New Gulp Color Impresses on Awesome Fluke (Flounder) Trip!

[@jameso1800]

Skinner’s awesome. We all knew he slays the fluke but the guy is a total gentleman. You can tell he was all about making it a great outing for those guys. Those guys will never forget that outing.

[@BStavFishing]

His first double digit flounder with you by his side an on the net!! I hope he appreciates that moment as much as I did by only watching it!! You're a humble man, John. The world needs more guys like you.

[@ajandnik1]

And the best part they have it on film, I wish I could do this trip.

[@polarizedoutdoors]

I wasn't sure how you'd do on these charters, John, but you were impressively helpful and personable. "55 YEARS!" - you made that guy's life!

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

That was extremely exciting and satisfying!

[@polarizedoutdoors]

@@JohnSkinnerFishing You really did seem to be having a blast. I see a John Skinner Charter business in your future!

[@26halkman]

Polarized Outdoors hey hey hey...don’t give him any ideas :)

[@chetfowlkes9894]

I can only dream of fishing with you two. I really admired how you both were working to give your clients the best trip they could have. Skinner you are an amazing fisherman and teachers. Halkius kept the boat on point. Great job guys. I’m green jelly.

[@adamcosta4610]

20:41. I heard you say Shit under your breath lol you knew it was a monster. That's your humility showing. Love the channel and your books, John. They've made me a much better Angler.

[@termite122]

best fluke video i ever watched! skinner rand halk,,you guys are awesome..these guys will never for the rest of there lives forget this trip...i could go on and on but i wont...a win win for everyone and a great way for halk to promote his charter business..hopefully nxt year myself and a friend will be aboard for a fluke trip but after this video mite be a year waiting list...these guys fished like a couple of veterans too...great stuff!

[@WildAboutBeingOutdoors]

Great job to everyone. That laugh says it all. Both of the men expression tells it all. I've been waiting for this for 55 years!!!🍻 He couldn't have said it any better.

[@tomwilson4027]

I like the format of taking clients out. Fun watching them score nice fish.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Absolutely. I was excited everytime I saw one of their rods arched over with a fluke shake.

[@ctcraftii]

John Skinner, hardest working first mate in the business! Great video!

[@jimaquilano9137]

What a great video. I don’t know if I was more happy for those guys or jealous. Also, Skinner made it all about them. Both of you are really good guys.

[@alijahquentin562]

sorry to be off topic but does anyone know of a method to log back into an instagram account?? I stupidly forgot my password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me

[@korbynpaxton410]

@Alijah Quentin instablaster ;)

[@dalehawk6865]

One of my favorite John Skinner videos.

[@ChrisJones-ke1qo]

John, Chris here. Huge fan!!! I turn Chuck Norris jokes into John Skinner flounder jokes and I'd love to one day fish with you. Definitely a bucket list item, I'll even bring all the aged gulp we need and not knock em over. Help me help you!!!

[@hectorcoria3650]

That laughter says it all! Good times to last for that Kodak moment!!!

[@micheltremblay4774]

Wow! What a great fishing day for these guys.Thanks John for documenting it. The new colour added to the Gulp line up got some big flukes in the boat. I bet it would do fine with Bass on a different retrieve.

[@TheRocksandReds]

Congrats on a great trip, and it was Awesome to see the double digit personal bests, those guys will remember that forever. You and John hooked em up.

[@jefferyduran]

The guys laugh says it all... I love it!!!

[@coolvid]

Great trip, everyone did a great job on their respective duties!

[@originalseahorse]

ok, meat on the table John. Thank you! Skinner fishing!

[@michaelross5674]

I miss these flounder .... We used to hit the sandbar in the sounds in crisfield Maryland

[@frankalbergo1]

Loved the Chinese Fire Drill you had when all three of your were hooked up!

[@jerrymundy4557]

Lived on Shelter Island for 65 yrs, lots of flounder near bug light.

[@texasfishingonline]

Awesome trip! I know you enjoyed that. Enjoy the memory too!

[@mikebermudez3746]

She’s an awesome cook and pretty cute to boot!!

[@user-sx5go4ry5t]

Awesome video, a trip for both those gentlemen to remember

[@t.walker3101]

Wow this makes me want to get out there so bad, great time for fishing and great job to you and the guys

[@davidkuperschmid5274]

With respect to your comments about the benefit of a stiff rod tip to effectively jig in deep water, I've been experimenting with rapidly tugging the line about about a foot above the reel to generate quick and consistent jig action. The results have been very good. Just have to be quick on the hook set. Maybe give it a try.

[@Charlestonkayakandfishing]

I love skinners directions to the boat captain!

[@stevek051]

Well done Mr. Skinner

[@juanrodriguez-mu7ko]

WOW SKINNER THIS IS AWESOME I’ve never caught anything close to a four or five pounder can’t wait to go with you and Johnny boy very soon trying to set up with the boss to give me off when is the season over?

