Shore Wading for Summer Flounder (Fluke) - Lots of Fish! 

Good stuff by the legend himself. Great tips, techniques, and adjustments!

Shore wading for fluke are one of my favorites from you

Love this shallow wade fishing. Also an interesting collection of species and technique. Great video John.

Nice video love to see you on the surf

Awesome video..I’m going to try and target the fluke..thank you John! 👍🏽

Thank you Mr. Skinner you have the most informative videos ever.

Videos like this one r y I subscribed john keep them coming loved it

Completely agree about seeing any sized fluke. I fish an inlet where I live, and have seen so much more life in it this year than in the previous years fishing. Keepers are very limited, but the action is a lot of fun :-)

followed your instruction from videos and had a great time, kids landed two large flounder and a couple of sea robbins last month at boyscout camp, thanks

I want to thank you for your flounder fishing videos. Using your advice I have caught flounders in Niantic Bay.

Hi John, Those terns are more likely the Roseate Tern. They are tropical and not from the Arctic. We have many here on the south eastern shore of CT. You probably know of the large nesting colony on Big Gull Island that sits between our shores.

ENJOY YOUR VIDEOS. VERY INFORMATIVE...

love watching your videos! keep them coming :)

The legend

Hey thank you for the videos, used the technique your using in California had great results. I was happily surprised. Oh, it was from your underwater video.

Good stuff..I find the 5" Gulp! jerk-shad to be a great sand-eel imitator and is much more durable then the Gulp! sand-eels themselves...Give it a shot...Enjoy !

wish you did more of these wading or from shore videos..love watching them..from a boat is a completely different thing and lil boring after a while to watch...i just got that tsunami 3000 evict few weeks ago and love it..fourth of july few days ago my wife never went fluke fishing before and she got over 20 fluke with me..the gulp shrimp and the bucktail rig you always use actually makes fluke fishing easy..guys fishing with live bait near us caught dogs and birds all day long with very few fluke...88 fluke caught between both of us to get 4 keepers but on very light tackle its a ton of fun..10lb braid and half oz. bucktails in shallow water cant be beat...now thats all she wants to do if go fluke fishing and of course wants her own rod and reel now...your videos made me a fluke fisherman...thanku

Nice flukes 😀😃😄😁😆And nice video

Skinner with the flounder surfcasting! My hero. Always down for some insight on this type of fishing.

Shorts seem to be the new thing this year, and lots of them

I grew up is Stratford ct and lived on sand dabs and winter flounder

Good to see the fluke numbers coming back. Wish they were as plentiful here in VA!

Hi John. Was fishing this weekend in Great Bay near Tuckerton NJ. I was fishing (boat) six inch salmon red gulp on the bottom and 4 in on the teaser. I had quite a few of the 6ers that were bit in half. I got pissed after a bit and went to 4 and 4. Maybe I was doing something wrong with the 6? One under size fluke engulfed the the whole thing and the jig. I really liked the white jigs with the the salmon. I used to say "if it aint chartreuse, it aint no use. Not anymore.

Hi John, I am a new subscriber to your channel but I heard of you a few years back from my daughter and son-in-law that worked and still works at BNL. I just remembered a few days back of your passion for fishing and decided to have a look at a few of your videos. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of your videos and a bit sorry that I didn't look you up sooner. Your commentaries are refreshing by the amount of knowledge you share with your audience and the way you describe the action on screen. Thanks for sharing.

Nice videoooo

Sea Robins are very tasty fish. White flesh can be prepared same as fluke: breaded and fried, broiled, baked, boiled...but fluke rule regardless!

Have you ever eaten sea robbins? Theyre not bad at all

You should do a Sea Robin catch and cook.

Hey John nice catch, can you tell me have you fished up my way in New England up the Cape for fluke and if you have do you have any recommendations on where there is any good spost on the Cape for fluke , I am having no luck at all..

I wish I had the ability to be like John Skinner. Such an inspiration.

Man I'm giving up on fishing for fluke in CT...

