I fished various depths searching for Flounder (Fluke) and found a pile of them hitting aggressively on the slope of a drop off. A few striped bass were caught at the beginning of the trip as they pushed bait to the surface.

Your boat is great; it's 100% utilitarian yet you're arguably the best fluke fisherman in the United States, maybe the world. John Skinner the legend. Another great video.

@texasyank48 4 года назад

Your videos brought back so memories of fishing with my father back in the 1960s. In the spring we’d fish for flounder out of Seaford. We’d catch 80-120 flounder. He’d keep 20 or so, then set me up with the rest on the sidewalk at the end of piers where the party boats docked in Sheepshead Bay. I’d sell them for 2 for a buck, made enough to pay for the boat and motor he rented.

Winter was warmer then usual which means the netters did well out at the shelf.. Which to me means alot of short fish for the recreational angler to catch..

I live in Delaware and i have been fishing the bay almost all of my life and i have seen the water like that mabye a handfull of times. Can you give some advise in fishing cloudy and windy conditions? I love your videos and im prettey sure ive watched about all of them. Thanks for what you do!

@thaddeus46 4 года назад

I'm surprised you didn't head for the shallows 3-8 ft on the outgoing tide change. My biggest early season fluke come from fishing the shallows on an outgoing afternoon tide that has warmed up in the mid-day sun. And you boat is just perfect for that action.

@JohnSkinnerFishing 4 года назад

In this area they also start tight to the shore, but once the sandeels and fluke in these numbers are on the shoal, the inner fishing drops off. My brother was on the inside spot during this trip and found poor fishing. I made a couple of close-in drifts on the way home and found only searobins.

@JohnSkinnerFishing 4 года назад

The commercials can keep 14'' fish in NY so I doubt they're responsible for wiping out the big ones. I don't know what the deal is with the larger fish. May is typically excellent for them on these waters.

When it’s wind against current, do you always use the trolling motor to go with the current or ever against? And what speed do you typically set it?

I'm always wanting to go with the current with the line almost straight down. 0.7-1.2mph is ideal

@tylerdoesflyfishing7191 4 года назад

I wonder if it’s because of spawning and the larger fluke are all either currently spawning or are done and moved to deeper water. We have the same thing in piglet sound where numbers are really high but very small or medium juveniles from last year

I have to ask, might be a silly question but I'm trying to earn, what is the difference between your tsunami fluke rod and your white tsunami tog rod?

@JohnSkinnerFishing 4 года назад

The tog rod is a faster taper, so I don't use it on fluke because I feel the softer tip takes away some of the jig action. Good question.

Hello John from Newport. 70 miles up the coast. I have found that 90 % of the fluke I catch are under 19in. I use all the same gear that you use. Any thoughts on why so many juveniles? Do you blame overfishing? Just curious. Thanks

@JohnSkinnerFishing 4 года назад

I really don't know. The best fishing I've ever seen was when the limit was two at 21''. And it seems that whatever they set the limit at, the vast majority of the fish fall below that. If you watch the first two fishing videos I ever posted on this channel, you'll see that fishing recorded on May 16 in the same location this video was recorded on May 24. Twenty-inchers were the smalls.

Couldn't having a 19" minimum limit basically cull the larger fish so only small ones survive? I'm pretty sure only females get that big. I always thought slot limits were a better way of doing it vs minimum limit. That way the big doormat breeders are still breeding.
