Big Sea Bass Slam! Mixed Bag Jig Fishing

[@dudedude4375]

Your videos are amazing... I feel like I’m in a fishing 101 class listening to a professor explain what fishing is really about..

[@HeavilyArmed]

Hey John, I started trying out the Gulp minnow grubs and shrimp this season. Fished LIS my whole life from shore and boat, never used Gulp until this season. From the beach I was throwing the New Penny 3" shrimp and the pink minnow grubs on a 1/2 ounce jighead and caught fluke, sea robin and even some stripers almost every catch. Great videos man thank you so much!

[@Lionfish-Scuba-Fishing-Travel]

Hi John, Great video like normal. I got out on my boat for the first time Friday and had 14 Keeper Sea Bass. I was saying to my fishing partner I have to use the underwater camera that you use and I bought because of you! Thanks for all your good advice.

[@efrainmontero5138]

Love to see you respect the laws of fishing, thats why you have good luck fishing

[@t.bvck.9173]

you got to have a diver down there putting those fish on the hook for you!

[@coffeequeen88]

ya ur right

[@ericzimmerman3950]

the seabass were still around on may 18th.on a deep drop at townsends reef in 120 ft. great videos john.

[@sandreoni1]

Not one sea robin? now that's amazing.

[@ronsuda7555]

great video as always those fish hung around there last year into the beginning of July water temps are behind this year so that bodes well the party boat will start pounding them on opening day so a lot of the easy fish will go quick

[@SilkBathLuxuries]

This looks so effortless for you... we went fishing yesterday on a boat out of belmar beach NJ on the miss belmar princess, we had clams for bait, I also tried gulp swimming mullet but that did nothing for me sadly.. I did catch 2 small sea bass keepers..it was so difficult to keep the clams on the hook, they seemed to slurp it right of the hook .. your tail bait seems to work so well ... this was a fun video thanks

[@yuanhaoyu9679]

that boat is not good. Try jamaica2 and dauntless this summer. It is easy to get the limit.

[@Jpetrakakos]

Thanks, John. Hope they bite for ya in the season. Cheers.

[@matthewficco7090]

wow John that's a super effective rig you got there everything in the ocean seemed to hit it at least from a boat. I can't see myself on one anytime though I'm a surfcaster what can I say. Great videos John

[@coffeequeen88]

#texas rig

[@elguapo9268]

great looking sea bass

[@hooper4581]

As always outstanding! Thanks for taking us pal

[@beastmodefishing1441]

Wow that was an epic number of sea bass.

[@rodneyharris7246]

Awesome video!!! Nice double hook up!!! Very cool looking Sea Bass and nice size!!!! Take care and tight lines!!!!

[@AlexanderBronskyFishing]

i didn't know sea bass got that blue coloring on their head! those are certainly some dandies. nice video!

[@rcfrenzy]

Awesome sea bass double, both good looking fish!

[@xbubbleheadssn699]

I really enjoy your fishing videos. Wish I could catch flounder like you. I live down here on the Delmarva Peninsula but haven't had the success with the flounder in a long time. when we do catch them, they are less than the 16 inch size limit. Maybe I need to try using a John Skinner bucktail. Tight Lines John.

[@stephenmessana4305]

What the..... north shore is amazing though, so under appreciated, excellent job! Not surprised though.

[@watertothepeople]

Great Video! These Sea Bass are very beautiful fish!

[@rosco3659]

I guess you know where to go when sea bass season opens !

[@burningredsun]

Looks like you are fishing on a 80's Starcraft Mariner 18....great boats !!

[@browhat1234]

Its at least a C+

[@anthonygregorio2208]

John you should watch your language. Their might be young fisherman watching LOL. That was priceless. Great video as usual.

[@SilkBathLuxuries]

Hi John great video will you consider doing a catch and cook Black Sea bass ? I’ve been catching them this summer

[@alexanderburgos8200]

Where in Long Island where you fishing? Out of What bay? Also what time is best?

[@jhulbe]

Thats a nice double hookup

[@Netguyhill]

As usual, phenomenal video.

[@outdoorswithroostercurrie6984]

Another AWESOME video. I'd love to be able to spend a day or two out on the water with you. I could learn a lot from you.

