John Skinner Fishing I have a question could I still fish for flounder like this but with just one buck tail tied to the end of my line. Love the vids, and keep em up
Every time I watch your videos I am amazed at the success you have, you catch more flounder in 10min that I can jig up in 40hrs
I flounder fish along the Texas coast and there were several helpful tips that your video offered. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
John, you are the man! I met you once at the Providence boat / fish show. Everybody takes / steals your techniques. You're the only reason why people buy Gulp! Keep it up!
Well Mr. Skinner, your rig/technique does it again. Went out this afternoon and caught an 8.74 pounder. You have taught me everything I know. That fish goes to you!
Your flounder fishing ability and confidence always amazes me. I know what it takes to catch catfish and stripers, and I have the confidence any day I hit the water. As for flounder, I get my tail kicked by flounder! It is fun to watch you with your ability and confidence. One day, maybe, I will get to the point where I have the confidence you do on each trip. Very well done and informative videos. Thank you for what you do.
thanks for the awesome.videos john..ive been doing this in jamaica bay and carnarsie pier..and your right ..sometimes you have to weed through the small ones to get to the mats
JAYFISH718 it's a 1974 17' Starcraft he said in his last video
These vids have kept me pumped for a long time here in Florida. Going home to Newport for the first time In 12 years. Best believe there will be bale stuffed fluke soon after arrival.
Baked
Kyle Bryer baked.... not fried .... go get em Kyle .:)
Fantastic video. Always love them. Re: gulp vs bait...Gulps worth every penny and will never use bait again. Spro bucktails also great. Thanks John
John, I envy that new boat and the calm waters you fish upon. Coming from the west coast, seas that calm are few and far between. Excellent videos.
Hello John. I received my 6ft. Tsunami Slim Wave Rod today and you were right in saying it's (going to be) a FUN rod. I really like the feel. Thanks!
Thanks John NJ fishermen and love your videos..
I enjoy the narration - I learn things between the lines. .
This advice you gave us is unbelievable, i been catching fluke like crazy, Thank you so much
Nailing all these fish is no fluke....you are living the life and I am soo jealous! Good job, awesome video. I wish I could do this!
Congrats on your new 1974 boat! Great videos, I've learned so much from your videos, thank you sir!
Congrats on the new boat! I got a new-old boat this season too. Nothing like newer power on an older boat!
By far one of the best fluke videos!!!
Nice video fished ponquogue bridge got one nice fluke on a double bucktail set up you rock! Tight lines!
That fish which you called a sea robin is similar & looks identical to our gurnard which is a sought after & prized eating fish down here in New Zealand . Cheers from down under.
Love the new skiff....keep up the cool fishing tips....
Nice upgrade on the boat. Congrats.
John, you should do a list of the tackle you use on each trip
He does that on a lot of his videos. If it's not in this video, I'm surprised. If you watch his others, he goes into it in detail each time. He also has vids where it's all he talks about. Matching hook size to soft plastics, how to make bucktails, etc.
I like the new boat and when it comes to Flounder fishing, you make it look too easy!
Great video as always, John. As a subscriber to your channel, I always look forward to watching your new videos. Best of luck with the new boat.
new boat , cool vid john you rock! tight lines
nice day no better way to spend it, guess your a little far out for the kayak thanks for all the videos keep them going.
Congrats on the new boat John! Nice to see you back on the water. Fluke taste awesome! I have a hard time catching them though! Lol!
You will love your new boat! Got the same one!
Good way to break in the new boat, looks good John.
Unbelievable action!
Nice boat! noticed there's room for a guest aboard now
Awesome video! Thank you for this knowledge it will help so many fishermen!
Nice new boat. Good luck with it!!
Awesome video as always!! You have the touch!! You should do a video where you take a viewer out with you and fish together. Ill put my name first on the list and pay for the expensives for the day!!!
The NEW boat! Congrats
That's crazy good fishing. I use the same technique as you, but not as much luck. I do catch fish though. I don't think it's an issue with my technique, more so I suck at finding the fish lol. Love the new boat by the way.
