My last trip “back east” after moving to Colorado in ‘91 I brought some friends on a road trip. I’m 41 but grew up with a cottage on Misquamicut beach and was deep sea fishing at the age of 4. We went out on the Blackhawk back in 2011 and I won the pool with a 16lb Blue. I must’ve caught 15+ Blues and Stripers and absolutely blew my Colorado friends minds. They quit after catching a few because their arms were so tired. Naturally I couldn’t catch enough to satiate my hunger for catching hard fighting fish. I haven’t been back since but this is making me want to plan a trip as soon as possible. Nothing like hammering Bluefish all day.

We are anxiously awaiting for the blues to return to Martha's Vineyard. There are definitely some folks getting them from boats, but we surfcasters are casting, waiting, and longing to see the blues bend the rod!! Great series of fish John!!

John, great video. We get the same exact sort of bluefish bite here where I am on Long Island, very few feet of water on plugs, blind casting and sight fishing as well. Any idea what brings them in so close and deep into the bays during the spring in recent years ?

@JohnSkinnerFishing 29 дней назад

They come onto flats in the spring every year. Not sure why.

@wish2fish37 28 дней назад

Good video John..as far as losing lures on blues a number of times I lost plugs while fighting a fish in only to discover my line bit off above my leader or at my swivel when I use them.More experienced guys told me other blues most likely bit my line off and sometime bite at swivels.What other explanation would there be?No obstructions where this has occurred.Had a big blue chasing one I had hooked right up to beach this year trying to grasp lure from it.

@JohnSkinnerFishing 28 дней назад

I've not experienced that, but I use very small black swivels.

@@JohnSkinnerFishing Thanks for responding.Know you get tons of comments.

@Peter-zg3em Месяц назад

happens brother. i remember your video running singles on a pencil and it just doesn't work. you need that rear treble for a pencil to be a viable plug and once in a blue moon they'll inhale it. i get away with a rear single on spooks but it definitely cuts into hookup rates.

@JohnSkinnerFishing Месяц назад

So few people get that about the singles. Refreshing to read your comment. Thanks.

@LI_Fishing_and_Knives Месяц назад

John, you're an absolute wealth of knowledge. I have been having great success with bucktails this year and loving every minute of it. I feel like something has finally "clicked". When you work that plug, are you just steady retrieving while popping the rod?

Yes. You want to see the plug dance back and forth.

I did not, but I suspect they would have hit it.

I knew they were moving through the general area, though I was still surprised when the water exploded 3 cranks in.

Blue fish are very plentiful,must have caught well over 300 last year. Bass is what we want .

@Legnerps Месяц назад

Yeah blues are fun for the first couple but then they're a pain in the butt ... like pickerel in freshwater I subtract points for anybody that brings one aboard 😂

@Legnerps Месяц назад

Yes I agree with you about the stripers. They are such beautiful fish I won't keep them but I love to see them. I don't even need to get them into the boat as long as I see them at the end of the line ... maybe a little jump.... and then be on its way. I fish the coast of Maine for stripers a few times a year. One time I found myself over a huge School of them chasing macks in a back Bay and I could reach down out of the boat and touch them they were so thick but they would not take a lure. Then I saw a seal about 100 feet away with one in his mouth looking at me as though he was bragging. That was so much better than catching a fish myself and one of my favorite experiences on the water ever!

@@JohnSkinnerFishing not that you have a problem catching any fish obviously, but I find that attention to even the “smallest” details can make a world of difference. I’ve been doing this all my life and I’m still refining my techniques. Trying to have endless growth. Even tho they’re big plugs, you aren’t really gaining anything by using Flouro for that application. I bet using a floating leader would improve the action that much more!

@rnmlsrsr8609 19 дней назад

@@JohnSkinnerFishing additionally, it’s safer to make harder casts when using a mono leader because of the stretch. It absorbs the shock of the cast that way your rod tip doesn’t take the brunt of it. Takes some heat off your gear

@scottsluggosrule4670 Месяц назад

use just the center treble..95% hookup far fewer killed fish and injuries to yourself. I had a similar outing years ago..check my video..Sea Isle City Blues..1 after another on Sluggos in the spring. I have a chart at the end that shows the age and pounds per inch. They are 15-20year old blues. One sore arm but great day. Nice video..keep em coming.

@tlfu6836 Месяц назад

A suggestion: Try removing the tail treble hook from your lure and fish with just one treble on the belly. It will be much easier to release those bluefish, and that one fish that bled out probably would have survived. I fish my lures like that all the time, and I don't see a significant decrease in hook ups. You're also a whole lot less likely to hook yourself.

@JohnSkinnerFishing Месяц назад

I will never remove the tail hook on a pencil. Many of the hookups, including large bass, come on the rear hook of a pencil for me.
