I appreciate you sharing that. I hope you catch many more.
Thank you. I appreciate hearing that.
Try Super Strike popping plugs at dusk and dawn. Tins for distance. Bucktails in the white-water. Visit you local tackle shop and they can help with specifics.
They're deadly, although the ones I use are in the 4- to 6-inch range.
That's a tough price limit. I'd look at the Penn Sargus reel and a matching rod. I fish with a couple of sub $50 off the shelf rods and they're just fine. The reel is a little trickier.
1:43 PIMP release! Lol, great video thanks for sharing.
Any moving water depending on specific locations. Onshore winds are favorable.
On Long Island they show in April. The little ones are feeding on mostly sandeels, the larger ones on bunker, fluke, and all sorts of bigger baits.
I live in Jersey and I spent the winter reading, "Fishing the Bucktail". Yesterday, I landed my first striper of the year using a bucktail and your advice. It is a great book and very well written.
If you're east of Riverhead, you might find some action in the early mornings on bucktails and poppers, or on swimming plugs in the dark. It's tough though given all of the hot weather we've had.
Watched your bucktailing over structures video. Went out, bought tackle. Went out to Hammonasset Beach, State Park, Madison CT. Walked out on rock pier. Casted, retrieved. Casted, retrieved. 3 hours later. Nothing. Gosh, Mr. Skinner, you make it look so easy. Dang it!
Tide is very important there. I just know the 2 hour window when they're likey to hit there. It's a matter of fishing the same spots a lot until you figure it out.
Glad I can help someone who's helped everyone.
i love all the video particularly on bucktail fishing action.
Use the lightest weight possible that allows you to swim it near the bottom on a slow to moderate retrieve. Probably 1/2 to 1 ounce for open ocean and bay beaches in your area.
It works well and is very durable.
I do this frequently. Swim it over the top of the rocks. A lighter weight and somewhat dense bucktail is sometimes needed.
bucktails and eels work great in those areas.
Yes, mostly water, a couple ounces of vinegar. I boil for reuse.
Fantastic John. Thank you for this and your Book Fishing the Bucktail. I'm a newbie to it all but have learned so much from your book and your videos. Thanks again and looking forward to more videos from you! All the best.
The sweet spot on that rod is about 3/4 ounce. The 9-footer I usually bucktail with is 3/4-2 ounce.
The water is very warm right now from all of this hot weather. Try again when things cool off.
best fishing video on bucktails ive seen!
If stripers are there, I'd cast bucktails tipped with pork rind, but Gulp is fine in place of rind. The "rocky shoreline bucktailing" video would be a good start.
Thanks for getting the book. The videos are nice overviews, but the book does a better job on the details and strategies. Good luck with the new season.
John, I just ordered your book. I got into surf fishing this passed August, but mainly used plugs. I am looking forward to reading the book and hopefully reeling in some fish with bucktails this year!
Try swimming 3/4- to 1-once bucktails through the white water. They're great in surf.
bang!bang! backtoback awesome vid wish we had it that good here in west coast!!!
An andrus or Blue frog is fine, Any round or smiling bill style with a decent hook will be a good choice.
Guy catches more fish Ina half hour than I do in a month... Just bought your book. Anxiously awaking its arrival.
I use a Penn 550SSg with 20# FireLine on a medium action 9-footer.
Most definitely!
just finished "fishing the bucktail",reallly great book and looking forward to using everything i learned this season
I don't use Gulp grubs on the stripers. I prefer pork rind, but if I were to use grubs, I'd still go with the standard soft plastics because the gulp grubs would get torn up and would get a little pricey after awhile. That said. I'm sure the gulp would catch just fine.
@xtremelele
Yes, they are downcurrent of some rocks there. I don't get hung up there because I know the spot well.
Thanks for your reply, I appreciate it. I'm fishing on the North Shore of Long Island.
Yes. See the bay bucktailing videos I just posted.
Great thanks for the info! Looking forward to new videos!
Yes.
I don't know that area, but both are good choices. If there are a lot of bluefish around, eels don't work out very well.
There are plenty of good ones on the market. Blue Frog and Andrus are two good bucktail companies.
Both, but mostly the 50# on the North Shore.
Just another day at the office.... Great video.
LOL!!! Still watching... waiting for my buddy to get here so we can go do some bucktailg for Fluke..... There are still a lot of bass here in Raritan bay so we will chase them and the bluefish around when it gets close to sundown.... Thanks again for the vid
I don't fish the open beaches much in the spring. Can't be everywhere.
Thanks for the info.. ill be using the bucktail next sat ..
The #57 will be difficult to cast. I only use it drifting from a boat. Cut it if you can.
Yup that's where I always fish with my grandpa.... It is good flounder/fluke fishing in the grasses by Frank & Dicks by the houses
What the F!?? Why would you let a secret like this out of the bag!!!??? LOL, I've been using 1/2 - 1 oz white bucktails with 6 inch twister ( now using GULP too ) tails to catch bass for years.... I have made fishing the rockpiles my specialty, and with the advent of Power Pro style super lines, I have become an Ultralight specialist. My personal best so far are a 22lb bass, a 14 pound Bluefish, and an 11.5 lb Weakfish, all caught on a 7 ft Kunan trout/smallmouth bass rod! Great video man!
If you fish Hortons with bucktails in October and early November, you're almost sure to catch stripers.
Get an Ugly Stik Lite Salmon Steelhead 8'6 spinning rod MH or Heavy action, paired with a penn fierce 5000 reel, load it with 20-40 pound braid/fireline. Works for me.
Just got the book. Love it. Read it twice. Good learning book.(I am noob). Thank You John.
If you guys know where Hobart beach is, they have nice porgys good size too. Theres fluke and occasionally stripers. try it out. its near montauk sort of and near northport. asharoken to be exact
It's a rocky bottom there, and I try to swim the bucktail a couple feet above the bottom.
Over a sand bottom with lighter tackle and a slower retrieve.
Thank you. The books support my video expenses.
You’d be better off with a 560 slammer for that application. The 550SSg is a little undergunned for inlets, and a little small for a 10-footer. I’d use 30# Spiderwire Stealth.
Yes, thank you!
I'd go with a Penn SSV 5500 for the reel. You should have plenty of rod choices.
right away.
Good logic. Thanks for the help.
@dlalger7
50# in the bays and sometimes sound, 125# otherwise.
MR Skinner why does it look like you have someone behind that rock hooking up fish to your line, every time you cast you get hooked, im only kidding. im a big fan of yu i have both of your books, i even have the same alfits as yours, lamiglas rod, ugly stik rod, penn ssg, penn slammer, pen battle, all with 50# test braided lines. i really consider you my teacher or my fishing coach. i just wanted to thank you for all the information you provide in your 2 great books and on your youtube channel.
Please be more specific. Do you mean the rod or the terminal tackle?
Roughly where are you fishing? If you're south of New England, right now the bass fishing is tough due to warm water. Bait presence helps, but is not necessary.
great video John - love that Lami!
I don't use a teaser when surfcasting with bucktails.
@nycfisher1
Not bait, but a strip of #50 Uncle Josh Pork Rind.
It corkscrews through the water. Not sure what the bass are thinking hitting it.
I remember days like this , I haven't had one in about 5 years though.

