Flounder and Fluke Fishing Tips - Jigging with Gulp

[@EliasVFishing]

Slammer trip John, how big was that one your son landed at the 4:40 mark?

[@mathewdessureault3365]

I got both your books for bucktail fishing for Father's day and fluke and tog fishing are my passion love the videos

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Enjoy the books!

[@mbs1234567]

Keep,these fantastic videos coming. Thank you so very much.

[@johnmhat]

I wish we (aka me) could catch them like this down here in NC...i have never had a day like this. I also think it is an awesome dad move that you keep your son in the water and catching fish the whole time...that is a very cool dad.

[@timahn2404]

Another great video. Keep them coming!

[@FishTechX]

John, I love watching your videos, they're very entertaining.

[@itsjussjerry]

That looked like a great day of fishing. I'd love to see how you cook up those bad boys!

[@goldeneaglevideos1]

Great video. I have been catching fluke off the surf with gulp on a bucktail and on a normal bucktail without gulp. Got to get out on a boat also. Thanks for making amazing videos .

[@TridentDriver]

Just incredible flounder fishing! You make it look easy.

[@heyjerryfishing]

Very nice vid you can never have enough tips thanks for sharing

[@tommylud4324]

I was in smithtown bay all day today. Had clams and a sinker on one rod and jigging a buck tail with gulp and a teaser on a second rod. Caught wayyyy more fish on the buck tail and teaser than the clams. 50/50 split between fluke and robins. Love the videos!!!

[@j.r343]

Wow you guys were slaying those fluke. I go fishing out of the long island sound often and sometimes on party boats, a lot of the party boats seem to be starting to switch gears and go out for porgies and sea bass now, but the fluke are definitely still there.

[@DirtReaper01]

Great video John, thanks for the lesson.

[@Gotticrack17]

Love the vids keep them coming and nice fluke action

[@Msquad321]

Always amazing. Thanks, John.

[@TriniTrav]

Nice, I caught a keeper at the NS today using your setup.

[@Engineer_Heathen]

Gotta get one of those rubber nets John. They work like a charm. Hooks never get tangled in them. By the way, I've been trying to "master" your method to jigging for years with little success. However, this year I've been doing phenomenal with this technique and i think I'm really starting to pick it up. So to anybody who's new to this and struggling, just be patient. Because there is a big learning curve.

[@thomasgalgano1081]

what are your tricks to holding bottom with these light bucktails I always seem to scope out

[@ejrocks10]

Are you using Mono line? try switching to braid.

[@EdisonBryan]

What does it mean to scope out?

[@rcfrenzy]

Looks like me and my old man. My father does all the work of baiting unhooking etc because I get sea sick so easily.

[@mikefrezza3667]

Hey john I've read your book and am making the trip up to Long Island to fish moriches inlet and then montauk point and was wondering if you have any tips for me on fishing these areas and what lures would be more proficient this time of the year

[@ryanstetser1830]

Hi john. My name is Ryan Stetser. Im a huge fan of your videos. I've become an even better flounder fisherman from watching your stuff. I live in Delaware and the fishing here is no where near as good as it is there. But I thought I could help you out a little bit. I am an employee in the fishing department at cabelas And I know a lot about fishing line. Spider wire stealth braid is the worst braid on the market. I only use power pro or suffix 832

[@jakeschneider312]

John what do you do with all that fish i had to throw put a couple filets and need some suggestions

[@jboat571x9]

Is the blue floor some sort of mat in the bottom of you boat? It almost looks soft.

[@TangyTurtle21]

when you jig rapidly is there a point when you have slack between your rod and the bucktail? I feel sometimes it seems to fast when this happens but I would like to know what happens with you.

[@elveciojunior]

The best vídeo! Congrats! Thanks!

[@heyjerryfishing]

Great Vid, but one thing though, you use your gulps with bucktails exclusively? I I just find a double drop shot is far more effective, I started useing the for frshwater app's originally myself. I found if your looking for bigger fluke use the Gulp 5" Jerk Shads or even 6" on the double drop shot with the bigger one on the bottom you will find youll catch more like that then using the bucktail/gulp combo. great vid as always just wondering why i never seen you use the double drop?

