Lots of Fish on This Jig - Fall Fishing is Starting!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 жов 2024
- We fished a lot of water in the wake of back to back storms to find the change in weather is igniting the fishing ahead of fall. Water temperatures are dropping and baitfish are schooling up with multiple species of fish under them. A bulky bucktail jig got the job done on this trip.

Thats the notorious lightning strike John Skinner hookset!
i was the kid violently waving at you September 7 on the LADY K at montauk
Hi! It was pretty good there.
Great Video , have the Rod & love it👍
I'm glad you like the rod! Thanks for your support.
John, why are you using the teaser strips for this set up instead Gulp Grubs? Is it just for the durability?
I'm striper fishing and I never use gulp for those.
Hello from Turkey
WAY COOL
What size three way swivel for that setup
3/0
When those dark matters restocking?????
End of October.
I would think with the push for catch and release that the fishing would start to bounce back. Do you think it's an issue with pressure? The bait is there, that's for sure.
John I love when the blues look like Tarpan when they start dancing on top
It's so early the peanut bunker are more like pea bunker
What’s considered a good size boat for those waters?
It depends on the design. Less than 20 feet can be an issue if you don't have high freeboard. Anything with a low bow or low cut transom is a potential problem. You also need some jump to get out of the rip.
I am still catching in Downeast Maine as of 2 nights ago. I will try again tonight. I've been averaging 5 or so fish (stripers) from shore each trip recently, including 1 or 2 keepers per trip almost every time. There are areas around here that have a ton of current with rocks and kelp on bottom. It is a challenge! Thank you for your content it has helped me get onto more fish.
John have you had any issues with Berkley X9 braid? Reading reviews online a guy says him and his friends have issues with the braid getting tangled coming off the spools when casting. They have to cut their lines and retie their rigs
Almost all of my florida fishing is done with 20# X9 on a 2000 Tsunami Evict. It's been very well-behaved. Almost all of that fishing is with light payloads that are more likely to cause wind knots.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing ok thanks
Fun, different content. You have so much knowledge. Thanks for sharing it!
I know I'm way to the game but everytime I watch your videos I learn something
Nice to learn that you can catch bass at the beginning and end of the tide and blues on the middle of time thank you
If this was yesterday 9-4-21 I was at the other end of fishers island trying out my new, (older John skinner recommendation) Tsunami classic TSCC701H with Quantum reel. All I have to say is wow what a fun combo. Caught my 1st keep sea bass. Now I think I may have to get the John Skinner dark matter and see how it pairs with my Accurate 400 reel. And maybe try it for slow pitch jigging. When the Dark Matter John Skinner Jig and Bounce Casting Rods come back into stock at J&H. Wait does that sound like a commercial or something?
My Accurate 400 is currently on a 7" Tiger ugly stick medium action while it works great while bait fishing, and is fair for my first jigging rod. The Tsunami with the quantum reel has spoiled me. Now when I pick up the ugly stick it feels like a telephone pole.
Blues are a fightin fish!
Hey John, I have this rod. I caught over 50 fluke this year so far with the accurist reel, with my biggest being 8 lbs. I know you had some blues in this video, but I'm curious to know if this rod would handle bigger blues and stripers in the 10-25 lb range. Thank you for all that you do.
Absolutely. That Plum Gut application in the 4 knot current with those big blues is a lot of stress. You'll be fine.
when those stripers wont hit a bucktail try tony spoons or spooks. absolute game changer.
I know you already did it but could you go through your fluke box again including all your gulp, your favorite colors if it and your striper and bluefish box?? I still feel like I am suffering from gear overload and I think it would be cool since you have probably updated and have new favorite lures and colors.
So far with the Dark Matter Skinner rod l have caught fluke, seabass, porgie, and just recently blackfish. I can't wait to use it in fall for stripers and blues. I am very impressed with this rod. I can tell you are as well. Thank you for putting out a hell of a rod!
Thank you!
Made in the USA bucktail👍🏻🇺🇸
Getting skunked Sunday mornings ain’t so bad knowing that at least there will a new John skinner video up when I get home. Thanks John.
you too? lol
Love your videos John, and I've definitely learned a ton and caught more fish with your insight. Would you please consider making a short video lecture discussing seasonal migration patterns and times of NY sport fish? particularly saltwater
Where were you fishing off road island?? That must have been some trip!! How long of a ride
Near Watch Hill. Maybe 32 miles.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing what was the weight an the blues?
