Love your videos, John. Started watching them last year when I bought my first salt boat, and started fluking last year. Yesterday my daughter caught a 12 lb. 4 ounce fluke between CT and NY. Reminded me of this video so I had to come back and watch it. Thanks for the great stuff you put out there.
Congrats to your daughter!!
So awesome to see that fish released and off to produce more monsters. Such a great fishing team you guys make when ever you hit the water. I think Skinner has that effect on people.
Skinner lands a 12lber and I get a handicapped fluke...fml.
Hahaha 😂
I had a fluke that was camouflaged on both sides. It wasn’t a keeper and the phone that had the picture was destroyed by water 7 years ago.It was so neat..I wish I still had the picture. That was a mutant fish that wasn’t weird but, rather a unique thing to see.
He fishes in New York. The huge ones live over there
Great video and nice catch John. See you next week.
Nice camera work
Skinner, just make sure you let Rick now who puts you on the fish next time you’re on the Blu Jay :)
Nice John, my buddy nailed 2 12+ lbers back to back fishing the Shinnecock Star about 10 yrs ago, Capt. John said he never saw anything like that, my buddy was definitely on fire that day.
Shout out to all the guys, great job and great video as always. be seeing ya.
Jay
Cool. Yes, shinnecock definitely has its moments. I can't imagine two of those in a day.
After watching several of your underwater videos I am surprised that I never see you guys pulling up doubles. Great video thanks.
I caught a double yesterday. Both were shorts though
Stud, congrats again!
EliasVFishing still some season left if you can make the drive north - remember the sandwich too :)
Hi, that boat was my family’s boat. It’s was a 1987 25’ Searay Sundancer named boatwiser. We just had it serviced at lighthouse marine in Greenport for shift linkage adjustments and my parents just put in in the water the day after. The blowers where on in the boat at the time of the fire. There was a gas leak coming from the carburetor that we where not aware of. And gas was filling the hull. They where in the middle of turning the boat around to head back when it exploded.
Wow. I'm so glad no one was hurt. It was a shock to see how a fiberglass boat burns. Thanks for giving the background on what happened.
Whoa! Crazy. Glad you all made it out alright.
Fishing always picks up after you yell at Halkias...lol, very nice fish John
csralumni poor Halkias will be in a 30 day facility recovering from the emotional trauma!
Awesome trip! I literally fished near Mike Kim on a boat on labor day, and he introduced himself saying, "I am Jigging World" lol. Now I understand why :-)
When John put down the gopro to take pictures of the 12 pounder, in my mind, I was like "John pick me up and show me the fish!!" lmao
Great fish and video.
They told me about your fish at Tackle world when I was there this morning.
NIIIIICE. FISH. Great to see the release too. Congrats John!
Damn, you guys throwing back 12's and I can't get dinner !!
Good thing it wasn't on Salmon Red
so this is the fish you guys were talking about! nice fish skinner! way to go fellas! always on the meat #fishon
And now we know how it happened!
Wow, that fish was amazing....
Also, very happy that all made it off that inferno, safely. Pretty scary stuff..
Halk, great netting lol
(I always chuckle when I hear, get 'a net'....who the hell is this Annette) Buhdumbum
And stop calling me Shirley
thats awsome i caught a 13 inch fluke the other day on gulp sandworm the fish go crazy for those things and i defenetly reccomend them for newbs but they are a pretty good bait tho but im gonna try bucktail fishing so hanks for showing me what catches fluke best
Great video as always!
Have you noticed a difference regarding which side of a ledge you fish? For example have you notice better fishing on the down side (going from 60 feet to say 65) compared to the upside (going from 65 to 60)?
Thanks again,Scott
Downside slightly better because they use the current to wash food over the top and they can lay out of the current and ambush.
Nice! You need a personal netter like a golf caddy!
Thanks for the videos, I have had my best fluke season ever.
Congrats Sir! great stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great video
Another favorite video. Kudos upon your Flounder there. Tough loss on that fiery incident, but as we all know, that can be replaced!!! 😬😬😬
Very interesting day there. Awesome catch Skinner!
Wow that fire was BAD. Fire on a boat is really scary. I almost had the same situation last week when an old lighter stayed on after being put away and torched a paper towel roll and other flammable things. Caught the fire just in time. Was several miles out into the ocean and this was perhaps my worst boating mishap in 20 years. Gotta stay safe.
