You have to love the excitement that just explodes as soon as the fish lands in the net. Any fisherman knows that feeling!

@Ryan-mp5eu 6 лет назад

Also the banter between the johns is gold. Love to see more videos like this minus the bad storms of course!!

@jiggingjerks 6 лет назад

John, thank you again for the kind words and plug. You’re absolutely right, a trip we shall never forget :)

Raptus if you don’t like it, I don’t care, just trying to help him save a bit of money

@coffins69 6 лет назад

CrispyChris lmao that was genuine idk why u assumed that was sarcastic

@crispychris9492 6 лет назад

Raptus oh I thought it was sarcastic, cause you will sometimes get those people who are like that. When I got the notification what you said was is was in quotation marks, but it wasn’t, lol

@csralumni 6 лет назад

Wow, that storm was intense. Glad you all made it back safe, nice fish!

@zerozero113 2 года назад

Thanks for making these 26 degree days bearable I’m watching all your old content.

@dantheman4956 6 лет назад

John, I just wanted to say you are a great story teller. Between your editing, commentary at the right moments and clean shots, you make it truly intriguing to watch. I watched John h's version first and it was good. I thought yours would be old because I already saw the trip, but you really had me riveted. A great fisherman AND a great movie producer... who woulda thought! NICE WORK

@JohnSkinnerFishing 6 лет назад

Thanks for that. Since I didn't contribute any nice fish that trip, I figured the least I could do is tell a good story.

@pergolafish 6 лет назад

Dan I agree but I can't seem to catch fluke on those bucktails! Gotta go more.

@scottsluggosrule4670 6 лет назад

My dad & I had a similar experience in Fl gulf..darkest wall cloud I have ever seen chasing us down. We were is a 27 ft flats boat doing 50 and it caught us just as we hit the dock. 70 mph gusts and torrential rain. Guys had to be rescue by coast guard after their boat capsized. Be careful out there folks!

@ronaldbrown7924 5 лет назад

Nothing better than being on the water with a great group of friends fishing and laughing!

@richardjohnson33755 5 лет назад

This video never gets old. Probably watched it ten time. 👍

@johnsweeney1400 6 лет назад

Great video John and that was cool that you captured the weigh-in. Loved watching it!

@gk621 6 лет назад

Incredible *Fish* Congratulations Fisherman!😊👍🎣🐟🐠

@edgewater210 6 лет назад

Thank you for continuing to post the videos of you and the guys catching flounder. I look forward to trying your techniques on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.

@renzconlon6736 6 лет назад

No better feeling in fishing then when a plan works out...especially in a tournament. Congrats!

@strichards5337 6 лет назад

Smart to call for lines up. Not as smart to counter with 5mins, but peer pressure is a b!tch at any stage of life. Glad you all kept it to 5 mins and got moving. Glad ya all made it home safe. All that counts. True shame about the plane that went down. Pray’n for us all.

@AlanA-gu9nz 6 лет назад

Always a pleasure watching your videos. They are a welcome replacement for my fishing fix when I can't get out to the water. I'm looking forward to your next surf video though 😂

@skeeter101010 6 лет назад

@diceman220 6 лет назад

I'm a old man now, but I remember the high five days. LOL when you guys land a big fish. I feel like I'm on board. Sold my 30 , but I will be out in my 20 cc. Nice fish Doc !

@ugsisr 6 лет назад

Working hard for the Money...Kudos to the Captain for navigating that Storm..

@Billmcd1974 6 лет назад

Nice quality fish. Definetly a day for multiple engines.

@edgerrity893 6 лет назад

John, On behalf of Billy's By the Bay we want to thank you and the rest of the guys on the boat for entering the Fluke Shootout. We are glad you made is back safe, and congrats on those great fish. Do you mind if we put a link on the Billys by the bay facebook page for this video? Thanks

@JohnSkinnerFishing 6 лет назад

Absolutely you can share the link! Hey, you're a restaurant/bar in a marina that I can walk to from my house. I definitely want to support you! Thanks for providing a great tournament all around!

@johnkeriazesakadoc7271 6 лет назад

Yeah...thanks for sponsoring this tournament. I know our team waits excitedly all year for this event. Thank you for continuing it every year!

