[@JohnGFish]

Another great video John

[@juanrodriguez-mu7ko]

Awesome job Johnnie boy can’t wait to see you 🎣

[@InTheFlow66]

Great video! Surprised at the complete lack of boat traffic at the first spot!

[@jiggingjerks]

Me too! No wind, right tide, lots of fish around....would have thought there’d been way more boats....

[@jamesps7515]

Great video as always John! Beautiful fluke!

[@jamesryan2069]

We missed the frantic net job on the fluke. Always enjoy the vids. Looking forward to seeing more.

[@surimaribo24]

its a awesome bay good catch

[@mikecappelletti8204]

Great job…. Love the flounder…. Wish could have seen set for sure! Keep it up

[@jiggingjerks]

I was kicking myself afterward!

[@RayA-rt6tp]

Nice slam John..and all in under two hours!

[@LongIslandLethals]

Nice man, good to see the fish are still biting well in the bays.

[@tmik7864]

It feels good to just go out and fish without any pressure ! 👍Great video

[@jiggingjerks]

As long as you remember to keep the camera on lol

[@BStavFishingAndHunting]

What a peaceful and successful solo trip! Awesome job, Capt Halk!! I hope that Skinner guy was taking notes!! Hahahaha. Skinner, if you read this, I humbly request a lock of your hair from your next barber visit! Hahahahaha Tight lines!

[@jiggingjerks]

Hahaha...why made the trip more peaceful, spiritual actually in a way, is another moment sadly not caught on film. I had just arrived at the weakfish spot and in the distance I see a majestic creature walking towards me on the water. I look closer, and I see a beard, glasses, white new balance sneakers and I realize it’s Skinner! I call out his name and suddenly, a puff of smoke appears where the deity once stood and he was gone. Of course, that may also have been a channel marker I saw, but I like the first story better...

@@jiggingjerks I just reread Matthew 14:13-21. I didn't realize he also fed 5000 people with a few loaves of bread and a pack of gulp. Lol - love ur videos.

Thanks for the video

[@jiegong9681]

What an amazing solo trip! Slammed them all!

[@jiggingjerks]

Thanks Jie

[@jiggingjerks]

@Robert Phillips Jie got a sneak peak when I first finished and then commented lol

[@craig1lengyel]

Way to go! Great video by yourself too! Hard core too getting up that early to fish!! What is that on your dash? Looks like a soup can!

[@jiggingjerks]

Thank you Craig! The stars actually aligns that morning in that I had perfect tide and wind conditions. That thing is something called a Toadfish drink holder. It secures to hard surfaces and acts as an extra cup holder. I have three cupholders directly behind my seat but for whatever reason every time I leave coffee in them, they wind up spilling and causing a mess. This thing really rocks!

[@CrabberPA]

Nice slam!

[@Matt_732]

Good work, need that trash fish trio next time lol

[@jiggingjerks]

Sea robin and what are the other two?

[@robertstorms5539]

Can I ask why you tied your 3 way swivel the way you did? It looked like the weight was on the middle and the bucktail on the bottom. I would have thought the weight would go on the bottom, bucktail on the middle. Or is this a different version of a fishfinder type rig?

[@jiggingjerks]

This is the way I was taught to tie it 20 years ago. Small surgeons loop for the weight with about a 6 foot leader just above for the bucktail. The spots we use this rig in are usually honking from a drift speed perspective, sometimes 6 mph....

[@Thecoralreefaquarium]

How do you like the friabil landing net?

[@jiggingjerks]

Love it. Upgraded out bigger net to this same series. Much less tangling happen when you land a fish,

[@davesauerzopf6980]

How do you do it? Work, Charter, go fishing solo? Do you ever sleep? And I love your videos! So, what ever it is, keep on keeping on!

[@jiggingjerks]

Haha - I don’t consider the chartering work because it’s something I love. The full-time job is another story

[@davesauerzopf6980]

@@jiggingjerks Love your videos, keep it up! I check everyday for new ones. Down to earth and you tell it like it is. Some catch and cook would be nice? Always looking for some good recipes to try out.

[@jiggingjerks]

@@davesauerzopf6980 much appreciated. Doc swears we will do one this year with one of his fancy fluke recipes

[@mikecappelletti8204]

Have you guys been out I keep looking for a new one …. Lol…

[@jiggingjerks]

Out fishing? Skinner has. I have a full-time job during the week and of course, the last few weekends have been very windy with seemingly no end in sight LOL

[@mikecappelletti8204]

@@jiggingjerks Gotcha… I’ll be looking out…. Wind bad in south jersey as well.. Sunday supposed to clear…

[@rayjansen6712]

You still need a mate...lol.. Good day for you.!!🎣🎣🎣

[@stephenpiccinich7007]

Speaking of rips - you shouldve seen the one at the race this past tuesday morning with an incoming tide and 15+ mph winds from the west... yeah, scary haha

[@jiggingjerks]

Been there done that lol

[@Delmarvafishing]

Nice John, why didn't you do a charter that weekend? Kinda good to be booked through November, you gonna do togs after that or put it away for a few months?

[@jiggingjerks]

The Tournament I fished the day before uses Sunday as the rain date so I intentionally kept both dates free. Same for next year. Tog is early October through the end of November for me. Water starts getting too cold after that by us.

[@Guywithoutahobby]

Sweet!

[@juanrodriguez-mu7ko]

Don’t worry I believe you Johnnie boy 🎣

[@fierceflyer5]

You should have given me a call I would have gone fishing with you so you didn’t have to fish alone 😂

[@jiggingjerks]

Literally a last minute decision. I woke up at 3:45 in the morning and said what the heck

[@trancemusic8805]

I know it's early in the season but another charter breakdown of costs and profit would be cool to see again

[@jiggingjerks]

Maybe I’ll do another one halfway through the year

[@gregoryguitars6291]

Sweet. Are you booked for charter trips? Is that why it's your last free day fishing?

[@jiggingjerks]

Yes. Booked solid now til end of November

Woulda made great fish n chips john..

[@tonynicoletti8161]

Bass was hooked deep and was bleeding a decent amount why not just keep it.

[@jiggingjerks]

He swam off like a champ. He was hooked in back of throat but I removed hook very carefully. I prefer to release all bass.
