[@sergiok5684]

What is the name of the snooker lure and who makes it grate video

[@pauleohl]

If the sea robins are decent size, they make tasty filets. The yield is low, maybe 1 pound of filet from 5 pounds of round fish. IMO porgies are tastier if cooked with the bone in, scaled but with the skin on. I cut along the dorsal fin but leave the fin on.

[@josephdoran1399]

Welcome home Mr. Skinner tight lines for you and the John's.

[@ericbunch6772]

I miss bay , surf , and ocean fishing since I moved from your area 30 years ago . Was really nice to see you catch that fluke . Seems a bit early for them as I used to fluke fish constantly when in season . Thanks for the video , brought back many memories ! I subscribed based just on this , my first of your channel .

[@glenntruesdell8732]

Glad you are home safe John. You can catch bigger fluke than that back here in SW Florida!!

[@jefemaximo2537]

Nice. I love the Jumpin’ Minnow for bass, and have caught albies on it too. Plus, it’s much less-expensive than many other surf plugs. I often replace the rear hook with a bucktail trailer, which keeps me from catching the super-small bass, and it hasn’t diminished my ability to hook the larger fish.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Too bad they don't make larger ones.

[@lukesimpson9012]

Welcome home, Mr. Skinner. Hoping you, your family and your communities are safe and well. PS. Favor to ask, at end of vid before you move to fluke, might you consider in the future when observing "really big porgy," could you give us a measurement for scale? GoPro lens, it's hard to tell. Am curious if a Peconic big porgy is 12 in., 14 in., bigger? Thanks for considering.

@@JohnSkinnerFishing Hi John. Usually during the full moon in May we will get our squid run. It has slowed considerably over the years and my local bait shop guy goes to the Cape now where it is very good. We will get a sand eel hatch soon and that will trigger some good fluking. Best of luck from Newport.

John welcome back and a quick question please. Do you have your trolling motor mounted on top of your rail in the front? I’ve been struggling to come up with ideas for dealing with the rail that runs around the bow of my small cabin boat. Never thought about mounting it on top of the rail. Thanks Giovanni

I don't have a rail. Is that what you mean? Mine's mounted right on the deck.

[@gm1937]

@@JohnSkinnerFishing sorry I realized that after I took a closer look. Appreciate the reply.

G M - the guy that did mine also did a Steiger with a pronounced rail. From what I remember, he cut a section of the rail and welded in two sloping down pieces so there was a gap where the TM could be deployed

Hi John, where is the chum pot compared to where you drop your line. Do you try and stay within a couple of feet of the chum pot or do you drop the chum pot off the bow and fish off the stern? Thanks.

[@Matthew41188]

Hey John, long time follower... In regards to the porgy and blackfish techniques. Do you drop the jig right to the bottoms and let it sit for a given time or do you drop and then reel it up a few inches and let it hover close to the bottom. Dumb question I know but I'm knew to porgy/blackfish/ bottom fishing

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

In both cases it sits on the bottom.
