where not aware of. And gas was filling the hull. They where in the middle of turning the boat around to head back when it exploded.

@JohnSkinnerFishing 4 года назад

Wow. I'm so glad no one was hurt. It was a shock to see how a fiberglass boat burns. Thanks for giving the background on what happened.

John, I fish near you I live on the Niantic river so we are both fishing the long island sound. I'm looking for the best all around baitcaster I can buy. What do you recommend? I want longevity and quality. What is a good rod to pair it with? Mainly fluke FYI

@JohnSkinnerFishing 5 лет назад

Check the gear links in the video description. I'd go with the nexus, trimmed 4 inches off the tip, quantum accurist, 15# braid, 30# leader.

@DeepForestDecks 5 лет назад

@@JohnSkinnerFishing If you don't mind me asking what makes for say the Nexus better than the trevala S by Shimano and the quantom better than a high end Shimano bait caster. I'm newer to the fishing scene and discovered your channel and you inspired me to begin fluking. I actually just picked up some of the orange gulp that you recommend in a previous video!

@JohnSkinnerFishing 5 лет назад

I use the quantum because of the flipping switch feature, which no one else has that I'm aware of. The Nexus is currently my favorite rod for this fishing, but I have not compared it to the trevalia.

I've watched nearly all your videos. They have helped me go from a few here and there to potential limits if I kept them. First person to show me a bucktail for flounder and I've been using white 3/4 oz buck paired over pink 4 inch gulp mullet. Killing em with that combo. You mention orange alot; is that your go to color or one your researching currently?
