What are the limitations to jig fishing for blackfish? Is it strictly current? I've seen Todd mention he's done it in hundreds of feet of depth. I ask because I want to take a NJ party boat trip and I'm wondering if the jig is worth trying on such a trip, or if I should just stick with the rig?

@JohnSkinnerFishing 8 ай бұрын

It's a combination of depth and current. If you can't stay down with 1.5 ounces and 15 braid than I'd use a regular rig.

@mulletoutdooradventures6286 8 ай бұрын

If I keep watching these videos I'm going to have to start doing some inshore fishing. I think I would get a kick out of catching blackfish on light tackle. I got a couple small mouth outfits with 10 and 15lb on light spinning rods. I just switched over to all lithium batteries and next is spot lock. I've noticed people get really butt hurt when I try to anchor on structure anymore. I can't count how many times I get cursed out every year wreck fishing. If you want to fish the structure you should get there 1st 😂😆😂

Another great video. Question though....when you cut the legs off the crabs why do you do it over the bucket and not just let the legs fall over the side.

@Dan12077 8 ай бұрын

It's because in one of his underwater videos, you could see the frenzy of smaller fish that it created. All the cut legs attracted porgies, seabass, bergalls, and smaller tog...all fighting for the "scraps". So when your jig gets down there with ur bait, they clean you off before the bigger 'togs can move in.

@JohnSkinnerFishing 8 ай бұрын

I'm glad you like the rods! The heavier rod was the first one, and I was focused on the jigging hand slipping near the reel. The fore-grip isn't a slipping risk, but I agree I like the sticky grip up there on that lighter rod a lot.

Do you prefer spinning reels over casting reels for sheep and togs? And why?

@travisalexphoto 8 ай бұрын

I know you are hoping for Skinners response, but I'll offer my 2 cents. I've sold off all my casting reels for various reasons to how I like to fish. Take my opinion for what it is. 1. Spinning reels are better for more situations. 2. More control and better feel for the fight on spinning reels. Better drag control, etc. 3. More feel for the sensitivity to the bottom and for fish bites. 4. I like the action and grip on the spinning rod more so than casting. 5. A more fun fight. Again, take it for what it is, but I use spinning rod for trolling, jigging, surf casting, river fishing, and I've never felt like I was at a loss not having a casting over a spinning.

@JohnSkinnerFishing 8 ай бұрын

I just feel I can move fish off the structure faster with spinning, and a spinning rod/reel sits better in my hand for feeling the bites. FWIW, I have not fished with anyone who uses a casting reel for tog jigging.