I can't imagine a better place for bucktails. Just be sure to fish light enough to swim above the structure and not get snagged.
Yes, but the water might be a little warm right now.
ok thanks john appreciate the info
bucktails, tins, and poppers. Cast as far as you can.
have you thought about doing a video for them because im sure alot of fisher men, including me, would like to see them. there also my go to bait when i get into the canals of the marshes and stripers are really looking at the actions and colors
have you ever tried storm paddle tail swim baits. i had just bought some for this season. the ones i have are around 2-3 inches and i have them in a white shad and a bunker.
As I said in the narration, that was about 45 minutes of fishing edited down.
This one is custom built on a 9-foot lamiglas mb1083m blank.
John, great video. Would you mind shooting a video like this on the south shore (ocean sandy beach). This would be very helpful, thanks.
It works anywhere there are stripers.
I don't think either casts further than the other.
thanks so much for the advice it really helps me out alot. Tight Lines.
Thanks alot. Caught some fluke today with this info.
Mono is fine for stripers in these waters.
custom lami on an mb1083m blank
Alright thank you, i catch bluefish when i mainly go so i try to stay out of the open where they are, they eat the hair off of the bucktails .
Usually #50 or #240

East of Mattituck
Will do.
alright thanks a lot i really appreciate it
April and May should be good.
Eastern Long Island Sound
There's no such thing. That's why those of us who do all of that fishing have many rods . A 7, 9, and 11 footer can cover it all. A 9 medium is a good all around rod, but underpowered on a jetty and too big in the yak.
Sure, but I prefer pork rind because it holds up better.
this is 14 minutes of you pulling strippers out of the water one after another I love it.
In this case I'm retrieving immediately because the water is only 10-12 feet deep over a rocky bottom.
Coz he's selling the book. That's actually a smart move...
John, great video and fantastic book. I actually wanted to ask you at the Amityville show, "Do you ever bucktail the open south shore beaches during the Spring months April-June? Or do you focus more on the traditional springtime areas like back bays and inlets? " Thanks

Mr skinner I just read ur book and watched this video like a million times and yesterday I caught the biggest striper yet off a bucktail and this technique on a jetty. Can't wait to get back out there, and do u mind sharing tthe map coordinates to this place
