Blackfish Light Tackle Jigging - Separating the Men from the Boys

[@dayamanimahesh6633]

Perfect !!! Nice video John once again.

[@keithpiskorski2833]

Action action action great job Johnny😎🥃

[@jiegong9681]

Always appreciate when a Captain like John suggesting the release of a sizable fish so it can grow even bigger for its next battle. Amazing feeling when the drag screams on a light tackle and in your head it goes “did I forget to tighten the drag? I thought I did!”

Great season bud! Glad to call you friend! Looking forward to next year.

[@jiggingjerks]

Same here JT!

[@LongIslandLethals]

Great video John. The tide change is something I often target as well.

[@RayA-rt6tp]

Great video John. What's the name of your boat?

[@jiggingjerks]

Thanks Ray. Just Fishing

[@edgewater210]

What a trip! The Customers must have been extremely happy!

[@mbari6963]

Hey John!! How many diners were closed with all those Greeks on your boat? What a great trip!! Congrats guys!! Συγχαρητήρια!

[@jiggingjerks]

[@captpepin]

You need either: a smaller boat or a net for the bow and the stern.

That ice brought back memories when I was in New Jersey mid December I had to shovel 2 foot is snow off the deck to go black fishing

[@tmik7864]

I bet the guys didn't even feel the cold when the fishing was so hot . Great video john as usual and congrats on the release .

[@rayjansen6712]

Definitely winter fishing trip. 😎🇺🇸🤗

[@civic30045]

You as a captain how many rods do you prefer your customers bring for a trip or do prefer they use the gear you provide?

[@jiggingjerks]

Two or three is fine. Some bring way more which eats up rod holder space. I always offer my rods but most prefer to use theirs

[@davidsmoren]

Great Video . We are done as of last week . David and my son Jacob blue parker 2320 out of greenport. We see see you guys often at dock. After two bent anchors this season considering the spot lock any leads on a local installer

[@jiggingjerks]

Hey David - Jack Kohut did my install (located in Greenport). 917-853-6177

[@Mike-hs8fq]

Very good video. Who manufactures the net under your hardtop to hold vests?

[@jiggingjerks]

Thanks Mike. I honestly don’t remember. I bought it off the Classified section of the Hull truth website but only keep a couple of children’s vests there…..

[@Mike-hs8fq]

Thank you

[@davesauerzopf6980]

WOW! Never saw you move so fast for the net when you saw the first keeper. Cat like reflexes went into action. lmao!

[@TheNorthForkCatch]

That's the day I saw you guys by the dock. You were not kidding when you said you put a hurtin on them in two and half hours. Great job!

[@glennverspoor6611]

👍nice job John

[@gregbell5975]

Show us what your catching them with.

[@jiggingjerks]

S&S Skinner bucktails

[@mrhanky5555]

What is the your preferred tog setup? Just curious to know how it differs from your fluke rigs. Thank you for the content.

[@jiggingjerks]

Easy…..1/2 ounce to 1 ounce jig using a small 2k class reel on a 6 foot M action rod. 10 pound braid for the reel with a small top shot of 30 pound floro….

[@phillymanpete]

@@jiggingjerks Do you connect the fluoro to the braid via a knot or a power swivel?

[@jiggingjerks]

Both actually, depending on mood lol. Preferred set up is a 50 pound spro or tsunami barrel swivel which is smaller than most knots……

[@deets29mtb53]

awesome video! I admire the success of jigging! I have to get the patience for it. it looks so fun! question is 16" because you're comercial lic?

[@jiggingjerks]

That’s the min size in NYS for recreational angling

[@deets29mtb53]

@@jiggingjerks lmfaooo! this whole season for some reason im thinking it was 17! lol imma a dummy!

[@deets29mtb53]

@@jiggingjerks and kudos on the videos!

[@anthonyfestus6845]

How many people are allowed on your charters (fluke/blackfish) and what are the prices with and without Mr. Skinner…I enjoy your videos so much that it’s about time that I fish with you

[@jiggingjerks]

Thanks Anthony - all details are here: www.justfishinglongisland.com but since I only do this part time, I’m already sold out in 2022

[@chrisv3968]

I want to come one season! Or can we take skinner and you on my boat?

[@jiggingjerks]

Unfortunately, I’m completely booked through next year (literally,every day off from my 9 to 5 job is a charter)…..

[@rayjansen6712]

Hard to release it. Real hard...😆

[@TheRustedHook]

"Just under 10"...Geeesh !..Drive it home...
