Jig Fishing for Catch and Cook - EASY Recipe and Cleanup!

[@charmainevandiford6622]

Good to have friends like Doc. He seems like a great Friend and a pretty good fisherman.

[@jboss7587]

a idea related to "flipping" the fillets. see if you can get another cooking tray, lay it on top on the one with fish and flip all at once...

[@Thelocksa102]

I never get tired of this channel thank you for all the tips and tricks!!!!

[@gowokegobrokee]

I find that 30-40 feet of water is the sweet spot for big Black Sea bass. I’ve caught plenty of 20+ inchers with a 3-4 ounce bucktail and a piece of cut up squid on it. In the early spring and late fall when they are hungry enough I’ve even had them hit top water lures. Super fun fish to catch and absolutely delicious to eat. Tight lines boys

[@FMorgigno1]

Great Video John. Great idea on the air fryer as well. I didnt think the sharpie was going to work BTW. Thanks for the spray paint info. Is there a better buddy on the planet than Doc? He is one of the true unsung heroes of the fishing world! Long live the four John's. What a great group of guys. Keep up the great service to our wonderful past time.

[@georgegarrison7114]

Tip: Hello John, the rack should go on that pan, and you put both the rack and pan in the oven. The pan will catch all the drippings and breadcrumbs from the product you are cooking.

[@matthewbeckwith663]

Enjoyed the cooking portion- good Lord, that looks delicious

[@archieoutdoors1776]

I got a good laugh out of the 'DarkMatter Air Fryer' joke

I love Sea Bass. We used to catch tem on the Capt Al from Point Lookout.

[@rlon36]

Love your videos, and especially love the fact that potato chips are your side when you seem to be contemplating being healthier. Sounds like me…

[@jeffm4111]

Nice job on those seabass John! Its amazing how many weakfish are off long island but not along R I south shore. Youre not that far away!

[@skelly5893]

Super relaxing to watch, Love your vids!

[@timconnors3211]

Always learn from you John, thanks again for posting this... doubling up with the gulp teaser was a great way to finish the day OTW and i especially liked the olive oil trick, your lunch really looked better than mine today...

[@HobbiesHobo]

John, I really enjoy your videos, I would like to see more of the "Cooking" like this one had. Mike

[@ayadusky]

I have to disagree. I enjoy this channel for being focused and not engaging in “typical KZbinr fashion,” or following trends. I hope you stick with educational “catch R&D” summarization of experiment and experience. I love your FLUKE vids!!! You rule the flounder catching world!’ Then again, this is also an extremely helpful catch and cook for practicality! Search ‘convection flow’ to understand at least part of the reason why the top is heated faster.

[@Delmarvafishing]

Heard the weather was terrible out at Montauk today with big rollers. Hopefully you catch some eater size fish, I love videos like this

[@gbouley1]

Great video both fishing and cooking. Thanks🙌

[@ingyham]

Nice to see you doing a catch and cook. I love using my air fryer as well

[@Fishingandkicking]

First fluke keeper of the season today! Thanks for all the insight John.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

I hope you get many more this season!

[@LongIslandLethals]

The gulp teaser and bucktails did it for me yesterday. Same area. Salmon was getting slammed!

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Fluke or seabass?

[@LongIslandLethals]

@@JohnSkinnerFishing seabass. I had a few fluke hits but the drift was weird. Perfect 1 mph mid incoming tide but the boat wanted to drift backwards because of the slight wind. Sandwaves and bouy field. Always life around those traps.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

I'm surprised there aren't more fluke in those sand waves.

[@LongIslandLethals]

@@JohnSkinnerFishing there definitely should be. There were plenty a few weeks ago in the 50 to 40 foot range inland but my guess is they are around the deeper sand waves because of all this heat, but it's just a lot of ground to cover to find them. I saw something huge on the way in just outside the drop off that looked like a 50lb striper just below the surface that day.

[@7citiesfishing]

The blues in seabass are beautiful

[@BobAquatic]

The dark matter air fryer haha. Dang doc hooked it up

[@brucecrawford8495]

Love the air fryer. Use mine often for fish. try avocado oil in lieu of olive oil. Higher smoke point and a bit healthier

[@j121212100]

duck done in a convection oven is great. Cut a few potatoes in half face down so they absorb the fat and get em crispy. yum

[@termite122]

my nexus toaster oven does great job too

[@snowayadventures]

oh man, I need that air fryer lol great video sir!!