Just caught my first fluke Saturday night New Jersey 28"!!
On Clams
Nice fish!
I was typing a question about a lefty reel as your comment came up. Haha!
Nice high gunnels and an eTec too boot!!!
Good luck with the new skiff John
John, would you mind doing a vid to show us what you look for on your fish finder such as bottom contour and depth?
Loving the full video commentary
Someday I hope to be a fish Jedi like you one day.
Good to see a lot of action even if they are shorts. Congrats on the new old boat. What did you do with your old boat? I think you should donate it to a local museum. On display, This is the boat of the greatest fisherman on Long Island. You’re famous already but it will only get bigger and everyone will want to see that boat, crab legs and all.
That would be awesome to see some longer striper videos, preferably on kayak
Another great video Mr Skinner, thanks for sharing.
Its funny your worst day of fishing is better than my best day of fishing EVER!!!
Mr. Skinner, you make it look so easy! I am just getting into boating and consequently fishing this year....I hope! I was wondering if you would put together a couple of flounder rigs/fluke rigs that I could purchase from you. When I go to the local fishing store they don't have what you mention on your videos and always tell me "oh....this is exactly the same!" but apparently it's not...ha ha! Actually the laugh is on me. They have my money and I have the stuff they couldn't sell to a more knowledgeable fisherman. Please consider getting me started I would really appreciate it! Thanks, Bill
When fishing with lures from the surf, what are good quality hooks to replace the original ones on lures like the sp minnow, x-rap, pencil popper... etc.
Hey john I saw that in your other videos you're using penn clash's I just got one in the 3000 size and am just curious which you prefer for all around use the 3000 or 4000 size. I know its only a few ounces difference and line capacity but just curious if you have a favorite yet?
Like the new boat 👍, hot bite
Curious about the John Skinner bucktails...looks an awful lot like a do it minnow head...only asking because I have the same mold... nevertheless a lot of fun watching you work them over again...flounder down here are over til November and your videos fill the void til then...keep them coming 😀
Not sure if it's a DoIt, but close enough.
Nice boat john, I like it!! I love your videos man!
aahhhaaa, I see thanks so much , great video, in joy new boat !!!
Dont you just love it when other boats stop to fish right on top of you because they see you catch a fish?
Any reason you wouldn't go to a bigger bait in this situation to try to get some bigger bites??
Superb question. I've tried it there numerous times. The bottom is just paved with so many fish it didn't help. The best strategy for me has been to just do numbers and cull. The next vid I post, shot on the same trip but 10 miles away, will show a switch to 6-inch grubs.
John, is this in the Long Island Sound?
nice new boat
"New" in this case is 1974! I like it though.
I came to post the same thing, but figured someone else had asked, too. Sure enough. :) What type of boat is this and what was your last one?
the engine is new. I am sure it will get the job done
Love the videos John. Do you have any tips for rapid vertical jigging in about 80 feet of water? Or is it pretty much the same concept
Hey John, I had some success this weekend with numerous 18.5 inch fish, and came away with one keeper. I used the exact same rig as depicted in this video but experimented with tipping the hooks with Gulp Sand Eels. Have you ever used them when the Fluke are feeding on Sand Eels?
Wow I enjoyed it so much!
i appreciate the comments on drift speed. do you have a formula on the weight of the bucktail for particular drift speeds?
John what are the top things you look for when trying to find a spot to fluke??
17:40 "Aw crap, it's Skinner. He's gonna make us look bad."
Congrats on the new boat John. I have the Helix 5 as well and works great for me. The SI on mine helps me find those drop offs and deeper holes easier. Another great video. Thanks for sharing! Do you think you can show your sonar every now and then to show where you are targeting them on the bottom? That will help others see how you are targeting the drop offs and understand that aspect of why fluke sit there more than other spots. Thanks.
BTW, the J&H website for buying the "John Skinner Fluke Bucktail" is not user friendly right now and hard to find the bucktails you mentioned let alone do a simple search. Maybe you can call them to fix it so we can order a few? Thanks.
