[@jackborum8970]

Congratulations john. You earned it. I learned so much watching your videos and reading your book on fluke fishing. Keep up the good work.

[@thelinecook]

Congrats on the 100K well deserved. I just caught my personal best flounder the day after the storm, it was a 23inch 4.25lb fish off the surf in NJ! I started using bucktails exclusively this year for fluke and I’ve caught more this year then any other. Thank you for the knowledge, you have definitely helped me grow as an angler.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Congrats on your PB! That's an awesome beach flounder.

[@josephhorstmann4585]

Congratulations John, and thanks for all the knowledge you share 👍🏻

Bay wading is one of the most satisfying methods of fishing. In my younger days I used to wade the sound near Wading River or both Fire Island and Jones Inlet.

[@smokster0604]

Sea robin highly prized as food in France, the call it the gurnard. Andrew Zimmern did a spot on one of his shows about catching, cooking and eating searobins. Fried robin in red sauce over pasta!

[@ali1982an]

[@sergeykhaitov678]

Congrats! I just was fishing same area of your previous video in the bay with my buddy and we were almost ran over some speed boat... Same circumstance - the guy sees us and basically drives 20 feet away (I can’t believe it was unintentional) we were off main traffic area...

[@ParKor82]

[@robertk28k29]

Hey thanks so much for these videos they are so informative...I used they set up with bucktail with gulp grub and sand eel teaser and went to local dock and caught 10 fluke in little over hour 3 keepers and one monster that I dropped at dock...,

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Super catch!! I'm glad the videos helped you. Thanks for sharing.

[@ivanvoznenko7874]

I love searobins! This season I've only caught one, the rest have been fluke. Very strange..

[@smedoz]

Ivan Voznenko caught 11 today and only 1 fluke, eat through 20 bucks of gulp

[@ivanvoznenko7874]

@@smedoz are you in NY or NJ? I spoke with someone else who has only been seeing fluke from the surf. It's almost as if most searobins went to NY this summer!

[@smedoz]

Ivan Voznenko moriches bay ny nothing but sea robins

[@squiddyl4852]

John love this spot , caught my first ever striper off of my kayak not too far off too your right there where the channel starts day before Father’s Day , going to have to fluke in that area sooner than later. Good to know if conditions are right that island is a good place to fish when I’m sick of paddling. Thanks for the vids and congrats you deserve the subs.

[@aidanfolkman9752]

Where is this spot on Long Island?

[@gm1937]

Hi John a fellow fisherman told me that the rapid jigging attracts the sea robins, and if you instead employ a very slow retrieve with occasional but very brief rapid retrieves, tap tap or tap tap tap, and back to very slow again, you are less likely to get the attention of the sea robins. I have tried it myself and it seems to make a difference. I was wondering if you've ever tried this or something similar.

[@MattsKennels]

I have that exact same rod and it’s amazing! It’s got a real good back bone and it’s my light setup for stripers

[@MattsKennels]

@Steven GENNERO Bootz depending on the size lure ur using. Anything over 2.5oz would put somewhat stress onto the rod in my opinion. I use a medium heavy and buck tails under 2ish seem ok

[@smokster0604]

Gosh I do miss fishing Shinecock lots of structure.....Fish on I'm headed back to N.E.K.....

[@johnsamothrakis4621]

Thanks for another Great informative video , my favorite channel. Congratulations on your award 👍

[@WoodisGood82]

Love the channel, congratulations. Got some big fluke off one of the big islands in Rhode, wink wink this past Sat!

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

We just returned happy from a spot like you describe :-)

Congrats legend you should be and will be at a Million soon.

[@bonniegiebfried278]

Congrats Thank you for sharing your enthusiasm for fishing n tips to fish smarter

[@brooklynanglerfishing]

Just bought this exact rod but a 7ft Medium to match my Penn Clash ii 4000. I am going to try this week to get out there and try your approach.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

It will also be a great albie combo.

