Blackfish Fishing from Shore - Triple Limit! Plus Albies!

[@mariotantoco1948]

Man..I was basically laughing at the moment John hook up on those fish.I never seen a guy catching blackfish casting.He really knows where to cast and where the fish are holding.Amazing Angler.All respect to you!

[@dannydanielsnyc]

This location is DREAMY! BEAUTIFUL VIEW

[@edwardthayer9386]

You sincerely need a show on the highest rated channel!

[@curtisg.8671]

John that water clarity is priceless. Looks good. That would be cool if blackfish ran beaches in huge numbers because they are pound for pound one of the hardest fighters if not the hardest inshore fish for its size.

[@danielweise8516]

LOVE the zoom on the rod tip. Do that more. I love to see what you are feeling.

[@jefferyduran9852]

When the season is over and the temps are freezing I'll be watching your 2019 A Season on the Edge compilation.... Over and over again!!

[@Well_Edumacated]

I am amazed at how clear the water is.

[@jobino511]

What the heck john! The most challenging species for me and the most frustrating for me. Way to go!

[@bionikcruz223]

wow look how clear that water is. Good eating they love green crabs.

[@welltaut9102]

What a great fishing trip. Never knew you can get tog from the beach! Great video and great tips

[@BStavFishing]

Thanks John!! Just got me through 25 minutes on the treadmill with this awesome video!! Way to use technology to set up a game plan from shore!!

[@pigsandapples]

Very interesting for me. Your Blackfish are similar in habit and habitat to our Eastern Blue Groper here in NSW, Australia. Our Groper grow bigger but are also heavily structure oriented and eat a diet of crustaceans. The most common rig in my area is a small running ball sinker directly down to a size 2/0 to 5/0 hook. I'm curious to try your jigs as an option. The hook point riding up on the sea bed sounds like it could save me plenty of snags.

[@letitiawilliams9990]

Was wondering where this location is, and can't wait for the season to open back up. Great videos

[@tylercahill7859]

This was amazing! Two species of fish that i really wanna catch at some point but probably wont anytime soon and both from shore what an amazing video!!! 👏 👏 👏

[@BeetleBuns]

wtf, this man can do anything! Never heard of a tog caught from shore Love watching those albies swim around, they're so stiff with it, like little robo-fish

[@thereelraconteur7801]

I don't even know why I watch your videos anymore. Pure torture. "Hey look I'm surfcasting for keeper Tog..." "Oh HEY LOOKEY HERE! Albies just happened to pop up right in front of me..." First cast hookup. "Hmmmm this is an okay spot..." Yeah. No shit John. Lol. You are the best man. Love it as always.

[@Nick_176]

Love surf fishing for Tog! John you're the best!

[@michaelarma4468]

Hey John awesome catch!! I used to fish blackfish off the beach too 40 years ago. I would spike my rod and big blackfish would drag my rod into the water!! What the hell made you say let me try this? Great idea . Tight lines!!

[@mv20297]

GoPro can repair a corrupted file. Put corrupt file into camera and turn it on with a charged battery. The gopro should recognize the corrupt file and ask you if you want it to repair it. This happened to me before when my camera ran out of battery while filming.

[@jefemaximo2537]

While it’s obviously not a guarantee, it’s good to hear that you didn’t lose any jigs, as that was my first thought about this type of fishing. I’ve also found that these jigs catch fewer bottom weeds than others I’ve used - likely due to the hook position.

[@fishmarket22]

Love jumati rod tip. What's more. I love to see what you're feeling.

[@MKOutdoors]

Water over the rocks looks amazing

[@fn9362]

NICE JOB JOHN

[@langstonrowe8243]

Hey John, my number one rule when fishing is take a cooler with ice. Nice video.

[@GetReelBassFishing]

That water is so clear! Holy Cow!

[@originalseahorse]

Smoked tautog is what I am thinking. Nice tips!

[@scottbrightman3662]

Wondering just how you procure crabs as bait? Would you do a in depth video on the subject?

[@Lookingglassaquarium]

Really I wanna quit work and just fish all day ...great action from shore love ur videos..keep them coming

[@ReelinWithCarolyn]

Awesome video! Gonna try fishing off the rocks for blackfish!

[@robertlucas8104]

I have a tsunami trophy II as well. Such a great and affordable rod. I’ve got to go out and grab these togs. While I don’t have sweeper jigs yet, would a drop shot rig be as effective with a lead and a 2/0 or 3/0 hook?

[@jonathansundh5626]

wondering the same..

[@robertlucas8104]

if no secret where is this? fishing aside, I just simply havent seen water that clear in NY or NJ waters. id love to visit btw great video!!

