The trips where you put it all together with trial and error are the best. Really nice

Wow! You have opened up another door in my mind with the jigs for porgies. Last year someone one put me on to small circle hooks for them . More creative ways to catch. Thanks

Another great video John. I really appreciate all the "how to" you share.

I just love the underwater perspective. Your skill is amazing. Thanks for sharing.

Another really good instructional DVD, thanks for sharing it. I LOVE Porgy fishing. "

It's so amazing I was fishing in long island with my nephew ! I was catching fish in a pretty big spot...A couple started fishing right on top of my line..Different bait will catch fish...You don't have to stay on top of another person fishing..Lots of room..

Definitely digging the video rolling while underway, moving spots.

My favorite fishing all time is bottom fishing for Porgy...Thanks for the video..

Awesome video, awesome technique!

Hey John. I always enjoy your videos. I wish I lived closer to the ocean. Live in Pa. And usually go out of Barnegat Light NJ couple times a year. I have an 18' Starcraft deep V aluminum boat..... No leaks. But I still have a bilge pump.

Thanks for more of your great vids.

Thumbs up if you think John deserves a boat sponsor

Nice action. The big ones sure have moved in this past week or so. we pulled up a couple 17 inchers on bucktail and gulp while targeting fluke.

just ate some porgy last night I caught in the sound Sunday . Butter fried salt n pepper. YUM

Great content John! I hope you do get a boat sponsor some day, you deserve it 👍🏼🎣

Such a good video!

That under water Video was great

Hey John those are nice Big Porgies u catch, I watched another video and these two guys were going wild saying wow we got big Porgies but very tiny compared to yours lol stay safe out there Pal. Great video as always

i love it when a plan comes together . gotta watch those spines. nice job!

Great video. Can you please do a video of your boat and what kind of boat you would suggest for fishing new york sound and bays?

Nice looking Porgys. I can't wait to go Porgy fishing.

I just finished watching the 5th video in your Fluke Mastery Course (I think it was on fishing in 30'-40' depths). My biggest problem has always been locating fish, & in that video it was kind of like a light bulb went on & I think I finally GOT what you've occasionally hinted at or touched on in some of your free videos about that, HOORAY! There's a lot of information in that course I've yet to cover, but it's got me excited about hitting the water. Thank you so much! In THIS video, You said that if you didn't find any porgy along the contour line that you'd "try something else", can you give us some tips on what else to look for to find porgy? .

Hey John thanks for the video...i liked the killie trap chum technique...will be trying that someday.

Great Video! do you have any good/preferred porgy recipes?

What sized hook is on your jigs, and are you just dragging the jig along the bottom? Lightly bouncing it, or just above it? Thank you and great video as always.

The BG is a great reel. I run the 2500 also for walleyes.

Hi John, I ordered 3oz porgy/blackfish jigs! I fish a lot on party boats ,will they be ok for inshore ocean spots on a party boat?

John, great video as always. The part that resonated with me was the chumming. Man oh man, can’t tell you how many times that makes the difference between catching and not catching. Chumming and getting there before the fleet (I’m convinced) helps ensure you get some fish under your boat. By the way, may I suggest a certain doctor (ok, really just a dentist) sponsor a boat for you :)

Awesome video's. I've viewed a large portion of your production's and have learned allot. I'm in coastal NC and hope to find some fluke/flounder "honey holes" in my region. I'm rigging your set-up and hoping for better results.

Love this!

This is honestly my dream boat. Perfect size. When your ready to get rid of her John keep me in mind!!

excellent video, thanks!

As always grwat video Mr.Skinner!So is a porgy and a scup the same fish?

Yes a Boat Sponsor would be great so anyone out here make it happen as this Channel from John is so educational from How to Fish & where to what to use for different fish to Boating Safety so a boat Sponsor would be perfect and well deserved

Great content !

Man that was a nice catch one after another great job

Salt water master!!!💯💪👊LET'S GO!!! A1!💯

If they still have a late season double limit trips on the Montauk party I’d rather do that no boat cleaning great action and you’re right too many to clean so only take what you’ll use for couple of days trust me you’ll get sick of porgie sandwiches,me I eat fluke since flounder don’t exist and bass=pcbs.

The Bg reels are awesome I got 3 of them. For the price there insane.

Maybe you can get a sponsorship (2-3 cans) from the infomercial guys who spray that rubber crud on a screen door then go canoeing on it.

Gluvit that boat. From the bottom works. From the bottom and from the inside is better yet. I had an 18ft starcraft for years. Gluvit works well.

I know this is a old video but were you bleeding these out?

This guy could catch a fish in a puddle great knowledge

When will you show weak fish from Peconic bay

I would have mistaken them for juvenile Orata if i was on the other side of the atlantic ocean. Good tasty fish. Porgy it is ..

Mr. Skinner; I would love to order some of these jigs but the minim for free shipping at J+H is a little crazy. Wondering if you might be able to suggest something for new customers to try your products to increase sales?

