Stripers on Bucktails with John Skinner | Striper Season Update Ep. 33

In Week 7 of the 14-week video series, OTW Assistant Editor spoke with Long Island fishing author, KZbinr and mentor, John Skinner about spring run stripers, and John's favorite lure... the bucktail.
John talks about the many applications of bucktail jigs, trailers and jig strips, and the differences between fishing for stripers on Long Island's north and south shores. He breaks down the characteristics of a bucktail which he finds most conducive to bass fishing around his home waters of the Long Island Sound and Peconic Bay, while covering some of the action he's seen since his return from Florida last week.

Dead reckoning is a great guy named Brennan. South shore native.

The areas I typically fish would bring in seaweed on every cast if I fished a bucktail near the bottom.

Was at carteret nj pier (Arthur kills) all of last night. 15-20 other guys. No one had a single bite. Hi and low tides. Guys Mostly did cut bunker and blood worms and i was bucktail /glow white grub. Very foggy calm water. Any idea whats up with that? Any nearby spots you recommend. Thank you Sir!

[@snyr8242]

all the animals out there and only deer tail is the only buoyant one? we can't find any others?

[@twisted8221]

How do i order those dead reckoning bucktails?

[@richieg8432]

Its Hollywood Skinner ..

[@samgauvine7816]

It won’t help the wholesale industry, but… talk to a local bow hunter. You guys are loaded with deer on Long Island. I’m an avid bow hunter and I keep tons of deer tails on hand. I’m sure there are all kinds of hunters out your way who follow your channel and would probably just give you deer tails for free. Just a thought for those who tie there own. Thank you for all the learning curves and good luck out there.

If I was a woman I’d want to have John’s baby :) class act.