Sounds like you don't really know what your doing if you're storing lighters next to flammable materials. Smh
Congratulations John - what a huge fish!
Nice fish Mr Skinner
My dad (world’s greatest fisherman) could catch a 5 lb bass from a 3” deep mud hole in an interstate rest stop on any day of the week....but I have to say John Skinner is better. :). You’re world class John!
Congrats John. Great fish!!
Awesome video again John! Keep up the great work!
yeah SKINNER, calm down. You caught a million fish, settle down. Stop snapping at the crew.
Was oit fluke fishing in NJ and your name and salmon colored gulp came up mare then once. You have gone viral..
That one was a beast Skinner!
Wow.... great flounder ... wish we had them here in the uk ... terrible fire... brings home how vulnerable you can be out on the sea.
Congratulations John, you deserve it.
Nice BIG FLUKE! Hopefully that boat was ok!
This is for Steve Tautog, you would be surprised at the percentage of people that are in the same situation as you are, I for one am still working and i'm over 67 yrs old, I don't plan on retiring till i'm 70 the new American Dream, yea, I could have retired 10 yrs ago, but I would not be able to do the things I do now if I did, I am a systems engineer, I went to night school to get my degree, while working a job I hated, I personally know people in the same situation, keep the faith brother, you could win the lotto tomorrow.
Hey John just checking to see if you retired after your monster? LOL
Hey John, Im heading out to Montauk this week for some fluke. Not looking for exact spots or numbers but just a general idea, I am bringing my nephew and I would love to put him on some decent fluke and see that smile of his. Thank you.
You'll see the fleet a couple of miles out on the south side.
John are ALL those boats flounder fishing? WOW! If they are I would expect the legal limit to fall for your area in the next few years! That's a lot of boats and fish caught EVERYDAY!
Its actually supposed to increase next year
I'm moving up there!!!!
Great video, awesome fish ! But wow he loves to yell at people !
Insane! Total loss on that boat. Nice fluke!
👍🏻 for releasing keepers
A great fishing day!
Great video and as always very informative John. I'm struggling with the light action rod (I believe) you and the jigging jerks use? Wouldn't a light action rod absorb most of the jigging action at the end of the rod??
That nexus H with 4 inches off the tip handles 2-6 ounces nicely.
How many inches is a fluke that big?
Most likely between 30-32"
I'm across the Sound in S.W. Conn. Would the 2 jig teaser setup work for casting and jigging in the marshes in my kayak do you think?
Yes.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing thank you for the quick reply. Love your channel
No need to get ugly about it, John! It's supposed to be relaxing and fun...LOL! Did you weigh it?
Hey john what reel and rod combo are you using I’d like to get a copy. Love your videos. My dad use to fish the sound and Wantagh and montauk and Jones beach. Hopefully I get to visit. Thanks again John. Always mike
There are links to all of the gear in the video description. The teasers and jigs are in there too.
Hello John, I just purchased the quantum AC100 HPT for wading and inshore fluking/small game purposes. What rod would you recommend? I don't know much about baitcasting reels to match up a proper rod. Just finished reading "A Season on the Edge" while on vacation, good read thank you.
Great video John, as usual! How deep are you fishing and what weight jigs are you using? Thanks
70-90 feet. 2-4 ounces this trip.
Awsome catches!
Hey John, the rod Michael Kim is using (at 1:17) is that a Jigging World Ghost Hunter slow pitch 6' 5"?
Not sure. Maybe a JW Shogun, another sweet rod.
Love the videos John! What is your PB fluke?
John how deep were you guys fishing and how many oz. Bucktail? Just curious as to how much lead to get the 15 pound braid deep?
2 - 4 ounces, 70-90'
is the Nexus acid wrapped? Now that i've fished a whole season with an acid wrapped rod I'll never go back.
It is, and I understand.
So not to sound stupid but what does it mean If its acid wrapped?...