10ish+ on the better ones
Have said before, The dark matter rod is very very versatile. As always thank you John and John for the information. Will have to try those cannonball sinkers.
What time of day was this and central eastern or western sound?
Late morning eastern.
Where’s the penn battalion John
Was on the some fish blitzing Friday and saterday morning out of rhode island. landed double digit 30 inch class fish on Joe bags resin jig and got my pb Eeling Friday at 42 inches, Thank you for all your advice that you channel is filled with!
If I could buy one of those John Skinner Dark Matter rods I'd have one. Hopefully they will become available soon. Based on the specs it looked like it would handle most of my jigging requirements. Thanks for confirming. I find the hardest part of fishing with that kind of rig is not chipping my boat up. I have to try the 6' and 1' leader. It looked like you could get the sinker over the gunnel before the fish breaks the water. I don't go out on vacation weekends in south jersey but was out last week and the bunker are everywhere and it's wonderful to see.
yep j&h email
J and H has pretty good customer service I have bought a few things and had them send it to me in Maryland. Can't complain it was pretty timely and the order was correct
I have one. If you could get your hands on one you’d love it
@@Delmarvafishing I fish out of Md. And have a non-profit teaching city kids fishing, boating, kayak.let me know if interested in fishing .I charter 6pack /walkon out of nj alot
How do you combat your lure not getting to the bottom? I’m finding it difficult to get down to the bottom unless I’m using very heavy weights
Awesome video I appreciate learning from your videos everytime and that is what I enjoy the most as a very young angler and UA-camr so being able too learn something everytime is just amazing 👍
Just recently got one of your rods and am loving it! Definitely plan to use it for tog and sea bass when they reopen here in NJ.
I appreciate your support! It looks like the rod is going to be way more general purpose than I was aiming for. A nice surprise!
Did anyone else notice the random butterfly on that first fish? Huge Blue fish later on that day Skinner, we used to call those the guerilla blues when we caught them
Great video John ! How did the far end of Long Island make out with tail end of the hurricane ida . What a mess
We were fine. Slept through it and didn't even have puddles in the morning.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing oh wow no puddles even ! Glad to hear sir
John you are so blessed to have such a beautiful place to fish and actually catch a lot of nice fish.
John take me fishing
Great video John! In the scenario in the beginning with the peanut bunker, I am curious what else you could throw other than bucktail?
A Tsunami swim shad, 4-inch.
That rod could really take a beating. Amazing action.
Awesome fishing John, really put the Skinner rod to it’s limits maybe not yet at least, what size boat was that you were on..
32-ft seavee.
You designed something special here John. By far my favorite rod to fish with. Can't wait to get on the Tautog with it. I especially like how the reel is seated more forward compared to other rods I have used.
Everything beyond its fluke capabilities is a nice lucky accident. We were both surprised how well it worked for this. It made it a lot of fun.
Phew if this is a preview of the fall run…..Will this hold you back from heading south to Sharks, Reds and the Snook? Awesome cool fish on
I'll go down when these fish leave.
@@JohnSkinnerFishing You might want to take up ice fishing, with the red tide I don't know what you will find when you get down here.
I'm hours from Tampa where most of the damage was.
Great video, Skinner!! Putting on a clinic as usual! I might have to break down and order one of your rods!!
Thanks for showing the “new to me” rig setup and technique. Appreciate all you are willing to teach.
Nice 4 footer on the East side of BI Friday afternoon, hopefully a sign of things to come! Slow otherwise though...
Feels good to be the third view !
I'm also the third view
I can already see this rod fulfilling many applications for sure as you stated John. Easily can see this a blackfish rod. You have created a Swiss army rod and thats impressive. Thank you.
Hearing John curse reminds me he’s not just a fishing machine 😂
🤙🤙
Those were the days John, thanks for reviving old memories.
Yea, at this point just call it a jigging rod lol
Always bring Albie Snax and epoxy minnows when the prevalent bait is tiny.
This is definitely a good sign for fall fishing. I just hope that we get action like this up here in Southern Maine. I will definitely be using more bucktail this fall. Thanks, John, you got me to start fishing with bucktail! Your bucktailing videos have, without a doubt, helped a lot. Everything I know about bucktail fishing is credit to you, Sir....thank you!👍
I'm glad I could help you out! The bucktail is an awesome tool.
John I'm sure your rod is over qualified for any species caught a lot more than fluke on it so far. Even fought a large ray for 45 minutes with no issue till my line popped.