[@adamholston3686]

I like seeing this kinda video if you get the chance I would recommend making more

[@indrafishing604]

Love that salmon color gulp ... 👍🏻👍🏻

[@fivetwentyseven8598]

Yeah but it’s the blue fusion that caught the big ones. 😎

[@stillinyaisstillinur3300]

Just what's expected when fishing with the Master

[@robertphillips8468]

guys looking chilly up there !

[@juanrodriguez-mu7ko]

Both John’s awesome fishing

[@MasterDonJ]

What a Legend! Thanks for the awesome video.

[@berelentless2572]

That blue fuse Gulp is rare near me. But when I used it, it was AWESOME!

[@jeffcarter5244]

Another great video. I have noticed you recharge your gulps often, including when repositioning yourself in your kayak. How big of a difference does that make? I love what you said about the Nexus rod but it only comes in a 7' version. What jigging/baitcasting rod do you recommend for Kayak fishing, under 6' in length? I am looking at the Ugly Stick Tiger Lite 5'8" XH jigging rod. Lightweight and good reviews.

[@yakinwithbigfoot3832]

Another great video John!

[@garrettlambert4128]

I think maybe theh should just have 2 big net

[@jacobcana633]

John rerigging for you.. You can't beat that!! lmao

[@LevelArtist]

Never understood reeling with your right/left hand and also keeping the butt of the rod under the same arm. But to each his own.

[@bassassassinnn7459]

I agree. You get a better grip and have more control that way. I reel with my right hand, but put the butt of the rod on my left side.

[@KIMBER4509]

LOL!!! I’ve seen a lot of VERY GOOD FISHERMEN fish that way also. I guess it’s whatever your comfortable with.

[@austindunham4588]

Great video

[@frankd6985]

You take care of him!

[@bradenpomponi8103]

I got a opposite of that double yesterday I got two shorts

[@christianhaugland2104]

Hey John what landing net you recommend for us smaller center console guys.

[@pekesrepose7363]

I'm not a fan of fluke do to their abundance. although catching the big ones are rewarding they just don't speak fishing to me. a striper is the easy perfect fish as far as retrieving them or beaching them. a bluefish is a real fish as far as challenges and fight. I'd have to say as an amaturd ocean fisherman who hails from the country freshwater ponds and rivers I tend to compare my likes to bass, salmon, muskellunge, pike and lake trout. all larger then what the masses of people tend to pull out of the ocean here on the east shores of the states. id love skinner to take to the Great Lakes and show us what he can do up there. I'd just love that. "great gob on this trip and the best guide for it!" 👍🏼

[@georgiob3430]

John I used link for rod in video it is listed as H heavy if I am wading from shore is that too much rod? Would MH med heavy be a better way to go? I am also picking up a bait caster reel a as I plan dock and inlet fishing also Great video curious why was the biggest fluke released?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

We generally release the big ones out of concern for the stocks, but we were already at our limit when the big one was caught.

[@frankd6985]

John great video. Have you had a chance to try the Nexus XH versus the H?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Yes. XH is good. I think the only reason I like the cut H better is I prefer the slightly shorter rod for the way I jig.

[@frankd6985]

How much of the Nexus H rod are you cutting off? What weight jig is the sweet spot for the rod once it’s cut?

[@ras124]

You guys freakin rule!!!

[@danmctigue8959]

What’s your best bet for fluke from shore in late summer?

[@alldayjkfishing115]

This video is insane. I can't catch a keeper for my life from shore and skinner and his friends struggle to catch a short lol.

[@harrisgraves592]

Slayin em!

[@michaelvinciguerra2183]

Hey John I was wondering what is the name of the better rod and reel rig?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Nexus. There are links in the video description.

[@Teach_1ne]

Could the nexus rod you have be used for blackfish? I need a tog rod for the fall badly. I was using a shimano trevala with a Seigler SGN. Didn’t do well with it last year. Just looking for direction

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Yes, although I prefer to jig them on lighter tackle.

[@Teach_1ne]

John Skinner Fishing that’s exactly what I want: flexibility for the money haha. Thanks not sure if a conventional will fit the reel if not I’ll throw a power handle on my Tranx and use your tog jigs on it

[@randymcgee9176]

Thanks

[@csralumni]

Now you get paid to yell at Halkias - God bless America!

[@jiggingjerks]

csralumni omg - this is awesome!!!

[@adamcosta4610]

great comment LOL

[@shawnkarasevicz5308]

4:22 "whoa whoa please dont drop it overboard"

[@trancemusic8805]

why do you use bucktail over hi lo rigs?

[@danielweise8516]

Hilarious how you curse every fish you hook on this trip!! Absolutely hilarious. Maybe the first time you were ever slightly disappointed in hooking up. Wouldn't be a skinner video if you didn't catch.

