Tips on how to catch striped bass from the beach on metal lipped swimming plug lures. Giibs and Tsunami lures are used to catch stripers from the surf.
John i love your videos. Youre always welcome to fish up north here in Boston with the new england kayak fishing guys. You should come up to our big tourney in aug every year.
Thanks for the video and I think your books great. Do you ever remove the middle hook on a three-hook plug? Do you remove the barbs to make release easier?
Love the videos I bought striper persuit off Amazon and the book has changed my outlook on fishing . I inherited some old school danny Gibbs with 4/0 open eye hooks. would you replace with split rings and 3/0s ? I heard split rings can cause potential tangles
+Henry oh: hey henry, I'm not writing to promote John Skinner's material but I strongly suggest you to get one of his books. From my personal experience it has helped me not only land more fish but understand how surf fishing works, as far as what lures to use under what conditions your fishing on, and much more. there you will find answers for questions you don't even have now. His book are extremely detailed. They will definitely be your guide to surf fishing. John Skinner many thanks for sharing your knowledge. tight lines!
Hi John, I would like to know what are your thoughts on the sebile magic swimmer and what would it be good for, blues or strippers and how would it be used best.
Have ya ever seen jack Frechs beluga its a metal lip that the lip can rotate up and down to get a far cast then you start your retrieve and it digs in to a normal metal lip action
I know you've said in the past that lure colors are designed to catch fisherman not fish, but do you have any thoughts on color selection for metal lips?
Just finished reading this chapter in Striper Pursuit, such an amazing book so far. What are your thoughts utilizing metal lip swimmers in the dark, dusk, or dawn?
Great video as ever. I love these kind of plug lures: I have many vintage ones, does someone still make them. I make my own from broom handles and stuff, but it'd be nice to know there are new ones available. Many thanks. Raymondo
"Are there a lot of them out here?" Skinner "ah, not really" Then he goes and catches 50 more :) ALWAYS keep your spots and catches a secret: it's the surf fishing way.
John, I can see fish breaking water in the distance during the Tsunami plug part of the video. Is that baitfish or bass, or both causing those disturbances?
Hi John, I noticed that you didn't have to cast far for swimming lip plugs. How come didn't you cast them far? Just curious because I always have to cast far out.
Great question. The fish were tight to the beach and mostly along the beach lip in this video. That was a good scenario for metal lips, which don't cast very well.
would you say that in the conditions in which you would throw a metal lip you could just throw a bomber instead? Bombers are way cheaper and cast better and they ride almost as high on the surface
+Kent Napp You can toss anything, important thing is you get it in front of the fish and they see it, presentation and colour in that order. Cool thing with these you can bend the eye up or down to make em swim deeper or shallower. Bombers and other minnows are fixed
+Kent Napp A 6-inch metal lip is much different than a 6-inch Bomber. They swim differently and have a much different profile. Two distinct tools entirely for me.
+John Skinner Fishing One more question John, if the large adult bunker are the predominant bait fish, do you throw even larger metal lips than the 6in or just a 7in talkin popper ?
I've had a couple Tsunami metal lips crack on me and turn in to sinkers. Have you had that experience yet? I prefer RM Smith, Gibbs and Mike's Custom myself.
Hi. First off, great videos. Lots of interesting tidbits and very informative. May I suggest one change to the channel format, however? It is difficult for the more novice angler to navigate all the information you present here since you categorize each video by type of life used. How about recategorizing or maybe just renaming videos based on type of beach, weather condition, or season? I think it would be much easier to find the information we are looking for that way.
Sometimes I really tire of these Skinner videos, because he fishes where there are a lot of fish. Take that detail out of the equation and it would be boring. I value JSs advice, But want to see him work in waters bereft of fish. My state? NJ.