[@rayrockusa]

what area are you fishing on the sound? Mattituck? Orient? always amazed hardly any boat action. Thanks

[@tonyfleck236]

Great video and fish. Do you think it makes a difference if I use high visibility line as long as I use a fluoro leader?

[@brandonleboon1102]

I noticed u fish with a buck tail and a teaser, you also net most of the fish similar to me. When ever I use this rig and catch a nice flounder , I go to net it and the hook with no fish usually gets snagged in the net do you have any tips to avoid the snags in the net. (I always fish with the barbs pinched.

[@robertpratt9397]

You are the fluke master I've learner alot from you master John , are in the long Island sound in most of your clips or out front ?

[@rod5330]

John it's extremely painful to see you have to throw back those seabass!! i'm crying

[@WanderingWonderer10]

There's something about your videos, not sure if it's your luck or skill or editing, it makes me want to shirk my household duties and get out there! Thanks for sharing!

[@evankamoen9370]

when you fish the humps and ledges like you did in this video , are the dropoffs rock or sand / reef

[@michaelfuchs6730]

Would love to know about where they’re fishing!

[@carloss4819]

Would this be a good combo for a sea bass fishing on a party boat? (Rod and reel). Early season

[@candymantackle5684]

how do you easily take off otter tale after you put it on being it has a hole and not a slit like uncle josh and the barb catches???

[@Runndeep]

You make good videos, very informative.

[@patmcdermott8547]

Do you still mash the barbs flat on your jigs?

[@gulp_man1026]

What part of Long Island do you fish? Jones Beach?

[@troyfairweather8553]

maybe do a under water cam for the sea bass when it opens will be very cool thanks for the great videos

[@8879576only]

good Job John , can you please tell me what kind of little fishing boat you got thanks much J

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

1974 Starcraft 16-ft

[@chienhuynh455]

Dear MR John skinner fishing. How are you today? i really like your clip. Great fushing. May i ask where do you fishing at?

[@stachbbigpatriot2010]

What area are you fishing in...... and how far off from the beach??

[@Teach_1ne]

I have the old glass minnows and they suck so badly!! The gulp doesn’t stay on the hook. Have to get the bait holders

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

The newer silicone skirt ones are all that I'm using now. The longer shank and baitholder barbs save gulp.

[@blakeshaw5272]

I'm in Florida and we get 10 over 13" all year.

[@MattTetraultRIYakFishing]

Great video john! What make/model is this boat? I love the space and setup of this!!

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

1974 Starcraft customized to a Center Console.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

16-feet

[@MattTetraultRIYakFishing]

Great looking boat. I am looking for something very similar and can't find one anywhere!

[@chienhuynh455]

Great fishing

[@dannyrc223]

Thank you Good fishing

[@MrSurfcaster76]

Putting on a damn clinic! Love your videos. Tight lines! 👍🏾

[@HOLLYWOOD-nd2pe]

wow a double header on sea bass.. niiiice

[@joedoug3647]

I have never seen so much blue color on the sea bass

[@shorethingfishing4044]

is that a slammer 3 in the rod holder?

[@bobmarley-mf3eg]

Peace. I LOVE ya videos. I usually watch for the Stripers (My Love) never seen you go for Sea Bass. I was out last night on the Brooklyn 6 out of Brooklyn (No luck). Im headed out on the Hel Cat II next weekend. They are going for the Sea Bass. HOW CAN I GET THE EXACT RIG YOU HAVE THERE? THE JIGS. Thanks again man. OH!! What happened to the kayak? Or I usually see you standing out on the rocks (Getting Wet) lol.

[@shorethingfishing4044]

bob marley you could probably get all the stuff for his rigs at j&h tackle

[@bobmarley-mf3eg]

Thanks Shore Thing (lol, nice name) I will take a look.

[@shorethingfishing4044]

bob marley thanks and np

[@bobmarley-mf3eg]

John, can you put the link to the GRUB. Im not finding it anywhere except on amazon.

[@bobmarley-mf3eg]

www.jandh.com/search?man%5B%5D=&q=GULP+GRUB i THINK THIS IS THE RIGHT ONE.

[@mandarinfever6244]

Hey I don't fish sea bass and I want to get into it. I was wondering can you grab a sea bass by the lip or do they have teeth?