[@brooklynanglerfishing]

John Skinner Fishing after using the 7ft medium size rod, I now see why you use light bucktails. I used 1/4-3/4oz bucktails today and had some good short size fluke action.

[@Tog_Tastic]

I plan on harvesting Sea Robin as much as i can to help give the fluke a chance.

[@dannymasas8539]

Great video John!! Just wonder how far can you cast with that rod? Thanks for your time and videos!!

[@sunkwanyun8745]

congrats! i love watching your channel. since it's fluke season i am trying to go fishing soon . i am really curious where you are fishing at exactly if you can share. i am in ny too so i am looking for some good spot for fluke in long island. thanks for sharing your greatness ^^

[@vipergeddy]

Congrats John on 100k grate job keep up the grate work your friend Mike from nj

[@josephraiola8255]

Nice John!

[@mikeitalz7587]

Hey John, can you make a video on how to open a *** damn package of Berkeley gulp without completing ripping the ziplock off of one side and leaving gulp juice all over your pants... love your vids and don’t leave us for Florida completely!!!

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Uggh. I've done some swearing at that myself.

[@anthonygregorio2208]

Hey john. Congrats on the 100k subs. About the rod... I bought the M action for my gf and I. Think it’s a great rod for fluking.

[@Luke-do1ek]

Hey john picked up a spook the other day and caught two nice bass on them last night would have never even used them for stripers if it wasn’t for your vids. thank you sir.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

Awesome!

[@theseptopus]

Congrats again on 100k! Up here in Newport it's sea robin city, so I feel your pain haha

[@LongLe-ue2mi]

The searobin problem is definitely a cultural thing. Most Americans (NE Tri-State Americans.....) do not like searobins or are too ashamed to admit that searobins are delicious. This purely out of stigma. I'm guilty of it too, theyre definitely delicious and yet I am reluctant to keep too many of them. (I do like keeping a trophy size searobing from time to time). But I won't hesitate to keep any keeper size flounder. As Landshark Fishing said ," theres no such thing as trash fish, just trash cooks". I think that statement holds very true. A straight up salt and peppper fish fry recipe doesnt work with every fish. You have to explore different cooking techniques and flavor profiles. Don't be afraid to explore different ingredients outside of the usual spices in your cupboard. Salt, pepper and thyme will only get you so far. Try certain curries combined with coconut, or thai chilis, or try searobins sashimi style. kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2qaaX98fbWCpKM . Fluke honestly is some of the most boring fish to eat straight out of the cooler, but preparation is everything to make a good meal.

[@sgrisafi]

I'm originally from L.I. , and I love fishing videos. The only thing I would like to know in your videos where the fishing spots are?

[@Remba35]

I was hoping it was a certificate for jelly of month club! John, congrats! I’ve been a subscriber since you started and my buddies and I are always throwing out your name when things get tough... “WWSD”?

[@kamarte]

John, I couldn't help noticing like almost all flukes were caught on upper hook baited with sand eel . I've couple of thoughts then. Have you ever tried a drop-shot style or Carolina rigs there? The second one is, could change of your lure to a 10 or 20 gr microjig or a sinking or suspended hard-bait make a difference and fend off those pesky sea robins? Thanks.

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

The searobins will hit everything. Normally I get close to a 50:50 split with the bucktail/teaser, but I do notice they really go after that sandeel on a plain hook more than anything in these shallow casting settings. Have not done dropshot or carolina rig.

[@dyshine]

congrats!

[@timdicicco3737]

What was the water temp on this trip please? Will the Fluke leave the bay and head for the ocean at a certain water temp? Thanks for all the helpful info

[@timothyfruhauf611]

Honestly I’d rather catch a sea robin than no fish at all

[@1through11]

Have you seen the new Penn low profile baitcasters

[@JohnSkinnerFishing]

I have not.

[@freddewfishing7611]

Well earned Congrats

[@Nathan8899]
