This year i caught tons of blackfish, up to 14 inch scup, cow stripers,monster bluefish,4 albies and tons of fluke here in Cape Cod!! All on reading John Skinner books,watching his videos and paying close attention to his instructions and techniques! That does not mean i did not get skunked because i did on some occasions! John Skinner Fishing Thank you so much!!!
This was a lovely spot you fished here John. I've never seen the striper in droves like that so close to shore in such clear water. Us west coast fisherman got our work cut out for us. Even with the right time, right place and perfect conditions it can still be a grind just to get one keeper out here in northern California. I get the occasional Bonito and Albacore from shore and they fight like hell compared to Striped Bass.
I grew up in Jersey, had no idea Albacore came in that close in the NY/NJ area! I love your videos. Really really intelligent and articulate tips, with the evidence and action to support your information. Thank you!
2016 was the first year targeting albies on eastend long island and it was the most fun ever. Alot of fish late sept.-oct. fished same technique, but at times they can be finicky so I would carry a fly with me to tie like a teaser and we were in. Can't wait great vid as usual
I think I found my new favorite video! I live in Plymouth Massachusetts. I'm thinking of loading up the truck and just driving to where ever you are lol. Excellent video I'm extreme jealous.
Wife and I ran into a pod of them off Lobsterville Beach ,MV. She saw birds working a hundred or more yards down the beach,ran and nailed a 9+ pndr.When she returned with it,she looked like she fought off an army of feral cats.Placed 2nd at derby HQ til bumped by slightly bigger one.Bad legs kept me out that year.
Why can't u ppl just get out and actually fish. Use what u got use what u like don't worry about his spots. If u explore enough spots and put ur time in u will be just as good as John. Experience is what gets u the skills. Takes time so get out and put the work in
You should do a meet n Greet I'm from north shore of Long Island and you make this look effortless I would love to chat, I believe I've met you once on the beach, but I'm sure we would all love to meet you
Hey I would be very interested in a guide trip from u in a kayak or even or the beach. Not sure if u do this but I'm from jersey and I would love to fish in Long Island at least once in my life time.
hi I'm a striper fisherman myself and I go to places and don't exactly find fish and every video you make you make it look easy catching them how do you find them that easily?
Nice going John! I thought that was your old bones a rattling there when you were hooking up, but I think it may well be the camera in its case. Could well be why it switched off mid fish for you too. ATB mate.
John, thanks for posting and for your book. It looks like you don't have any trouble removing the hook so my question is: "Do you pinch the barb on your hooks?"
I will use my Shimano IX 4000 casting to these albacore. 20lb line on this reel. Swimming spoon, strata type fast on the top or zara spook reeled quick, straight line in, and bucktail.
Great video! Can you please address your drag setting in some way? Can you pull it by hand? There is no standard scale on drag setting, so I often wonder if I'm too loose or too tight.
Hi John, great vids. I've told my friends about this and they really enjoy it. I'm in Virginia Beach and fish in the wildlife refuge. I'm trying to line up the rockfish fishing here but it's a hit or miss. Hopefully with your techniques. I can land 1. it's been awhile since I caught them. in this video, what was the outdoor temperature?
Hello from the UK could you answer this question please were are the most likely places to catch bonito, tunny , albacore . & what time of the year its on my bucket list to catch & cook one for my wife time & tide wait's for know man great video's thanks .
I have seen you use a variety of reels in your videos including the Van Staal, Bail-Less Penn Spinfisher, Penn Slammer III, Penn Torque, and the Penn Clash. Why such a variety of reels?
How does he not have more subscribers? RU-vid algorithm messed up? Very educational stuff here, I see a lot of other fishing videos most are all about flash , no substance.
Can we meet one day to go fishing? I need some tips from a pro. I live in far rockaway queens. You should know its also in Long Island. Please let me know. I would enjoy going and learning to get away from the violence
nice video, I have a question I just bought a penn clash 4000 and idk what rod to pair it with If im not mistaken you have yours pair with a penn batallion can you make any suggestions what rod should i pair my penn clash with i was thinking of a ugly stik elite my budget is under $100 i think the batallion is over $100 thank you
Without revealing the spot is tbis public access water? I just returned from a visit to Rocky point long island and was unable to get any intel on access from the local tackle shop. I was told most of the shore was private. I was highly disappointed to only find one small place to fish
I grew up in Brookhaven Town. I believe they now have a fishing access permit that will allow you to park at some beaches at night, plus there are regular parking permits for daytime access. check with Brookhaven Town Hall.
where are you? i always see you killing them from shore but dont know where it is. could you please give us just one spot of yours? it looks like Hampton bays.