Tight lines!
What's the make of the new boat? Looks like it may be the same as the old one?
Without expecting you to give away your secret spots, are we talking the ocean side or the Sound side here?
Hey John, will you ever go back to fishing from the kayak this year?
John, you listed the Tsunami Classic casting rod in your video description, but you're actually using a Tsunami Slimwave rod.
As far as you've observed, has depth of water ever produced larger/smaller fish?
Is there any Sea Bass fishing to be done around your area? That would be pretty cool.
nice video. boat looks good are you going to add a t top? thank you
Nice job as Always, good lack with NEW BOAT
nice boat i like it
Do you even need the buck tail?it seems they are all taking the glass minnow.Could you just drift with a sinker with glass minnow above?
The rod you are using is that shimanos solid graphite blank rod
like the new boat.. looks good.. all ways good to see ur new videos killing the fluke.. my sister lives in long island Babylon exist 33 Lindenhurst dont know any good fluke grounds..
John is there a app for your phone that tells drift speed? thank u as always! ! love the new boat enjoy tight lines
Hey John, I know you've done your fair share of fluke fishing here in Delaware. Do you have a color preference when you're here compared to other areas on the east coast? I'm looking at investing in some tackle to make some rigs like you use. Thought I would try with the smaller S&S Bucktails and Tsunami Glass Minnows first as I do not own a boat and I'm shore bound at the moment. I already have my gulp baits and Gamakatsu hooks. Tight lines!
Mr skinner if you want to catch porgies go to gold spits pound I went to day and I caught at least 20 16 inches porgies
Hey John, I think you need a few more coolers on your boat, 7 minimum
Why not use the bait holder hook as a teaser like you did in another video?
John, when trying to cull keepers out of shorts would it be a good idea to use a 6 inch grub on the buck tail? The whole big bait for big fish saying seems like it would result in you catching more big fish
Good video
Can you add some links in the description of the rod, reels, and your lures
More striper and blues fishing please!
The bass I'm getting are at night, so no video.
How are you grabbing that Flounder when you remove the hook. I can't really see it.
I grab em by the back of the head where the skull meets the spine
Hey John. Any suggested variations for flounder fishing down in NC? I'm in the Wilmington/Wrightsville Beach area, and don't really have a large saltwater sound to drift around in, but have tried the inside of a few inlets and am considering heading nearshore (just off the beach). Have a similar setup (bucktail on the bottom, and gulp swimming mullet on top just on a hook). Should I just be looking for little ledges?
Congrats on your new boat John...Wish you many flatties in the future.
Are you North/South shore? And what town are you fishing near/out of? Thanks Bill.
Bill Hooker 😁
No 10 mile video yet - curious whether yr going to move east or west - nice video ...
is this still long island sound or on the ocean side?
My grandpop has a 17 foot Boston whaler it's nice but the best we caught on that boat was almost a 3 foot shark but it went away
Water temperatures.... what's the sweet spot for hooking keepers?
do you keep the spool open or that's just a good spot to hold it for jigging
Hey I have a question, what would be the best setup for fluke in Moriches Bay? near the inlet?
i pay attention to every detail in your videos and i notice every time you drop to the bottom you give hal a revolution of the reel handle...is that to just get the bucktail slightly off the bottom or sumthing else?
John those Tsunami slim wave rods have a beautiful bend. I'm seriously considering buying one (even though I have plenty of fluke rods). You've used a bunch of fluke rods. How would you rate them against the very best you ever used. Keep them videos coming.
I've been choosing that over the others, so I guess I like it better for that weight range(3/4-ounce). It was a prototype though, so differs slightly from the ones in the store.
they must be stacked up in there.
Hey John, what model boat are you now using? I herd you say 1974, it is a beautiful boat. I'm Interested in something similar.
Andrew Demarco StarCrafts are nice old school boats
mr skinner i am close to st Augustine fl the inter coastal do you think they wold be there pleas hit me back thank you
Does this technique work good on strong currents?
