Hey John, love the content you put out. Even the long videos where it's just you casting and fishing. I just watched the latest beach fluke fishing video from seamoneyfishing and he hooked and lost a fish in the wash and put the bucktail right in front of it and the fluke crushed it. It is more proof to what you preach about getting the bait right back in front of the fish asap. Check out his video, I'm sure you would enjoy it. Tight lines sir.

@maxschoolman3950 6 лет назад

Tell ur bulldog to have a nice day!

@JohnSkinnerFishing 6 лет назад

I thought the same thing.

@RichieMartinez 5 лет назад

Just a heads up. Pulling the fish back while trying to release it (6:57) actually makes it harder for the fish to breathe. Instead move its head left to right. By pulling it back you bring water in through the gills unnaturally making it harder for the fish to get adjusted again. The backwards flow of water through its gills makes it difficult for the fish to readjust. Great catches though!

@MrTatts64 6 лет назад

That lack of people fishing for fluke there John, is quite probably why you get to have such a great day there, mate!

@sagebk36 6 лет назад

Hey john ive noticed on your recent fluking vids that you are giving a small pause right before setting the hook, is that your way your preventing the fluke from ripping off the tail on those grubs? Or just to give it time to swallow the whole jig?

@JohnSkinnerFishing 6 лет назад

I'm not intentionally giving them time to chew, but rather making sure I feel the fish before burying the hook.

@definitelynotalpharious9678 6 лет назад

Hi John, have you tried any surf fishing for fluke this season yet? Recall seeing an old video from a year or 2 back where you showed the use of a 7ft rod setup hitting fluke right at the shore where the water breaks. Wondering if that is a later summer method only or could be used now.

@JohnSkinnerFishing 6 лет назад

Have not tried. From now until September is a good time.

@definitelynotalpharious9678 6 лет назад

That is good to hear, thank you for the reply and the info.

@wilk7958 6 лет назад

What about the. Spinning reel in the rod holder

@Engineer_Heathen 6 лет назад

John, when the tide is running too hard, I'm telling you try casting on the "wrong" side of the boat with a spinning rod. I've tripled my catch rate since doing that last year. I use a ball jig instead of a bucktail though. You can use half the weight by casting. I'm curious if you can do an experiment trying both of these methods to see which is better? I never have much luck vertical jigging. Plus the current in NJ is brutal, so you need 4-6 ounces most days for vertical jigging 60+ feet of water. Just something to think about. That's how a lot of ppl in NJ fish.

@brendanwoerner3352 6 лет назад

Engineer I agree but it’s all about conditions too. A lot of times i see guys using this method with wind against tide and it works well. Also depends on the boat. If it’s a party boat they don’t have a drift sock and it puts you at a disadvantage because you don’t know what the drift speed is.

@Engineer_Heathen 6 лет назад

Brendan Woerner idk man, I can only talk from my experiences, and I went from getting maybe one keeper per trip if I was lucky (using John's method) to getting my limit almost every time out. Maybe I just suck at vertical jigging.

@JohnSkinnerFishing 6 лет назад

I had no problem staying down with 3 ounces without scoping even at full current strength. The fish just shut down at that time. But let me ask you something - if you're casting in the direction to which you're drifting, don't you need to pull the jig up and re-cast rather frequently? I don't see how that would be avoidable once the jig goes under the boat. If the answer is "yes", then I feel like I'd be losing precious bottom time with that method. I appreciate the suggestion.

@Engineer_Heathen 6 лет назад

John Skinner Fishing well I typically fish in the bow, so once I bring it back to the boat, I let it drift around the bow and then I jig it on the "right" side of the boat until I scope out. I catch a lot more fish this way because I'm not as good at vertical jigging as you lol. Been following you for years and read two of your books. Thanks for the reply.

@TurboGSR96 6 лет назад

I fish the Delaware Bay and I have the same problem with vertical jigging, it just doesnt seem to work... line scopes out unless you use stupid heavy weight.

@steventomasi977 6 лет назад

John, can you access Peconic bay from Mattituck inlet?

@docfishingsrq 6 лет назад

Question, John, do you ever use a drift sock or 5 gallon bucket to slow your drift when the current is running so fast, or does it really not make a difference?

@JohnSkinnerFishing 6 лет назад

Often, but only to slow the wind part of the drift.

@anthonygregorio2208 6 лет назад

Hello John. I've been watching your fluke fishing videos especially when your in the kayak. I recently went fluking from a kayak for the first time with a friend. Very fun but scary at times with all the boats darting around us. I had a question about the gear specifically. We were having trouble finding deep water and with all the wakes it was difficult holding good consistent drifts. This made it really difficult to use the vertical jigging method. However we did find lots of shallow flats and sandbars. Would you recommend casting from a kayak for fluke using spinning gear in a case like this?

@JohnSkinnerFishing 6 лет назад

Definitely. In those settings I carry spinning and casting gear.

@strichards5337 6 лет назад

Mr. Skinner, quick ?? plz. I took my first Montauk fluke party boat trip and landed my first (only) fluke, along with 3 sea bass. We were using 8-10oz sinkers with fluke leader rigs. How do you find success using 1 1/2 - 4oz bucktails? I found 6oz bank sinker barely sufficient to keep up/down and went to 8oz. I sooooo wanted to fish your Skinner bucktails but couldn’t work out how. Appreciate the guidance, thx u.

@JohnSkinnerFishing 6 лет назад

What day did you fish, and what boat. I've been out there a few times recently so maybe we were there the same time.

@strichards5337 6 лет назад

Fri, 7/6 on Ebb Tide, 8am outing. Great boat. Spotless, roomy, great mates/crew. I had the pleasure of meeting you and your wife at Hofstra at a Surfcasting show. No way I’d miss you, I’d have embarrassed myself for sure if I stumbled across you on a boat. Friday’s trip wasn’t crowded but the weather turned out beautifully after some wind in the early AM.

@russb296 6 лет назад

Great video John..... it brings up a question that I have. These days the only time I get to go out fluke fishing is usually on a party boat and I find it extremely difficult to fish as light weight jig as I would like without causing problems with tangling others that are using the boats equipment that have 4, 5, and 6 oz sinkers on their rigs. I honestly believe I would catch more fish if I were able to use an ounce less but getting tangled all the time prevents that. Any suggestions other than trying to get out in a smaller boat with less people... LOL? Or is this just something you just have to deal with when you're on a party boat? I've tried fishing different areas of the boat to avoid other fisherman but unless it's a very light day as far as the amount of fisherman that's pretty hard to do.

@JohnSkinnerFishing 6 лет назад

Some guys will cast away from the boat, but I'm not sure if that will work out on the particular boat you're fishing. A lot of people jig from LI party boats.

@russb296 6 лет назад

Why do you make this look so easy, and why dont you drag a bait rod?

@JohnSkinnerFishing 6 лет назад

I rather focus on the jig and not be distracted by messing with a bait rod and all of the interference creatures messing with the bait. When I first started jigging a long time ago, I did exactly what you suggest, but came to the conclusion that for me the bait rod was counter-productive.
