A Fisherman Did This And Went From Zero To High Hook!

[@Flukeallday]

There’s just something special about bottom fishing. My favorite type of fishing. Love setting that hook!

[@reggieb1963]

Yes bottom fishing is my favorite too. I love catching Porgy bottom fishing Massachusetts in May and June...

[@Tommy.OrginalvideosPhilly]

When I fluke fish In cape may I fish a rod with bucktail and teaser using gulp or mackerel strips and with a light spinner I use for live bait, little snapper blues or minnows... I am always successful! Thanks for being a inspiration John

[@EYESandHEART]

I now drink Gulp Juice John. I can finally go all night; long and strong. Thanks for the encouragement👍💪🐟

[@tonybishop51]

I’m really impressed with those big aluminum boats. They look more than capable for the task at hand

[@usagrigio]

Jhon, you’re just the best. Thank you for teaching us how to catch flounder.

[@jamescollins6312]

Its so relaxing just watching you guys just catching fish after fish

[@ryankeul7737]

Love these flounder videos. Would like to see y’all clean them at the end.

[@EYESandHEART]

Great Idea Ryan👍

[@clevjam]

clean and cook

[@obdrumguard]

I believe he may already have a flounder filet video

[@Bluegillandbass]

Great day on the water I never saltwater fish but it looks like a lot of fun

[@markcarson1844]

Great stuff John, thanks for all you do. I love these shows!!!

[@michaelchen1217]

What I do with my gulp is I add a generous amount of salt to the gulp juice, and it really hardens them up nicely. They can be a little difficult to thread on a hook though!

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

That is one I haven't heard before. Very interesting!

[@BalmandMrryhofGilead]

Mr. Skinner, TAKE ME FISHING!!!

[@nikmar1338]

Can’t wait to watch when I get home from school👍

[@philbarrows424]

Nice flattie Johnny👍🏻👍🏻

[@fierceflyer5]

Recharging definitely works. Tested it yesterday. Great drifts when I did, and poor results when I didn’t. Glad I bought that bottle of gulp juice.

[@ashwinvasan375]

Can you mix different gulp baits and combine their juices? For instance dumping swimming mullets and shrimp and their juices into the same jar? Couldn’t tell from the video if the baits were assorted or just the colors.

[@archieoutdoors1776]

Nice Fluke nearing the end of the season!

[@superbowlchampioneagles8471]

Caught my biggest fluke ever last week. (20 inches) and its small compared to all these fish. i guess the fish are smaller in south jersey.

[@mikeknottscreek8183]

Enjoyed the video immensely!

[@dmvfishingdude]

Nice job Guys! John, I used the gulp recharge the past month and its MONEY! Thanks for the tips and keep up the awesome vids! John if you have a chance, try a flounder fried rice. It’s pretty delicious! I made a vid of how to cook it on my channel. Thanks for sharing your vids again!

[@vincentlivoti4184]

Hi John: Have you ever tried any of the Chatterbaits used for Bass & Pike fishing for Fluke, Flounder or Strippers? They make them up to 2 oz.

[@brentsnider4366]

Great video as always you make it look like shooting fish in a barrel! Even have Rick watching your KZbin videos now. Haha 😄

[@juans3728]

That's a first hearing someone giving you advise as to how to catch fish.

[@wishinone]

Don't know when you'll head back south but the reds are moving in, got 7 this morning before storm chased me to shore.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Mid-November. Nice catch! I miss the reds.

[@jimholmes8086]

Nice hair John 🤣. Love the videos. Keep em comin. Tight lines.

[@mariocaviris8234]

Great video! I was wondering if i were to put all my different colored grubs into a jar would the colors change/leak?

[@brianbarrett3468]

Awesome videos John, what kind of boat are you fishing from? Size, make , model if you don't mind, thanks.

[@jiggingjerks]

It’s a 32 Metal Shark Fearless. Sick boat! Attached, shamelessly, is a review of this boat I did 2 years ago. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZOYY3yXhcaNbZo

[@supremekarate1]

When you Fluke fish from the surf. Is that primarily just a day time fishery? Do you ever catch Fluke at night from the surf?

[@anthonylawlor9130]

John, when you refer to "recharging", do you mean gulp recharge? Great footage as usual, very nice fishing!!!

[@paulmoss7940]

He has a link to the recharge juice as well as all eq. used.

[@larryvenkler4935]

Me and my son struggled catching big flounder and suggestions that might help

[@carlosrios9031]

Yes take me fishing too I had a bad season this year smh

[@NJFresh9]

Mr. Skinner have u tried the gulp spray? Would love to know if that works the same way!

[@scootersays]

Hey John, have you ever done any videos on gear care/maintenance, on how to keep everything in good working condition? Just thinking like what do you use, a spray cleaner? What oils, lubes or grease do you use?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

We spray the rods with freshwater after every trip, but when the season ends I make sure I put oil on the corners of the thumb bar. I do that during the season occasionally too.

[@Tyler-kw9ce]

What’s the approximate length on an 8lb fluke? What’s the minimum length?