John, I fish near you I live on the Niantic river so we are both fishing the long island sound. I'm looking for the best all around baitcaster I can buy. What do you recommend? I want longevity and quality. What is a good rod to pair it with? Mainly fluke FYI
Check the gear links in the video description. I'd go with the nexus, trimmed 4 inches off the tip, quantum accurist, 15# braid, 30# leader.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing If you don't mind me asking what makes for say the Nexus better than the trevala S by Shimano and the quantom better than a high end Shimano bait caster. I'm newer to the fishing scene and discovered your channel and you inspired me to begin fluking. I actually just picked up some of the orange gulp that you recommend in a previous video!
I use the quantum because of the flipping switch feature, which no one else has that I'm aware of. The Nexus is currently my favorite rod for this fishing, but I have not compared it to the trevalia.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing awesome. Thanks for your aid John!
99% of the time John Skinner is high hook There is more to it then just luck. Congrats on the 12 lb . ,very nice. I'm looking for double -digit. 12 will work. LOL Keep jigging......
Hey John, do you think I could get away with a 7’ M Slimwave (it’s what i already have) for blackfish if I cut it down a bit? If so, how much would you cut?
Which one? But the answer will be "yes".
Hey John, does the new accurist s3 have the same 8x5mm slot for the power handle upgrade like the accurist PT?
yes
Way to go Skinner!!!
I've watched nearly all your videos. They have helped me go from a few here and there to potential limits if I kept them.
First person to show me a bucktail for flounder and I've been using white 3/4 oz buck paired over pink 4 inch gulp mullet. Killing em with that combo. You mention orange alot; is that your go to color or one your researching currently?
I'm glad the vids help. Orange is definitely my goto deeper than 50 feet., and it works fine shallower too.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing orange or "salmon red"?
I was on the water that day and saw the fire too
Seeing this video I’m dying to get out and use that orange gulp. I made the mistake of mahi fishing on lobster pots only to see one the whole time we were out there
I was fishing cerubus, i think i saw this smoke from there.
Gary Gross maybe - it was pretty thick and you were about 17/18 miles away
@@jiggingjerks Sure. I should have come out past the point. That day. I have a 21 hydrasport, looked flat enough.
Gary Gross one of the rare days this year that it was
Orange gulp?
John, Whats happening on the surf?.... No more surf vids?
Water is puke warm and most of the action is in the dark at the moment.
Looks like a lot of people know that location. Is it possible to get a general idea? ??
Montauk.
Where are they fishing ?
eastern LI NY
John Skinner Fishing ahhh thanks
I saw on other videos names like Montauk and greenport
I usually fish a bit further north off the vineyard
On the underwater videos is it common for there to be not enough light?
What day was this trip?
Don’t get how he does it
Why are you always talking about the orange gulp? Is it because everybody will think the orange is magic, since it’s been in a few good videos?
After 1.5 seasons with it, it's definitely my preferred color in deep water.
that boat fire is a good reason to fish more on rick's boat..he wont have to worry bout that..
Nice flounder, literally looks like a doormat.
John, where did this trip take place?
eastern LI, NY
@@JohnSkinnerFishing : John, I'm on the Island too, I recognized where the boat was on fire but where were you fishing? Not looking for numbers or anything, just a general area.
Montauk.
Anyone have any bad experiences buying through J&H? Im skeptical to order through them. I need another rod for an upcoming tournament on the 22nd of Sept. Looking to get the Tsunami. I see posts and reviews of people never getting their items or very long waits.
J bear they’ve been amazing for me. Even call me after I place an order to discuss alternatives
I've ordered bucktails through them without any issues
Is the boat a cobia 237
Tyler Critelli no - Cobia 256 now called the 261
@@26halkman nice thanks for the reply love ur videos
Guess we like the red gulp!
Too bad I couldn’t see the guy on the other boat faces when skinner pulls up the 12lb fish.
I simply can't understand you John. How can you be so casual about the 12lb fluke? Anybody else would have shit a chicken.
I wasn't casual! The "Efff Yeah!" was edited out!
Good just making sure. Always thought you were more of a shit yeah kinda guy tho lol
Abraham Betesh you catch a little of Skinners fist pump as soon as it hit the deck.
I like to see the diversity in fishing
What app do you use
For editing? Adobe Premiere Elements Pro. Navigation? - Navionics.
John Skinner Fishing no just the navigation sorry I was not so specific there but thanks. Love the content you post