@edgerrity893 6 лет назад

Glad u guys had fun. Billy would love to have u stop in the restaurant and say hello. Thanks.

@swingline76er 6 лет назад

Nice video, love the content of your channel.

@scottbecker5700 6 лет назад

Great video and story!

@petercollin5670 6 лет назад

It amazes me how much calmer that salt water is during a storm compared to the Great Lakes. On a bad day at Lake Ontario, the wave peaks are shorter than the boat itself!

@JohnSkinnerFishing 6 лет назад

Yes! Lake Ontario is brutal. I got my grad degree from RIT and had a 16-foot tin up there. Great times going out of the Genesse and Oak Orchard. A wicked body of water with very steep and tight nasty waves!

@petercollin5670 6 лет назад

Wow, that's my neck of the woods. I never knew that about you.

@jacobcastille4133 6 лет назад

@scuba422123 6 лет назад

wow! john that storm looked bad!! it must have been the reason that plane went down and congrats on that contest!

@werm88 5 лет назад

Good video! Hopefully I can catch some flounder down at Port A this week

@gerardamitranno8837 6 лет назад

Great video. John I need you to come down to Wilmington ,NC, to try flounder fishing because I haven't figured it out yet , I miss FLUKE FISHING ,like what I am used too.

@chriswardenoftheforest1458 6 лет назад

Almost finished a great easy read book called "Fishing The Bucktail" by John Skinner and after I read his Stripper book I'm going to read the bucktail book again! Easy and entertaining read for sure. I'll be in Maine July 4th week with some awesome new tips.

@kennethpenfold3648 4 года назад

Love your channel I only wish we had fish like that round our coast ,ken from london

@fishingwithdog258 6 лет назад

Wow that’s crazy, me and my friend were fluking off Asharoken that day on my small Center Console and we were watching that massive front. It was dark. It started blowing hard around 6-7pm outa the NE and we ran back in to the ramp because of it. We had channel 16 on the radio and heard them talking about down plane on the scanner. Sick stuff.

@FishingWMax 6 лет назад

i was surf casting in westhampton when this storm hit it was scary glad i made it back to the house

@christophermorales6056 5 лет назад

The guy that weighed in the 9.83lb fluke is Mike Panchak on the My Diane from brick cove marina.

@26halkman 6 лет назад

Michael Pancake congrats Mike - you broke our hearts but it was a quality fish!

@TButch130 6 лет назад

This video makes me wonder if I should be sticking to the bay waters (down here in central/south jersey) with the hundreds of other boats or if I should already be venturing out front to drift along side the wrecks...everyone seems to wait until late June/early July. Thoughts?

@Steve-qo4hi 6 лет назад

Must have been Saturday. We had some monster storms come through later in the day.

Craig from CT it’s called a FLIR but basically it does night vision and infrared picture for seeing at night

@1e44 6 лет назад

My skinner, Greetings from Phila. I enjoy your work and appreciate the tips. What is your opinion on a tsunami shield 4000 for working New Jersey beaches on calm days for summer fish?

@JohnSkinnerFishing 6 лет назад

Definitely fine.

@dthoma128 6 лет назад

Glad you all made it back to port! Boat and motor did their part...what size/brand were they? Performed well carrying a good size group of fisherman as well as those big flounder!

Doug Willard yes.....model 625

@Troll814 6 лет назад

John what winds would you rather fish more than others? just looking for some advice my season has been a little slow in the Raritan Bay

@JohnSkinnerFishing 6 лет назад

For fluking I'll take no wind or a light breeze in the same direction as the current. I don't care about the specific direction (east, west...), but want to avoid wind against current where they cancel each other and you don't cover ground.

@jdmmarcelo10 6 лет назад

Hey john which model rod is it the extra heavy or heavy? Because the model the shows its only up to 1 1/4 ounce

@JohnSkinnerFishing 6 лет назад

Don't go by the rating. It's the "H", rated 12-25#. I trim 4 inches off the tip.

@lukefeeney9596 6 лет назад

John, was this on Saturday because over here on the west end in Jamaica bay we had a monster storm that hit while I was out fluking

@JohnSkinnerFishing 6 лет назад

yes

@lukefeeney9596 6 лет назад

+John Skinner Fishing Scary stuff. Would you ever consider doing something where you would randomly pick local fans or subscribers to take fishing where they would pay for the expenses and you could put them on fish. That would be very cool.

