Surf Fishing for False Albacore - Hogy Lure Review 

Great video as always John. Learned a lot by watching your videos

Absolutely beautiful location and clear water. What a rush about 8:25 when he starts that run. You actually see the fish go by at about 8:31. Sweet.

Absolutely the best fishing videos!!!!!!!!!

Watching these videos on TV. Better than any fishing series except addictive fishing.

Can't wait to try out you tips.. great video, as usual!

Amazing water.

Love that sound at 8:32. What a missile! Great video

stunning venue!

Great video! That water is amazing! Your 100% correct, most people give Albies away. Shame, because they fight great & are a beautiful looking fish. **Those Hogy Lures are also outstanding for Bonitos and Mackerels.

If theres one thing that turns my screws, its fall time. Thats when I get these badboys. Great educational video as always. I usually use the regular epoxy jigs but those look tempting. Im gonna have to get some of those when I get to the vinyard.

I love that beach, havent been there in a while but seing that makes me wanna go this weekend.

Beautiful spot man...

@John Skinner Fishing sorry if you've been asked this before but have you considered mounting a polarized filter on your gopro to help with seeing below water surface? There are a few awesome enclosures that allow for a typical camera filters to be threaded on. Anyway, thanks for the great vids!

I wish we could hook up to these silver bullets like this in Hawaii. That’s a great eating fish over here but mostly caught trolling on boats... but they do come up occasionally from shore rare tho! Anyway nice vid👍🏼

Wow you make me buy this lure. Thanks brother keep updating be safe God bless

So thats where Lowes get their bags of pebbles from. Very nice pebble beach!

Sometimes when they are feeding on super small bait like bay anchovies, peanut bunker or silversides, that's where the fly rod can come into play very well throwing small 2-3" flies that imitate the bait really well. Try "boyles bunny" a fly designed by a guy right here on Martha's Vineyard

great video as away

Nice mr skinner your the best

Great video, thanks!!!!!!!

Nice vid Hogy makes some great stuff but very pricey. You should try there Squinnow jig.

Congrats on 50k

That looks a whole lotta fun :-)

John,is the water warm where you are fishing,as it looks very inviting !. Regards from a limey b over the pond.

Nuttin better than hearing a reel drag screamin!

Hello mr skinner I have a question on beaches that have lots of rocks on them should I use poppers or spooks? Thanks

Awesome stuff as always John! Man one of these days the thousands of hours I spend on Google Earth and the hundreds of hours I spend trying to triangulate your position from your footage is going to pay off. Lol... The Hogys (Hogies?) are great. I have been using them for Albies for the last two seasons. And I actually swap out the treble with the same size as the Deadly Dicks. The 35g is the way to go for surf casting (I haven't gotten one from Terra firma yet though), but when I'm on the boat runnin' & gunnin' I use the longer (lighter) ones. Obviously you don't need the distance from the boat and my hope is that the bigger profile will attract bigger footballs. It's just sad to see my Deadly Dicks gathering rust.

I love your videos Mr Skinner, I just want to say that I strongly believe you should be using a left handed bait caster when fluking 🤔

Where are you fishing clear water like that? Can't be North East coast, never seen water that clear on the north east coast.

Amazing fishing! I wish there were surf albies in California 😅

Hi John, another great video. What's the trick to finding these fish from shore? I drove all the way to Shinnecock inlet from Philly and got skunked I'd love to not have that happen again! Thanks, I'm a big fan of your books!

Sure your not in the Bahamas? North shore looks clean.

Best producing tide on the southshore beaches you fish for the early fall bass run?

I just returned from an albie charter. While the fish were chasing bay anchovies we murdered them with Albie Snax but after they found the peanut bunker and herded them into coves they would not touch _any_ artificial we threw at them.

What conditions do u feel brings them close to shore?

Nice!

Hey John, how much longer will the Albies be around on Long Island? Great vid as always thanks.

what months are these fish around? can u catch them around thanksgiving?

Great video .. would a tsunami shield work ? I know a a high speed reel

Great video John. How long do you think these Albies will stick around?

John I was fishing today and I lost 3 lures. I usually snap the line while casting it. Do you have any recommendations to tie the jig.

Wow ever since I start fishing In saltwater, I never see saltwater this clear.

Is there any sort of beach structure that would attract these fish? Are they accessible from any north shore beach (provided they are in the area to begin with)?

Water still warm Johnny ??

John, I notice when you are retrieving that your bail is moving much slower than the rate at which you're turning the handle. Is that normal for the Clash? I never used one but was thinking of getting one for exactly what you're showing in this video.

Do you use a barrel swivel when fishing for albies or tie the leader directly to the braid?

John are you tying direct to the flours or using a TA clip ? Thanks

Damn that water is crystal clear, which state is that in if you don't mind me asking?

Have you tried eating albies or false albacore yet ??? you might like it . It is a bit like the lure , no harm in trying something else.. And if you know your going to catch and release why drag it up onto the stones..

what rod would you recommend to use bucktails in a river for striper and albies?

I wish you would kayak fish again.

where

North shore right or no

Great video! How do you like the Penn Clash?

How come the false albacore isnt good to eat

Hey John Skinner I have a really nice spook that I want to use but will fish bite topwater in october?

can you eat them things ?

What knot do you use with your leader to anglers clip/hooks?

North shore??

they are good eating if you remove the dark fat line

Where you fishing

I want to live that place

👍🏼

When the best time for fishing albies ?

"Blue fish my ass!"

Where is this?

when are you going 4K Mr Skinner?

1:31 "bluefish my a$$". Another classic skinnerism

John skinner does not follow fish, fish follow him

I never really cared for deadly dicks because I feel they don't cast well. Caught lots of albies with regular Ava 007's. I'll give the. Hogys a shot next time.

Hi John, I’ll be trying some albie fishing next week and was curious what kind of know you use to tie your deadly dick to your leader? And is it the same knot for the Hogy lure?

Screamer!

if you like canned albacore tuna you'll love this fish. it's the same thing.

Does RU-vid pay you yet
