Fishing: If it get's away - "That! was a monster". When caught - "Not as big as I thought it was".

[@Josh_Vaughn]

This is too true 😂😂😂😂

[@kenwesterfeldfishing2244]

WOW you guys had far better quality fishing than we did during that tournament . It was nothing but a slow, tough, grind for us all day. It was in fact miraculous that Pete caught the winning fish all things considered. Also good to see that the salmon red is producing and it wasn't just a lark. Great job as always guys! Now I can't wait to get out to Montauk! On another note when I saw your splash well fill up with that boat wakes it made my stomach drop as I though about my not fully enclosed transom. I wish boaters would be more considerate of the other people that they're sharing the water with. People need to realize that when boating they're always responsible for their wake.

[@MatindianGirl06]

This was an amazing flounder fishing video, I wish I was there. Congrats on you catch.

[@ericnoble1702]

I miss fluke fishing and the jersey shore so much. Nicely done! Thanks for sharing.

[@richienegron7886]

I was up on the bow that day on the MTS and seen you guys out there by us doing your thing. I love the videos, they helped me cope through winter, lol.

[@johnsweeney1400]

That was great to watch. Had some laughs all over again! Thanks John and everyone for a great day!!

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Thanks for the excitement at the end. Start the boat!

[@charlesharakal4892]

I was at my local Dick's Sporting goods today and they had the Salmon red and Pink shine 6 inch grubs in the small containers with the liquid. First time I've seen those colors packaged that way!

[@brendanwoerner3352]

Charles Harakal they are brand new from pure fishing dicks just got them.

[@jeffbrinkman684]

Skinner, you casually catch fish that exceed my personal best...you are legend!

I'm on good water this trip. Some recent trips 40 miles from here have been much less productive.

Hi John! What time do you wake up in the morning when you fish the surf?

John is there such a thing as a porgy lure for fluke? Might be worth trying...

[@CJfishing2024]

Hi John, bought one of those Daiwa reels form J&H, thought it was a better choice than the shimano calcutta, I will let you know. I saw what could go wrong as soon as you looked out and saw those waves coming your way, amazing how that water just climbs up the transom into the boat. sorry you guys didn't win, the effort was there for sure. as always I enjoy watching your videos, much information to be had, thanks for posting.

[@jerseyfreshfishing6613]

Why did the deck stay so wet?

[@theotherfinnegan9955]

why was water staying in the boat?

[@anthonygregorio2208]

Hi John. What would you say is a good minimum depth to start vertical jigging vs casting out from a boat or kayak? I was thinking that the last outing I was on that maybe the water was too shallow and the fluke were possibly spooked by the boat over them.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Around 4 feet

[@anthonygregorio2208]

John Skinner Fishing Thank you John.

[@marinegrunt7461]

What kind of boat is that?

[@mustangkid50]

John do you still plan on using the maxel reel on the tsunami jigging rod this season ? Why dont you ise the maxel for fluke..

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Yes, for bass. The maxel is overkill for fluke.

[@vikingdane9757]

I'm new to fluking (in Buzzards Bay MA.) and wondering if the drift speed is measured by gps - speed over ground, or by speed through the water column? Thanks for great videos - I have watched a lot of them and subscribed.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

over ground

I see the sea robbins at 8:55. What are they for? bait strips?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Yes.

[@primegancho1]

😮 nice 👍🏽

[@outdoors-fun]

John, I know you have used the Nuxus and Tsunami spiral (acid) wrapped rods. Which do you prefer? Is the Nexus worth the extra 40$?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

I do not like the Tsunami slow pitch for fluke, but love it for bass and blacks. The Tsunami Classic H with 4 inches off the tip is good through 4 ounces for fluke and is only $60. The Nexus H, trimmed 4 inches, is what I prefer for fluke because it handles the whole 1.5-6-ounce weight range.

[@outdoors-fun]

@@JohnSkinnerFishing Interesting that you had to cut 4in off the Nexus for it to handle it's weight range. How well do the tsunami slow pitch handle their weight range? You should do a video comparing the two.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

The tapers are very different.

[@outdoors-fun]

@@JohnSkinnerFishing Good to know. Thanks for the info.

[@justindamirgian1088]

What lbs test is he using? I use 15-20 and I would not try to swing over 5lbs

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

We use 10-15#

[@antoniovillani5430]

Would you recommend using the larger size gulp I believe 6” for shallow water fluking? I’m targeting big fish !

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Definitely. If you have a reasonable shot at 5+ pounders, then I think you'll benefit from the larger profile.

[@antoniovillani5430]

Thanks👍🏻

[@georgiob3430]

Are you able to get a lot of reuse with the gulp?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

It depends on the interference fish like porgies, seabass, etc. You can usually catch a few fluke on the same bait.

[@russb296]

1,182/lb.....that's some expensive Filet of Sole for sure!!...Hahaha Definitely pays for plenty of JS bucktails and 6" Gulp grubs!!! Along with plenty of fuel for the outboard/s...The winners are going to have a fairly stress free season.....:-)

Not all the net mans fault,should have lifted that rod and pulled it closer to boat

[@arnoldstollar5375]

Few men know that fish.

[@derekdigiovanni6921]

Are you the only one who knows how to actually lead fish into the net? 😂

[@johnsweeney1400]

Wo, wo, wo. He's not the only one but we do laugh about who can and who can't.

[@derekdigiovanni6921]

John Sweeney that first one got me so bad hahah! People like to blame the net guy but the angler can’t just let it hang there!

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

If you don't lead the fish when Sweeney's netting, he'll grab your rod tip and do it for you! Seriously though, you point out something that's sometimes overlooked and important.

[@johnsweeney1400]