@keithrowe8873 6 лет назад

I fished out of Freeport NY last Friday. We caught limits of Fluke and limits of Black Seabass.

@JohnSkinnerFishing 6 лет назад

Nice! Now send them east.

@georgeannepanos8132 6 лет назад

Very scary....

@matthewholland9713 6 лет назад

Sorry John, looks a little snotty but being from northfork and taking that route from new suffolk for fluking south of Montauk many times that does not look bad at all.

@JohnSkinnerFishing 6 лет назад

The waves never got big. The wind blew from the north, and we went around the south side of Gardiners trying to get around the storm. The scary part was looking toward home and seeing it as dark as it gets in daytime and seeing the lightning. It came up very fast.

@Nickfish-op2bh 6 лет назад

@bradymartin7548 3 года назад

Whos here waiting for fluke season

@fantomenace302 3 года назад

Wasn't that the storm that took the life of a Hampton home builder and his family also the pilot

@JohnSkinnerFishing 3 года назад

Yes. Just a few miles away at the time we hit the storm.

@huntersmith2412 6 лет назад

That weather aint nothin come to florida and experience a real storm where it will go from flat calm to 6 foot seas in 5 minutes

@brianlaffey3672 Год назад

lol it's a lake....1 ft if you lucky...just fished in Montauk on a 21 ft boat at 2'4 waves with 3 to 4 swells ...please

@scottsal66 6 лет назад

You know , spot 35. Wow , top secret. I remember before I had my own charterboat. Give the new guys a chance before inflation and the comercial fleet wipe you all out. Then you can sit in the marina bar and talk about it.

@silkmothspinnery 6 лет назад

Sad day for the 4 lost in the little plane.

@michaeltacke777 6 лет назад

Whats the specs on that boat and trolling motor?

@26halkman 6 лет назад

Michael Tacke - Cobia 256 - 25’6” centerline and 8’9” beam. Trolling motor is. Rhodan 36 Volt, 84 inch trolling motor with anchor lock.

@michaeltacke777 6 лет назад

whats your opinion of that motor on such a large boat? This is what Im looking to do on my next boat

@26halkman 6 лет назад

It’s enough if you’re not looking to cruise at 40 mph and top out at 55. We had no problem planing with a full tank of gas (161 gallons), 3 large guys and two average size guys plus a lot of equipment. This past Saturday. We top out loaded at about 40 mph and can cruise at 30 at 4500 rpm getting 1.8 to 2.0 mpg depending on load, wind, current, etc. If you can rig with a non Yamaha engine, the Zuke 350 is sweet!

@michaeltacke777 6 лет назад

Im more concerned with the trolling motor anchor lock in a large boat

@26halkman 6 лет назад

We haven’t used it yet but there’s a guy running a 37 Freeman who runs this model and there’s a RU-vid video of him anchored in place on a windy day.

@Valkyrie612 5 лет назад

Looks like you guys realized trying to outrun a storm on the ocean in a fishing boat (or any boat) is arrogant, and a fool's errand. Good planning for weather ahead of the trip is the best defense!

@JohnSkinnerFishing 5 лет назад

These days with smart phones and realtime weather I would add that monitoring is as important as planning. Sometimes storms are unexpected, but an occasional check of weather radar can help avoid trouble. That was our mistake this trip. We planned, and the forecast was good. We didn't monitor like we should have. When the trip was over I mentioned to the rest that we had 5 smartphones on the boat but apparently no smart people.

@Supanova70 6 лет назад

Hey what was the name of that other youtube channel that you mentioned John Skinner?

@26halkman 6 лет назад

John Wilson - it’s Jigging Jerks. We just started but have a bunch of videos up from fluking this year...

@MrJuansWorld 6 лет назад

I know the camera never does the sea justice, but any idea how big the seas were? Here in the Carolinas, you can't ride home on plane during a decent thunderstorm.

@jiggingjerks 6 лет назад

About 2 feet. It was more about the lightning, fog and driving rain. If you look very closely there is very little visibility. Neither John's video or mine caught the lightning but believe me, it was there and frightening.
