God bless Rick. What a great guy taking all his buddies fishing. Unforgettable day!

Rick was PAYIN' BILLS on that trip! And he wasn't even a dick about it, even though he 100% owes you guys for all the jawing the last couple seasons. :) Epic trip.

You know it's a great day when you have to edit and omit fish footage because you've got toooooo much of it!! Bravo, Skinner!!

Wow, what a day!! Beautiful fish John 🎣

That was an epic fishing trip! So enjoyable to watch and learn!

I love the video most, when you're on Rick's boat. I have watched it several times. Great video Mr. Skinner.

That's was one awesome day of fishing. You guy's pulled up some very nice ones. Keep up the great catches..

Love it when the captain slays them up like that

Rick schooled you guys he had the hot rig for sure ! 😂. Great video as always John 👍

Mr. Skinner has that eye 👁 👀 for everything from fish to the DEC, like I always say Mr. Skinner you are the man.

What an awesome day, and a big congrats to Mr. Skinner for his DD 💪

What a day! Great job guys

Man yall killed it! Awesome video

Lol......My son and I were on the Star that day! LE was very courteous, checked coolers, measured one of my Sea Bass and left...... definitely a first for me....we had a fantastic day on the fish as well, both my son and I hitting our limits up to 7 pounds

Another great video John

You guys rock always catching quality fish . fish on

Love this video Mr. Skinner.

John I got a question when you where netting why didn't you go around instead of cutting thru your friends when going up to the bow?

You take the best fluke fisherman on NY waters, and they always make him net all the fish! Lol

I really enjoy your videos. Great work.

GREAT JOB rick way to Hook em keep up the grate work your friend Mike from nj

Great fishing 🎣

Rick is always killin it honestly

What a bunch of ball busters you guys are. My kind of fishermen. 👍🏻does Rick need a new friend ?

Great trip. Went out Friday and Tuesday in Huntington, 1 keeper fluke on Tuesday. The harbor is thick with bunker but nothing chasing it.

Rick =MVP. 🤣🤣🤣

Nice job skinner one day would love to fish with you 🎣

Rick was killing them

The ricksets never fail..till they do..🤣

enjoy ur content keep it up

some banner fishing...great job

🤣🤣 let's try not to poke Rick's eye out. He's funny.

Hey John thanks for the great videos. I tried Montauk point the week before last and only got two big porgy. Seems as though nobody was catching Any fluke

Outstanding

Holy cod!

You definitely have a 6th sense about LE on the water - too funny….

Very nice video, nice and crisp. Way better quality.

Wow the Montauk star was boarded !?! Insane

Rick was on Fire

I was on the Star when it was boarded. They checked all the coolers and even measured some fluke and seabass. Kinda dumb to board in the morning

They were biting like that at the Redondo Beach harbor one day.

Nice video 🙏❤️😀😘😂

if you go over the bottom of the jigs with sally hansens hard as nails the paint will stay on so much longer without chipping..i do it to all my buck tail jigs and also i coat the thread wraps where the buck tail hair is tied on..

Great video John. Thanks for posting. Have you got a recommendation for a spinning rod for tog jigging using 1-2 oz. jigs?

what party boat was that? first time i saw one get boarded.

The fishing in that area has been pretty steady for the last couple of weeks . Great job guys 👍

Banner day!

What chapter in the book, is the Rick set?

Good eye as usual John spotting law enforcement

Hello John. I have found on occasion that I did hook up more if allowed my rig to scope out a little. I think because it puts the teaser closer to the bottom which might be where the majority of fluke prefer to stay. And why does Rick always look like he wants to high stick the fluke right from the bottom of the ocean and straight into the boat. Looks really awkward sometimes watching him fish.

wish you could explain how you gig up in details not so mush in catching fish after fifh more in how to . love you guys

That is sick fishing! Nice work Just curious what rod is Rick using ? Thank you

I see that you switch from a blue reel to a white. Is that because you have a second ready to go in case you snag bottom, or different lb test line switches?

Holy s&$#. Never heard skinner drop the f bomb before🤣😂🤣

Rick was on Fire 🔥 How much did Cliff’s cod weigh? Awesome Trip!!!

God I want to know where this is! I know it’s out east but where😂 great video man 👍

Great trips like that sure make up for those tough ones! John, I see all you guys use different color combinations to determine what might be the hot color for the day. In your opinion does having different color tandem bucktails/colors of gulp on both the high & low produce better than having uniform colors on both? Does water depth determine the decision in using either or?

Just curious what day this was from? We were out there Saturday and did well, but had to back troll most of day to weather conditions.

Hi John, a question about fishing big structures like those wind turbines and that deep water petroleum platform that’s near me in the Sound, is it allowed ? Are there special regulations ? They have to hold fish, especially way out at Block Island. Thanks. Great video, at least somebody’s kicking fish a _ _ !

If you were fishing the Long Island sound port Jeff area. What size gulp would you consider?