[@nicholascapuano9877]

That water is so clean

[@noneyalevy3793]

John did you ever make that separate video of how to use google maps? You mentioned about 15:00 in that you had a separate video coming for that. For example, I'm down by the jersey shore and good maps doesn't show any rocks either in the ocean, or in the many outlets connected to the ocean

[@jamesky1047]

You make the fishing expirience look so darn ez

[@hstetser5376]

Thats one thing i miss about the northeast. The striper, tog and fluke fishing

[@mr.verducci1971]

John, when are you getting around on how you use Navionics to find those spots?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

I'm trying to get to it.

[@sonnyn5119]

Hi John, I am looking to buy reel and rod for black fishing on the surf as I do not have a boat. I would most likely fish from the shore, just like yourself in this video. Conventional wisdom say get a tall rod, so you won't get stuck, and then there is action/power, etc. I do not fish a lot so, all that information confuse me. Any recommendations on size of rod and reel? I live in the Northeast - Awesome videos! Appreciate it.

[@bigrick9776]

John where are you fishing ? The water clarity is amazing. Also do you think the beach covered with rocks and boulders helped in having more success. I know my area beaches are sandy bottoms. Would I still find blackfish on sandy beaches ?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

I'm on Long Island Sound. You need rocks or similar structure for blackfish.

[@johnychung9885]

Wow.. I wish I can do same thing. I am in nj. Where did you get the map of rocks? I have to find my spot. Thank you for your time.

[@omarsheriffkaptan]

When I feel the taps and don’t hurry or set the hook, I feel nothing else till I feel back and realize there’s no crab on the hook. They are excellent at stealing those crabs.

[@francisresch6654]

Great video John. Which Navionics app did you use? It sure would beat my hunting and pecking to use that tool.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

The android one. Nothing special. I think it was $10.

[@francisresch6654]

John Skinner Fishing thanks John. I look forward to your upcoming video on this subject.

[@xclusivereef5805]

Nice video john. I see you fish here ina lot your videos. yet to figure out where it is. anyone have any suggestions in north shore where i can go fishing for blacks?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Wildwood State Park. You could do exactly what I just did.

[@xclusivereef5805]

Thanks John will give it a shot this weekend.

[@jiay6692]

Is a permit required to fish there? For parking etc?

[@rabidpeanut3703]

First time viewer of your stuff John! Include a rough idea of where you;re fishing each trip? All that information in the description for tackle, bags and camera equipment except no general location mentioned? Weird. Luckily, the rocky shore line and accent is giving it away enough ;)

Eastern Long Island on this one.

[@strichards5337]

Mr. Skinner. Had my first beach stroll along eastern LI Sound this past weekend (don’t want to spot burn), pebble beach, rocks, etc. Saw a lot of small lobster tails. Enough to make me wonder what’s preying on them? Seals? Bass? Tog? I’d say tails were from 1lb & smaller lobs. Thought you’d have some ideas. Thank for any reply.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

I'm very surprised, as I'm not seeing any. Lobsters really vanished over the last 10 years. So you saw these on the Sound side of the North Fork?

[@strichards5337]

John Skinner Fishing yes sir. Was on the north fork. Sound side. East of Marion. Easy parking. There were enough on the beach I had to ask about it. Was there over Columbus wknk and no evidence of such so this has occurred in the last few weeks. Thank you always sharing and teaching.

[@TheNorthForkCatch]

What was the red and black reel in the second part of the video you were using?

[@ejmanx87]

You always find the greatest spots! I live in Center Moriches, do you know of any good areas by me that I might have some luck casting from shore or dock? I don’t have the luxury of a boat as an option to go where the fish are yet, unfortunately

[@idkwhattouseforname]

How far from the rock do you have to land the jig? you mentioned at the end, 50 feet away from the rock and you wont be catching anything? Within what radius of the structure does your jig have to be?

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

I really want it within 15 feet.

[@idkwhattouseforname]

@@JohnSkinnerFishing wow accuracy is everything. thanks!

[@ShooterQ]

[@robertcronin6714]

Hey John great video. I'm going out for blackfish on the outback in the morning down here in Barnegat bay where there isn't a single rock big enough to fish except for the inlet jetties. Bridge pilings and docks provide most of the action but fish of size are tough to come by. Man do I miss the Sound especially the east end.

[@MIKEDAMIEN3]

Any reason why you tie direct to jig? No clip?

Trying to keep it as simple as possible with minimal hardware.

John what surf rod and size would you recommend for all around use just getting into it here on Long Island, looking at the trophy 2 rods

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

If your fishing includes the ocean, I'd get the 10-foot Trophy 2. If mostly bays and Sound, the 8 1/2-footer.

I forgot they have a 9-footer. That may be your best choice.