Need your advice John!! Seems I can't target seabass while porgies are hitting the bait (except accidently) is there any trick to target seabass among thousands of hungry porgies?

Glad to see you using Daiwa reels!! Curious how you feel they compare to the lighter weight Penn reels you used.

John, are you using your Penn reels much these days or did you switch over to Diawa?

Sweet boat! What is it??

“I guess I need a boat sponsor” haha

hi john I love the underwater camera! did you find a new auto shop? I used to do all your repairs over at d and s not perry its dave

John I just started keeping the fish I catch. How long can you keep them in a cooler ungutted to be safe?? Thanks!

Porgy are such great table fish. nothing better than a fried one!

amazing how even tho peconic bay is my backyard it's hard to tell where he is-my guess is near jessups neck

@Skinner I'm 24 and love fishing I've been a surfcaster for a couple years now but I want to pick up a aluminium boat for porgy and fluke in the bays what size boat would I need for 2-3 people to fish somewhat comfortably and also what size (hp) motor would I need to get around the bays of Long Island? Also how much money would I need to save to get a roundabout for a boat motor trailer and fish finder if you were able to guesstimate a number?

I live on Long Island :D

Those porgys are larger than wells river fish.

Great content john, videos have been great lately. What kind of boat you got there?

What does he put on the jig

What chum cage do you use and where do you get it? I looked on J&H app. But didn’t see it.

Porgies are tasty. However, I hate dealing with the bones.

They taste even better if you bleed them by cutting downward after placing the knife in the gill slit

Was just fishing those waters today, went off the Angler Fleet im sure your familiar. Brought home a nice porgy and cooked him up.

excellent idea by chumming let the fish come to you not waste fuel and wondering where are the fish.

North Shore of the Peconic John?

i dont beleve you said you beleve the reports from the head boats, should have been here yesterday

Nice Fishing

Are you using baits on those jigs ?

Is it possible to jig from a jetty to catch porgie

You didn’t bleed the porgies. Is it because it doesn’t make a difference in its flavor?

A big blackfish won’t straighten out that hook?

I enjoy watching your videos. Can you tell me the details about your boat?

John could you tell us about the boat,, I love the console thing if and when that is the choice I will make I assume they cost more for that feature but I would appreciate any and all guidance in learning about the specs of the boat the motor, how you trailer it etc thank you Jeff

When I fish for porgies I just use a paternoster rig with clams or porgies, I only use jigs tipped with squid or clams when I’m fishing for Black Sea bass

Never would have guessed in a million years you were sponsered by J&H, LOL!!! Btw, why the sudden interest in Diawa reels? Are they a new sponser?

Lmao, your comment about the cooler in the last video is so much funnier now!

Rhode Island?

Niice work on the scup... I'll take 10, give 4 to the in-laws and keep 6.. 😎🤙🏽🎣

I’ve only been on party boat fishing and they usually recommend 6-10oz sinkers even if we are fishing in shallow waters, so I’m confused... what is the rule in rod, test line, and sinkers? Can I use light tackle? How do they have to pair up? (Sinker vs line vs rod vs reel). I e heard you say something about having 15lbs line for 1oz jigs... why?

Nice video. Do you ever take your subcribers fishing?

Man I would love to have two of those baked in the oven with some potato slices, onions, lemons and tomatoes.

Off Jessup's?

Hi John does this bay produce blackfish as well? I have only fished there for porgies. thanks

Where do u fish ? Ik that ur from Long Island. Cause in oyster bay theres not that many thx john

Hello John, as always you have great videos. I have a question about this boat. I do know you had to let it go and get crushed due to rot and rust holes, but my question is how was this boat converted into a semi-fiberglass boat with a center console. I have a 14ft aluminum boat and I'm thinking about how to take out the middle row and adding a center console without altering the structure integrity of the boat. Is this possible and do you have a shop you can recommend I go and talk to about doing such. Thanks

do u ever fish for winter flounder?

Mr Skinner how are you? My name is Craig, and I was looking at your video about porgy fishing, I'm from Springfield Massachusetts and I'd like to know how would I be able to get corgis here in in Asheville North Carolina. That's one of my favorite fish to eat. Next to a croaker

wwwait peconic that’s we’re i fish

i was 1k likes😛😁😁😁😁😁😁

John what kind of Jacket is that you are wearing?

you call them porgies in europe is known as sea bream

DID HE SAY WEGO BAIT WITH STEVE???

Good evening John I would like place to fish porgy form the surf if you can I will really be really thankful for you help will like to take the family for some fun thanks for your help

Are the porgies still around rn near shore?

What are you using for a bait?

I realize this video is 4years old, i was curious why you weren't bleeding the porgies?? Such a great table fair.

Nice simple video. Too many ppl making fishing cinema style videos.

I think porgy is a very underrated fish, love making tacos with it

Can you be my friend?