[@jerrymundy4557]

Is that Bug Light you passed?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

yes

[@TheBadgerInMinecraft]

John I get a lot of fluke bites but miss the hookset. Any tips to hook more fluke

[@MichaelP0418]

Sounds like you are not giving the fluke enough time to take the bait. Deal with that quite often when shore fishing as I like to set the hook early on occasion. Keep jigging until you feel steady weight on the end of your line, then set the hook

[@vhate2k773]

What kind of bait do you use?

[@vhate2k773]

ncsam 000000 thx

[@anthonyc1354]

What setup is the red rod/black reel?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

It was the client's rod, which I think was a custom Captain Neil. Not sure what reel he used.

[@guyinpajamapants6892]

Are those bait casting reals? Like commonly used in Bass tournaments?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

They are low profile baitcasters.

[@TheNoobletxd]

Love ur vid Was wondering can the nexus rod and quantum reel handle blackfish?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

definitely

[@MichaelP0418]

I've retrieved a 20lb cow nose ray on that setup. It's awesome

[@michaelvinciguerra2183]

Ok and what’s the reel ?

[@lukekozikowski4316]

Hey john , you got any tips on how to keep gulp tails from hooking themselves while jigging ? I don’t know if that makes any sense lol

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

I think that only happens when a fish hits and the hook is set into the tail. Otherwise it depends on the hook I think. It rarely happens to me.

[@bobthompson9890]

I occasionally have that happen to me when the tide is slack

[@TheLuckyFisherman]

Hi nice fishing & very nice boat what is the name of this boat? what is the length & width of this boat? can you please tell me the company name & website ? waiting for reply Thanks

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

32' Sea Vee

[@enderdoctor7631]

How does he find all the spots I barely catch 1 keeper when I'm out

[@Samuel.Tsadik]

What about blue fish fishing?

[@markw176]

How do I book that trip?!

[@edwardthayer9386]

John cares but most guys could sadly care less! That guy probably thought that was cool. I. Sure John will see that and address it before the next trip.

[@chuckpfeiffer4819]

john best back bay spot in raritan bay?

[@randymcgee9176]

I’m from California and I’m fishing the SF Bay for Halibut with anchovies I want to try your Baits how can I get them?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

You just need jigs, gamakatsu baitholder hooks, and Gulp. I have links to gear in the video descriptions. BTW, I get a lot of positive feedback from CA Halibut anglers on these techniques and gear.

[@chrisbodner9170]

Very cool

[@olenamcquagge7777]

Great fishing...but one cringe moment, when he laid the rod down inside the boat immediately after being told to put it in the rod holder...definitely "newbie" here. Use those ROD holders, they're there for a reason. Geez! When a rod in inside the boat and on the floor...it is a big trip hazard. Ouch.

[@TheRocksandReds]

Are you all cut 4in off the nexus 7ft?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Faisel, client in the stern, was not cut and after using my cut rod, he said it was a big difference and would cut his.

[@TheRocksandReds]

@@JohnSkinnerFishing Thanks, I'm getting ready to order two of them.

[@captainscottlum2371]

I have a pet peeve about not putting rods in the rod holder and laying rods against the gunnel, I've seen them go overboard or broken.

[@loveshinebright1052]

Also if they get nicked bad enough can cause a weak spot.

[@captainscottlum2371]

Are you fishing out of a Seavee?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

yes

[@gm1937]

You forgot the “this” that comes before “supports”. first time.

[@Killemgrillem00]

Great video's but you cant compare to our champion Kayak fisherman, Chef Yaz fluke killer of Montauk.

[@_dave4460]

many years ago people said, flounder won’t bite a hook, gigging was the only way to get them. ok...

[@mojoro23]

Bug Light

[@jesseturner8689]

I'm next

[@raykeelan9009]

John : "Why dont you put it in the rod holder and net his fish?" Guy: throws rod on the deck Lol...

[@mikek7006]

Lmao just lays the pole on john

[@mikebermudez3746]

Hey Mr. Skinner!! Can you take my wife and i fishing???

[@mustluvkatina]

Hey John I have a question I have a tsunami classic series tsccb 761w 7'6 almost every time I hook a fluke on it I pull the hook out is this rod too stiff

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Not too stiff. When you feel weight, or anything, swing away. If you pull it away it will just come back.

[@mustluvkatina]

@@JohnSkinnerFishing I do that and they do come back but I'm having issues keeping them hooked is the problem

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

@@mustluvkatina They are skilled at shaking free if there's any slack. Just keep a bend in the rod while reeling steadily is all I can think of.

[@fishy7381]

So annoying asking what kind of net each time. Just get two big nets lol

[@eviljinsi]

Someone's buying a nexus lol

[@LIDigga]

People will pay big bucks to play with Skinners rod...Ha!!!😂

[@jaye1634]

where there are whales there is bait.