[@anthonyocch4666]

Hi Mr Skinner can you tell what size were the bucktails you were using that day and what depths were you mainly fishing in. I want to swing by J&H and pick up a few. Thank you

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

50' 3-4 ounces.

[@anthonygiarrusso4312]

Hey John great video. How much longer do you think fluke fishing will last here in NY waters

[@thomastuorto9929]

I have a few containers of gulp(some never opened) mullet, crabs, shrimp & grubs for a few years. even the ones that were opened are hardly used. you think they are sill good? I do have a bottle of the gulp juice also that was never used & that has to be 3 years old also.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

They are 100% still good. I use old stuff without hesitation.

[@thomastuorto9929]

@@JohnSkinnerFishing Thanks.

[@jmatt1530]

Thank you for the knowledge ! Just recently started fishing in the Hampton Bay region of Long Island especially the jetty area of Shinnecock inlet. I am looking forward to the upcoming tautog season. Are there any areas better than others to fish in that area ? Thank you once again for all your posts.

[@mattbruzzese4171]

What is new rod your using in this video

[@theseptopus]

Way to go, Rick! Recharging at the dock has improved my catching, as well. Question: how much longer do you think the fluke will be around in the northeast?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

They should be off Montauk and LI's South Shore until the Sept. 30 close.

[@theseptopus]

@@JohnSkinnerFishing Thanks, John! I'm up in RI where fluke are open until Dec. 31st, but they will have moved into deeper waters well before then.

Is there a difference between the salt and freshwater gulp recharge juice? I'm looking some but can't any that distinctly say saltwater. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Not that I know of. I linked to what I was using in the video description.

[@JK-ny7nx]

Thanks and I really appreciate all your videos. Gives me a great baseline when targeting fluke for the first time.

[@walterkonopacki6881]

Hey john, just want to pass along some thoughts, been a long time fan of yours have your books going back before ytube became popular. When you got your boat and filmed those videos i could really relate having an 85 17, sea,nymph with a 90 hp. I'm retired with ss and a pension. I love your videos on your boat but now it seems they are all on ricks, docs, or jigging jerk boat out at montauk. Like one of those 300 yamaha is like my fishing budget for 10 years maybe more. It's getting kinda boring catching all those big fluke for us guys without the means that those guys have. Just something that has been bothering me and wanted to get it off my chest. Tight lines john

[@Bsuth72]

The best type of boat is your friends boat.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

I appreciate your input, but if you look at the combined number of trips I do on the beach, kayak, and my boat, they far outnumber the trips on my friends' boats. It takes a serious boat to fish Montauk. Mine won't cut it, so I go with my friends.

[@walterkonopacki6881]

Thanks for the reply john, appreciate you taking the time to get back to me, stay well and good fishen !

[@gbouley1]

So I understand, If you recharge the gulp whenever it's out of the water even Rick can catch fish? :) Tighlines

Hi Mr.Skinner, I don’t know if you posted a video on this already but can you post a video on how to tie a teaser hook on the line

[@rjkoelmel2094]

its called a dropper loop its super easy to tie just look up a youtube video on it or you can go back on skinners channel for how to tie his fluke rig either way its the same thing dropper loop

He has indeed made a video on how to tie the whole buck tail set up.

Please scare some of those fluke north to the CT shore!

[@neild2098]

John, did I notice another teaser in this video? Not the glass minnow, but is that an acid wrapped Dark Matter Skinner jigging casting rod in the early portion of the video?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

You have good eyes.

[@neild2098]

Ha, you tend to notice those things when you watch a video a dozen times or so, mining for every nugget of useable info. It is really beautiful, and the action seems to be spot on. Will be raiding the piggy bank for a spinning and casting. High trust in you that it will be tuned close to perfection when released. Will keep fingers crossed that they make market in time for blackfish season. Any reason you switched away back to the nexus after a bit?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

It's a near-perfect prototype. It's actually the third prototype. I won't let them make it until it's perfect. I switched back right after the first big fish hoping to get a good one on both rods so I could study the videos of how the rods performed with fish on.

[@neild2098]

Analytical as always! Thanks for doing the heavy lifting getting it just right.

[@gregazzara6830]

Did you cut 4 inches off that nexus rod or are you using the full 7 feet?

cut

[@PeterRanieriII]

John do you know if the gulp juice has different scents/flavors (ie shrimp vs crab vs swimming mullet)?

John it seems to me, you put the bad net job on Rick ;) Great video as always and thanks for sharing..

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Too many people don't get that. The guy on the rod has way more control over the situation than the guy on the net. The two big fish I had this trip are good examples of what the guy on the rod should do - drive the fish into the net and don't stop the forward motion.

Why not live bait? I think you professionals and scientists would put that in the mix just saying.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Because we've done it before, and I've done it numerous times. Killies, peanut bunker, snappers... The rapid jigging wins. Anyone my age grew up fishing bait for these fish. I was skeptical at first too, but I shot a lot of underwater video and did enough side by side tests in the last 10+ years to be convinced that for whatever reason, this works better.
