I was surprised to find big angry fish stacked in a place I haven't caught them before. It was a great opportunity to abuse my new rod (bit.ly/45GoMej). Supports several chapters in my new book, Fishing the Edge - Techniques and Tales from Surf, Boat, and Kayak: amzn.to/3TQtFvq.

So many people consider Blues the biggest nuisance fish around, but man are they fun to catch. I don't eat any of them no matter what the size or what the recipe (so please don't reply with the, "you haven't tried them my way 😊" , but they can make for a fun afternoon

@Tracker7266 10 месяцев назад

Well said. Lots of fun to catch but I just don't like eating them. Period.

@tjaaw 10 месяцев назад

that last blue almost came aboard! the shot of the school chasing your lure right to the surface was awesome. blues are one of the strongest fish and have amazing stamina and heart. they just never give up. you rarely need to revive them for release.

@joshrussell9460 10 месяцев назад

That was awesome. Love fighting big bluefish, that rod certainly can handle whatever you encounter. Ill be checking that out. Thanks john as always !

@chomidore3 10 месяцев назад

New rod looks great - love the color. I have the 6'3" version of your jig & bounce spinning rod, been a lot of fun to use this summer!

Seen a lot more blues in the Western Sound this season than I have in the past 5-6 years. Some of em were huge. ❤❤❤

Hey John, always appreciate trips in your boat. Thanks walt ( member John skinner tin boat fleet 1985 sea nymph 17' cc)

@drewjames1104 10 месяцев назад

Great video John. Most fisherman do not like steel leaders, but I guess they are good to keep around if the blues are robbing rigs or lures!

@davidbulanowski1091 10 месяцев назад

It's been afew years since I've had a chance to hit blues in any numbers and size in Jersey. I miss the days when they were around like that all summer long. They're not anyone's favorite fish to eat, but they're fun to catch, and quite a workout. That new rod looks great. Got the wheels turning in my head, but my wife would kill me in my sleep if I bought another one now. And she'd spot that one in a heartbeat.

@dannyblue4040 10 месяцев назад

Hey John. You make it look so easy. You never go out and make the action of fishing look uneventful. Where were you fishing during this video? I'd sure like to go out there and give it a shot.

I was fishing the gut a while back and saw a boat that looked like yours! It must’ve been one of your buddies because he said he was a better angler jokingly and said you weren’t out today 😂

@comfortablynumb9342 10 месяцев назад

I'd say you tested the rod. When I used to catch bluefish in the winter in Florida they were warriors. We were happy to battle the bigger ones. But schools of little ones made trolling for mackerel close to the beach really tough. I remember seeing them piling up on each other trying to get the bait, it was wild. I never caught big ones trolling, only from seawalls and shore based. When nothing else was hungry they would give you a fight. I just got an Ugly Stik Inshore Carbon rod to try. It should be a lot more sensitive than my regular Ugly Stiks. I've started figuring out the flounder around the Chesapeake and those heavy rods suck for jigging. So hopefully the graphite one will be better, it's got a medium action and fast tip.

@christopherdiesso 10 месяцев назад

Love it John as always. Would love to fish with you one day!

@garrymanalili2309 10 месяцев назад

Sir turn on your ID fish on your menu put on the medium and the large fish that will detect it

@JoeToz 10 месяцев назад

20:30 put the playback speed @ .25 One time there was a plastic bag floating in the water so I casted to it and hooked it to get it out of the water. As I was reeling it in 2 Blues blew up on it. Guess they thought it was a jellyfish?

@kweeks10045 10 месяцев назад

Take it to Florida and break it in on some big Jack Crevalle or tarpon. I know you mostly do inshore or close to shore fishing while you're in Florida. However, some triple tail or even blackfin would really stretch it's legs.

@JohnSkinnerFishing 10 месяцев назад

Oh for sure jacks and tarpon will be pulling on that rod.

@williamfris3835 10 месяцев назад

They have a lot of muscle and sharp teeth. Fun to catch!

@garrymanalili2309 10 месяцев назад

Yes sir you need to use your 2D 3D and the side imaging but if you just using the 2D then the 3D and side imaging that can collect the fish on your 3D and your side imaging where they're at

@Drufus6753 8 месяцев назад

my 8 y/o old is becoming quite the fisherman and he is getting one of the inshore rods for Christmas. Santa is bringing dad the MH jig rod, but I think I may need a 2nd inshore when the ablies come around again next year!

VMC Siwash 5/0 or 6/0 on the hook. Homemade camera thing.

@stephenduda947 10 месяцев назад

Man I'm jealous. The seabass season is closed in NJ for September.

@Tracker7266 10 месяцев назад

It sucks but hopefully it will help the fishery. I wish they shut down fluke fishing for a bit. Nothing allowed to be kept. The fluke bite gets worse every year. Shut it down for a year or two and let the fishery bounce back. Lots of other species that are good eats.

@stephenduda947 10 месяцев назад

NJ has weird flounder regs. You can keep one larger than 18" and two between 17-18" per person. I had three trips where I caught 5 or more fish bigger than 18" without getting the slots. I also had a few trips where I caught numerous in the slot range without one over 18". I have mixed feelings about the regs but I feel like I had an overall good year.

@jayhsu2412 10 месяцев назад

John refresh my memory what make and size boat do you have? May be looking at something similar to fish around LIS next year.

John, what model Hummingbird are you using? Can't tell from the video or the LINK. Great to see you back on the water. Nice video ! Some days you lose tackle ...it happens. All part of it. ;-)

In the beginning of this video when you lost 5 rigs did you consider a steel leadern or are you adverse to them?

@JohnSkinnerFishing 10 месяцев назад

Absolutely I would not put wire on. Once I figured out what was going on 80# leader pretty much took care of the problem.

@shane6284 10 месяцев назад

It’s interesting, because I don’t often break off blues even on 30lb mono leader. It must have something to do with water depth and hook setting.

@patrickgregory1078 10 месяцев назад

No it's their razor sharp teeth and their vicious strike on their prey!

@JohnSkinnerFishing 10 месяцев назад

The bucktail is small, so they just eat the whole thing.

@shane6284 10 месяцев назад

@@JohnSkinnerFishing That’s exactly what I was thinking. They are swallowing the lure. Great adjustment to the diamond jig. I’m a fly fisherman first, but have a boat on the South Shore. I’m kind of impressed with that rod and real set though, looking into that. I would love an all around set up, do you have any recommendations? Thanks John, love your videos. Tight lines!

@pj3039 10 месяцев назад

if you set your drag properly at hookset its less likely to break instantly like that

@JohnSkinnerFishing 10 месяцев назад

The line isn't just breaking. It's being bit off by bluefish teeth.

Yes. Perfect for that with 1/2-1-ounce jigs.

@tmik7864 10 месяцев назад

How do you feel about the ridiculous size and bag limits on seabass ,do you think they're hurting other game fish populations ?

@JohnSkinnerFishing 10 месяцев назад

I'm fine with the bag and size limits. I had no trouble getting a limit of 17.5-20-inch fish yesterday afternoon on plain bucktails with no bait or Gulp. I have no proof, but it's my opinion that the demise of the Long Island lobster and winter flounder fisheries are a direct result of the explosion of the seabass population.