I'm too broke for buying waders loool Amazing video though very informative and simple

hi i love watching your channel . thanks for sharing your greatness. i am really curious about the place that you are fishing at? i am in ny too. and looking for good spot like just where you were.. and can you recommend some other places in long island?

Another great video. Thanks

John your set up has caught me many flounder, even when I have to alter for lack of tackle or conditions. My area is very hard to jig, hard currents fishing from a rock and debris sea wall in the St Simon sound on Jekyll Island Ga. Should I be keeping the bucktail in constant contact with bottom? Or should I be using less weight to swim it just above bottom? 3/4oz has been my go to for a while now feeling the bottom.

10:10 to 10:20 look at the fluke right underneath him

@John Skinner Fishing ......question about staying near the bottom....how do you stay near the bottom without rising up too high and out of the strike zone?( I can never gauge where I am unless I'm dragging in the bottom )

I’m going on vacation by corsons inlet in jersey. I want to try some fishing. It looks like a similar splace to where you’re at. As far as the tides is there a certain time you should go. I guess I mean right at the tide or do you go before or after thank you love your videos

John, do bay fluke live there their whole lives or do they migrate in seasonally?

Shad?? wow.

Hello John, love your vids. If you only had one spinning rig to fish Northshore of L.I. (bass, blues, flukes, albis) from shore what would it look like? I know that's a tough one but I think its a question a lot of us have if we couldn't buy three, four or more rigs. Cheers.

Hey john I wanted to ask you how are the gulp sand fleas the peeler crab and the other gulp shrimps do they work at all ?

When you get a bite do you wait a second before setting the hook?

John. Going to OC NJ and want to try some shore fishing for fluke. Would you suggest the bay side or the ocean side to start? Also how important is structure for shore fishing as opposed to bottom depth changes/ledges?

When using live bait... What weight sinker would be good for shallow water?

I'm always trying to figure out where you are. I'm thinking near shinecock. you looked to the right once for a half a second and I thought I saw the bridge and thought maybe was the commercial docks across the way but than I'm thinking not because some things I don't see. your killing me.

Does anyone know Johns opinion on circle hooks for flukes? I’m a relatively new subscriber. Great vids John keep it up.

What about eating Sea Robbins?

Hey John, since you always point out how noisy boats are in your underwater videos, I was wondering if boat traffic concerns you when fishing a channel like this. Obviously it didn't affect the bite too badly for you on this day, but do you think it can be a problem on a busy boating day?

John, what length is the rod and how far OUT are you casting with it?

John- When you're wading with a fish on the stringer like that (9:40), do you wait and bleed it after you get out of the water?

I'm new at shore fishing on the West Coast and have a question. I see Mr. Skinner wearing a life vest; I suppose it's a good practice to wear while fishing the shoreline of a bay? If so, is it recommended for surf fishing also? I don't see anyone wearing a life vest while surf fishing in my neck of the woods. I would think it's more important to wear one while surf fishing than on the shore of a bay. Appreciate any insights/suggestions on this topic. Thank you in advance for any respones.

Thanks John. What month of the year are you fishing and what was approx. water temp....looks like Spring or Fall??

John is a flounder pounder

What bay are you on?

Great video ... thanks. Was nice to see the bit when you showed the reel and retrieval. Curious to know how far you were from the edge of the channel and do you cast out into the channel itself, or cast and keep it right along the edge as you retrieve? Thanks again.

John, when you are wading- are you wearing neoprene socks or wading boots or something else?

John, do you keep everything that you catch?

what is the reeling speed

what is the retrieve speed

I fish from land, what are the name of lures you using and sizes

John, Just looked up the reel, is it realy a 2000?

Great tip with the wet rag but too many adverts!!!! 😏

Drew if you see this get back to work lmao

Have you ever tried sea robin it tased like fluke

Doesn’t this rapid jigging kill your forearm ?

don't you end up with a ton of sand in your wading shoe?

Never heard of a sun dial flounder. Any teeth?

What line are you using on the tsunami evict?