[@Mwest69]

Hey john. I fish toward the fishers island and bluff point Groton ct side. There's a lot of shorts and it's hard to catch them. Do you know any tips I could do?

[@SmoothLures]

Have you tried a rubber mesh net? Helps with tangles a lot. Hook proof as well.

[@Docker878]

Interesting technique your son has. I gotta try using my foot for leverage sometime. I think he's on to something there.

[@Redtale1106]

Are you fishing in the Atlantic Ocean near the shore or are you in the river? I would like to do this same technique in Jacksonville Florida. Also is there a video or web site showing how to tie the rig your using? Thank you

[@northeasthookerz6137]

Dominic tamburrino..... My favorite line is tuff line for sure. Never breaks and never had any problems with it

[@Edtuber11]

Hey John, your a long island legend. On your drifts, how are you riding the ledge? Are you riding it like an edge of a cliff going across or going up and over ?

[@Fishingchanneltv]

very cool and informative video, like nr. 100 :P

[@termite122]

hi john,,,i was curious about the tsunami teasers you are using,,they look like a jig themselves,,is the head lead? or another hard material? obviously they must weigh more than a plain gammy hook....thnku

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

They weigh 3/8 ounce.

[@termite122]

thanku

[@russelocampo9828]

What kind of bait you are using? Im newly in fishing. We love fluke fish

[@splendidbeastie691]

Do you eat most of the fish you catch and if you do how many do you bring home in one of these trips

[@nickrobintamburrino6812]

whats a good flounder/striper rod. we have cheap ones that the line always snap so i need some help with it. i already used ur tactic with gulp and we had a 25 incher at the surface. but of course our cheap line broke right as we almost had it.

[@nickrobintamburrino6812]

please man i need help

[@hotpancakes25]

Get a penn spinning combo 7ft and put like 15 lb line on it

[@stevegoldy2]

Hey John. I'm wondering how you work the jig. I've been finding myself trying many different patterns from as fast as I possibly could while still hitting the bottom. I've tried sort of pumping it slower. I've tried doing little 2 pumps, waiting, then do another 2 pumps. I can't decide on what works best... How do you feel about this?

[@phillip4002]

I live on the south shore of long island near peconic bay. I havent had much luck in the bay. Do you think I should try off in the ocean? All of your videos seem to be in relatively calm water

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Phillip Araujo The shinnecock area is good this time of year. Bay and ocean.

[@phillip4002]

John Skinner Fishing I gave the ocean a try and I was finally able to catch some fluke! I purchased the kindle edition of your book, it amazing! Thanks!

[@MrOkShin]

Great video Mr. Skinner! I remember watching a video with you mentioning that you're around Riverhead... is this the Long Island Sound near that area? and the water seems to be really calm!

[@chrisvaliaveedan4779]

hi john i was wondering if you have a preffered rod for beginer kayak fluking

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Chris Valiaveedan Any decent baitcaster, 6-7 feet medium action that's good with 15# braid. This video shows my gear choices. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4SaqIFvh9aEjJo

[@SOFishing]

Looks like you guys had an awesome day!! How far off the bottom are you keeping your bottom jig?

[@gains7207]

with flounder you jig it up and just hit the bottom and bounce up and down

[@frankhancharuk8526]

Hey John do you attach your bucktail rigs to your braid line with a knot or a swivel?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Frank Hancharuk swivel

[@erikbranson]

Hey John, What do you do with your old Gulp juice once you are done with a pail? I was wondering what you think about purchasing a cheaper 4 or 5" swim tail grub plastic and soaking it in the Gulp juice.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Erik Branson Soft plastics won't absorb the juice like the real Gulp Baits. I seem to spill most of the juice eventually and usually don't have much to throw out.

[@erikbranson]

John Skinner Fishing Thanks for the response!

[@1973Saved]

How do you know how deep to fish on the ledge?

[@TurboGSR96]

How much time did it take for you to get that 10 fish limit? Great job as always.