[@bethcohen8920]

MandarinFever 62 small ones u can but big one have sharp teeth that hurt I just hold them by the gills if they are big

[@Johnfor3]

So did you go back for the Black Bass in a few days later?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Yes, and I couldn't buy one where the video was recorded. They moved deep.

[@onemoo1223]

What kind of rig we're u using??????

[@sandiegorules1]

how effective do you think that the buck tail would be on the California wwith halabiut

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

I have been told that it works. If those fish eat other fish, it should work.

[@cd5JDM]

John what kind of boat are you on?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

1974 16' starcraft

[@cd5JDM]

@@JohnSkinnerFishing Thanks John! That boat looks to be the perfect size for me!

[@williambullard430]

Good video sir !

[@glenn888]

John take it to the next level! Trolling with a conibear trap. THe trap wound probably crush the fishes head and make great video! Watching is tedious when their just playing with it Just a thought.

[@jj01a]

What are you looking for in structure?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

slopes, drop-offs, high spots - depth changes really.

[@blakeshaw5272]

what is your season on sea bass, size and limit?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

3@15'' starting 6/27. Some different regs later in the season.

[@silkmothspinnery]

What state is this please?

[@muckin100]

NY

[@disgoplus]

what are your boat specs ??

[@civic30045]

What happens if you prick your finger on their spines ?

[@coffeequeen88]

aww yea bait caster i love those

[@larryfuria5806]

Are you fishing on long island ny

[@fishydubsfishing6516]

how can you start with a dirty boat?

[@tonyp2135]

Does this rig work anchored for seabass?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Yes.

[@tonyp2135]

Actually tried it today got my limit! 😊😊

[@tylercahill7859]

where did you fish what state?

[@nickedward426]

Ny

[@ivanhoneymanharmonstovall2625]

Ok? What ocean was this filmed on? omg..... Is this in California

[@coffeequeen88]

u almost got hooked by that spinner bait

[@toddboron9715]

John, the Long Island Sound God! My buddy and I love your videos! Would it ever be possible to pay you for your time one day and go out and charter our boat to have a experience like we see in your videos. Pay for everything and your time. Please let me know.

[@bobmarley-mf3eg]

Yes!!!! I would love to pay for a slot on that trip. Hope he says yes.

[@shawngibbs6973]

I just wanna know how you can call it fishing if you just keep throwing the fish back in

[@douchelyfegaming64]

Regulations bro, can’t take the sea bass cause the season was closed

[@brooklynoutdoorsman9969]

Holy shit is rite lol great video john

[@teecee211]

I lol'd when i heard that - think that's the first time i heard Mr. Skinner cuss and I like it! I fish the Gulf and wish folks down this way fished flounder more with this technique (rapid, vertical jig). I think it helps to avoid gut hooking flounder smallies.

[@brooklynoutdoorsman9969]

tee cee it's the first time I herd him curse to lol but up here 2 sea bass that size on at one time just before the open season is like you have every number but 1 or 2 in the lottery winnings to good to be true and it's good Mr Skinner got it on video because that would have been a fishing story and as far as vertical jigging rapid your rite I have the same experience with not gut hooking them with this technique and flounder (fluke) and stripers up here are our snook and redfish of the southern area and also will say Mr Skinner awesome fisherman if there's water he can catch fish from it...

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

So you get them down there jigging - yes?? I've had them casting Gulps in SW Florida.

[@teecee211]

John Skinner Fishing Yes. In the Gulf in Texas! Was very skeptical that vertical jigging would work here bc you are taught to work slow and when u feel the bump, bump, open the bail or let out line, wait 30secs (they say smoke a cigarette), then set the hook. This method to me is a sure way to gut hook. I can personally attest to catching using vert jigging incl flounder and speckled trout. My rig is the one you show in your videos (bucktail on bottom with gulp shrimp one ft above). I wade fish and so I'm not lighting em up like you do (and vert jigging can be tiring), but it works. So big thanks to you for your videos!

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Excellent, and I appreciate you sharing that. I cringe at the thought of letting those fish swallow the offering for 15 to 30 seconds. What a waste. A lot of fish must get killed that way. In 30 seconds you can be hooked up on a second fish!

[@stevethet1962]

Fishing bonanza!

[@GG-cl3yl]