I couldn't hear a word of what was said on the VHF. That being said, I was on a charter out of Montauk fishing the same area this weekend and saw that same law enforcement boat. Was this Saturday?

Now those are some doormats

John …… what do you guys do with all the fish ?? Equally split it up or does each man bucket and keep his own fish ?

Is J&H the only place to get the Dark Matter rods you designed? Need to replace the Jigging World Nexus that snapped last season...

I'm curious, when netting fish for the guys in the bow, why do you grab the net from the empty side of the boat, then go to all the trouble of squeezing past everyone when you could just walk unobstructed up the empty side?

are you fishing a charter or on a friends boat? looking to catch some fluke in next 2-3 weeks and looking for a good boat, as long as hurricane doesnt screw up fishing. thanks in advance

wow look at all them guys in rubber pants

Who put you on the fish ?!?! Always makes me laugh!

Love the videos and the fact you were going to let the bug girl go but we all know as a fisherman we should never handle any fish with a rag as it removes their protective slime coat that keeps them healthy

Is this a pontoon boat?

What’s your opinion of using live mud minnows / killies as opposed or in conjunction with gulp ? I’m in NJ and it’s out fishing gulp nearly 7:1 minnow to gulp. Granted the larger fluke are typically on 6” gulp w/ buck tail - the raw circle hook with mud minnow is absolutely unstoppable

How deep was the wreck location/cod hookups?

Saltsstrong/Rick'sstrong

John, where would I purchase a Swing hook Bucktail mold? I’ve bought 6 Do It molds and searched their site, but they don’t carry it.

Ugh...so frustrating that I was right there that same day just a quick shot away and was not productive at all. Great job!

How is it decided who's turn it is to do the netting?

Engrave weight on jig molds?

The 3 dislikes are the guys that dumped the fish off the Montauk star lol. The whole video in like Ricks got a 4oz he was scoping a bit more the everyone.

What make of boat is that John?

What was the name of that boat? Looks like super hawk. This wk and last wk has been really good for big fluke. I caught some really nice ones. As most of the people on the boat did as well. A few 8 lbers and a bunch of 5-6 lbers

Hey John, any plans on using the underwater drone soon?

What kinda boat are you using

Wow, Rick should open the boat to one outsider every trip who must fish the other side of the boat, cover the fuel cost, stop and net every fish, and can't speak at all unless spoken to. The line would be a mile long to get on board because, as he likes to point out, and there is no denying, "he puts you on the fish!!".

Haven't seen action like that since my block island trip lol. I have a question if Skinner or anybody with anymore knowledge/time on the water a reply would be appreciated. In June I'm mostly fishing tight inshore or off jetties here in NJ. By July I'll still be fishing the jetties or a bit further off the shore by boat. By August I'm fishing the deeper wrecks in 60-90ft with mostly rigs due to depth and scope if I used bucktails. What I've noticed is that the tide matters more the tighter inshore you get but in August when I look deeper in those wrecks the tides seem to have a lesser effect. So I read through the forums and find that current has more effect on fish. I find the direction in which the current moves and won't you know it I find that the currents move water south from RI and MA and LI down through the Raritan even further down south into my neck of the woods off the jersey shore. So my question is if I have a SE wind moving south to north for example going into a current flowing southward does this create an ocean equivalent of wind against tide or does it not matter further offshore. And the opposite scenario as well. What if I have a NE wind flowing from the north in the same way the currents are moving does that create a faster drift making it hard to keep bottom or does it make for a good day? Sorry for the long comment I find myself trying to make fishing as much of a science and study the waters as thoroughly as possible. I'm somewhat new to fishing as I've been fishing seriously for about two years which is nothing compared to most people fishing

What kind of boat. Is it a Pacific?

How deep were you guys fishing?

why do you guys all wear waders? isnt it hot out there?

What exactly did the radio say???

Man! With all the keeper flukes u guys caught, how u manage to eat all that fish and catching more the following trip?

How many ounces on the buck tail

I was going to question Rick’s choice of using the slimwave rod for fluke but it seems to be working very well.

Hey Johnny , it’s Dave Graf. I changed my you tube name. I got two nice fat stripers on the cordell this morning. They were 26” and 24” - Heavy tho …. It was cool!!! Sorry haven’t been watching….. 💔 … these women… I gotta scroll through see the awesome vids you got !!!

The different is I don’t have to go to 70 foot of water and fish I can go in the marsh

What a pile of fish ! John . I was curious the recharge juice you speak of for gulp . Is it a certain scent or just generic scent . In relation to the fluke .

I have one question for you tube I’m subscribe to this channel I have been for a while why wasn’t it in my feed ?

So Exactly how many people does it take to catch all them ? I could do that by myself in a couple hours without bucktails only gulp

Couldn’t really hear what they were saying over the radio

Second

John stick to catching fish. Let the others use the net.. Just kidding !
