When everything is given, time/gear/season, then the only thing is missing from the formula is knowing where the fish are. When I got the gear, I don't have the time, when I got gear and time, I'm out of season, when everything checks, can't find the fish.

Once lost a huge sail because these a-holes trolled over the line 50 yds from the boat, hooked the line, and then started yelling at us to get away because they thought THEY hooked the sail. Top 10 most frustrating fishing moments.

No, because the fish are hard to stay in contact with and the barbs on these hooks are small.

You mention in fishing the edge (which I am thoroughly enjoying) to fight albies w your horizontal rod pumps and not vertical over your head, what is the reason for this ?
@JohnSkinnerFishing Жыл бұрын
When you pull with the rod level to the water, you're pulling straight on the fish as opposed to on an angle, so you're exerting more force. A physics teacher could explain better. If you've ever watched anglers fight fish like tarpon you'll see they do the same. It would be a little awkward with a rod longer than 8 feet, but since I fish 7 and 7 1/2-foot rods for albies, it works great.

Hello John. I was wondering do you fish at low or high tide? Incoming or outgoing. Ive tried surf fishing a couple of times near like jones beach and the waves were terrible enough to knock me down. I was wondering how do you handle that? Waves were so strong every time i casted my rod bent as if i got bit. This happens every time i go surf fishing. I was wondering how do you time the tides and handle these conditions? Thank you in advance.
@ATREZ0123 11 ай бұрын
Clearly I'm no John Skinner but I can respond to a couple things. This video looks like a Bay not an open beach shore. So the waves are very slight. Also if your rod is bending from the current like that, then it sounds like you don't have a heavy enough rod for the Shore. Medium Heavy between 8ft to 11ft. For sure, outgoing low tide will be easier to wade but not usually the best time for sure fishing. Keep trying. Good luck

Hey Mr.Skinner,I had a question about the Hellbenders you picked up recently.Ive been looking into them and the inseam seams pretty long.I was just curious how tall you are and what size you bought?I'm a 36-32 and I believe the inseam on the waders I would need would be 36,That seems like they would be baggy.

@stephenhusak6098 3 жыл бұрын
Truman's Beach. East Marion NY. Get there before dawn. Walk east towards the houses on the beach. Wait for first crack of light. Start casting like a madman. Make sure you close your bail or pick up your line the second your Hogy epoxy jig or deadly duck hits the water. Dont let it sink.

Just a side question what percentage of casting to catching false Albacore would you say there is per 100 cast 25% is my guess. I know at one Point people have said false albacore are the fish of a thousand casts
@JohnSkinnerFishing 4 жыл бұрын
Depends on the fishing. It's 3 casts per minute the way I fish. So 2 hits in an hour would be one hit for 90 casts.

Hi John, have you ever tried to put a much longer leader? I have learned in the rocky areas a 10 ft long leader would be much durable. You can connect fluro carbon to braid by FG knot, which you will bypass the swivel. I have personally landed 38 lb striper on this kind of knot and don't have no problems at all.