[@edhebert]

Hi John, what makes you choose diamond jigs over a 4oz bucktail here? I have seen you working so much with bucktails and am curious of your thoughts. Thx

[@mikejordan6036]

Great Video again John

[@robertstorms5539]

The Dark matter skinner pole works really well even with 5-6oz jig heads. My friend and I bought one and they are great fishing poles. I'm also waiting to try out my new Black spray painted Diamond jigs :)

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Thanks for your support! Yes, we've been fishing 5 and 6 ounces a lot lately and the rod does a great job with them, but no problem going down to 1.5 ounces either.

[@passissmokes1034]

Hey John, do you have a video on how to use/view a fish finder? I’m brand new to fish finders, I still have a hard time figuring out what does fish look like on a fish finder. As well as telling if I’m Over rock structure or sand. Appreciate it. I have Garmin Portable if that helps

[@KCsniper79]

Awesome vid John, an I also have a similar air fryer and it makes all foods like fried chicken, pizza, pretty much anything you’d want to fry, enjoy your dinner..🤙🏼🤙🏼..

[@robtopham6095]

I might have to get myself one of those Dark matter Air Fryers! The fish looked really good.

[@bobmcdowell2523]

Rather than spray paint (which doesn’t last long) try shrink tubing around the jig,

No.

[@thenatureoffishing7591]

Enjoy your videos. But, some more info about the spots up front would help, in this case simply the depths being fished. Perhaps I missed it. “4oz jig and 15lb braid” along with depth it’s being fished would tell us more about speed control. Thanks!

[@davidkuperschmid5274]

FYI.. In typical conditions, red turns muddy gray at about 17 feet. Orange follows at 24 feet. Yellow is next at 50 feet. Then Green at 85 feet. Indigo follows at 116 feet. Violet remains visible at great depths. Maybe try violet next?

[@flatbedtruckingthenortheas1578]

got a kick out of the dark matter air fryer !! love my new skinner jig and bounce rod !! john im building a rod and was wondering what the reel seat and grips are i cant seem to find the same setup anywhere and i really like them and would like to use the same or similar on my first build . thanks so much for all your videos

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Glad you're liking the rod! I don't know what those grips are. Josh at J&H found them after I took the third prototype behind his shop and sprayed it with a hose and told him the grip was too slippery when wet. Then he came up with whatever is on there now.

[@afuhs]

I recently picked up one of these rods and am looking forward to getting out with it. I was curious to know what the thought process was with the eyes wrapping around the round. Thanks

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

It reduces torque from the rod wanting to turn on its side if all of the guides are on top. Many good conventional rods are built that way these days. You'll understand why when you use it. Thanks for your support!

[@afuhs]

@@JohnSkinnerFishing Great, thanks for the reply. I am looking forward to using it. Rod seems very, very well built.

[@Easternlongislandcast]

I would use ultraviolet-drying resin to coat the jigs after painting. Paint job will stay

[@chriskopp1841]

I thought you needed to drift when jigging for sea bass. You taught me something new (again). Here's a question about strategy: What is your next move if you are catching good numbers of sea bass on clams, and only a couple on jigs. Only 2 keepers out of 2 dozen. Do you move deeper? 55' depth, 67 degree water and current required 6 oz sinkers. Unfortunately I only had chrome jigs, but I tipped it with Gulp.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

I don't fish any bait for seabass because it attracts too many little fish of multiple species. As waters warm, I definitely move deeper for Long Island Sound seabass. Also, heavily fished areas see the keepers culled out within a couple weeks of the season opening.

[@chriskopp1841]

Hi John, Can you tell me a little about your minn Kota spot lock/ trolling motor set up and if there are any other videos about it and the installation price and any other info you can, I would like to ad one to my Proline 190 Center console Thanks in advance Tom

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Your boat might get by with the same 80-pound thrust motor I have, but with a 72'' shaft. They're a game changer. There's a link in the video description. Installation difficulty will depend on the layout of your bow. You'll also need 2 dedicated batteries for this 24-volt motor, or one pricey lithium.

Hey mista skinner, how was the shore based striper fishing on the north fork this spring? I saw the couple of videos you put out this year but not too much, do you ussually tend to do better in the fall than the spring?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Better in fall.

[@duffmeister6480]

Hello John, two questions please, I’m new to fishing the Sound, ( same areas as you ) is there anything I can do to avoid catching some many Sea Robins ? And can you do a video of how you set up your fish finder, I have a Simrad Evo 2, ( it’s not user friendly ) and I never see any fish ( arches ) on it ? Thanks very much.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

There's nothing I know of to avoid catching searobins, other than to move where there are less. I just use the defaults on my Humminbird. You don't need to see arcs - just stuff between the surface and the bottom.

Those sea bass are the best eating fish in the sea

[@moddkilla]

What is that buttermilk?

[@bnewman21]

The reason you need to flip them is because as they cook the moisture runs out of them and run down towards the bottom of the filets...so the top dries out faster

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Makes sense. Nice description.