[@jackhawley9930]

What is the max weight you would put on ur tsunami classic? 3oz? I picked 2 up from J&H. Thanks

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Jack Hawley99 That would be max for sure, but anything over 2-ounce is a bit much for those rods.

[@npapoutsis1]

Excellent video! What was the water depth?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

npapoutsis1 20-25ft

[@spanishpotatogrill2104]

Have you ever tried to eat a sea robin? We have found that the flesh is almost consistent with chicken. You get a huge bit a flesh off them. They aren't as flaky as fluke but they make great table fare. I would suggest that you try one the next time you pull one up. We love to bake them with lemon, tomatoes, onions, and peppers with some potatoes thrown into the bunch. They make an excellent dinner when you don't catch any fluke

[@zUND3ADz]

Hello John, I am very interested in your books, is it possible to get your books in Canada?

[@matthewherzog6155]

Brandon Cail Is Canada in the Internet?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Brandon Cail Sorry, no. I've had issues with stuff getting lost out of the country and then having no way to track it. Fishing the Bucktail and Season on the Edge are both available as ebooks.

[@zUND3ADz]

John Skinner Fishing Ok, Thank you.

[@DWFishing_89]

Do u use a stinger hook on your bucktails

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Definitely not. Watching hours of underwater video of how they strike long baits was proof enough for me to not even consider it.

[@csralumni]

John, what did you think about the 5" gulp vs the 4"?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

csralumni They're nowhere near as cost-effective. I've been using them this year, but just not seeing that they're making any difference taking larger fish. I know at least one guy who swears by them. Today I was in the kayak using the 5-inch on the high hook and a 3-inch shrimp on a 3/4-ounce bucktail. The two largest fish (best was 5#) took the jig.

[@robertmamys5892]

did your son cowrite the book? damn good for him slaying it!

[@fraxiile2991]

Hey John sea robin may not be the preferred fish to catch but trust me they sure taste better than flounder now don't call me crazy until you try one if you cook it right obviously get rid of bones and skin etc trust me they are delicious i would prefer them over flounder trust me. and also great video was wondering if you could tell me the best way to catch and find bluefish as well thank you and keep up the good work

[@Edtuber11]

You have no taste buds. might as well fry up some bunker. Lol

[@dct581]

Edtuber11; you have to trust him. He said so many times.

[@EdisonBryan]

Sea robin actually are good

[@carterj7930]

Why doesn't your son unhook the fish himself?

[@Simon_S22]

Does Berkley Gulp sponsor you?

[@erikolson8667]

Hey John, what was the date of this trip?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Erik Olson 7/12/15

[@ericbiegler831]

what no sea robins ? how do you do that ... show that video

[@toutaw559]

A video of you filleting and cooking a flounder wouldn't be a bad idea

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

toutaw559 kzbin.info/www/bejne/oabLY4t5pcqHeck

[@josephpizzo9909]

I wish they were biting like that in wildwood NJ

[@matthewherzog6155]

Joe Pizzo Just stay away from Wildwood on Gang Week.

[@RH421939]

Joe Pizzo i wish anything is biting in northern ocean county, the action has died here for the last 2 weeks

[@danfishing7223]

Why not use a rubber net to avoid the tangles

[@s0meguy809]

You must have an industrial size freezer.

[@willcox1209]

Does John's son know that his dad is a legend?

[@matthewherzog6155]

Damn Chinese-made coolers.

[@ytpython73]

John - great videos. But seriously... buy yourself a rubber net. You'll be much happier and never go back.

[@mathewdessureault3365]

Please take me fishing

[@firstpik3230]

First comment :)

[@gains7207]

damn I need it kid to catch me my limit

[@robertbruce391]

take me fluke fishing

[@stevewolfakaheliarc2696]

This guy doesn't respond to his followers. That's a deal breaker for me.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

That's an old video. Maybe I didn't back then. I do now.

[@WTFisthis327]

Get over yourself!

[@northeasthookerz6137]

Dominic tamburrino..... My favorite line is tuff line for sure. Never breaks and never had any problems with it
