How would one determine whether or not to rig a skirted teaser on the top loop of a bucktail rig? Is it dependent on depth or bait profile, or something else? Does one start with the skirted teaser and slim down if there are no hits, or the other way around? What would be the strategy on a half day party boat trip, max depth 80 feet or so?

It amazes me the lack of respect for the water, and the risks people take to get a fish.

You can't make excuses for someone being careless and an idiot. Smh.

Great job again John. Thanks for sharing

Skinner the best....

All I’m gonna say is that’s a normal for flounder fishing down here off of Delaware and ocean city, 8-12oz sinkers, flounder love that current!

Off topic question John, just wondering if you have ever/if not have the urge to go tuna fishing or any of the other species offshore. Or even sharking, just curious about your takes on that

Amazing nice video 🎉

what do you think of circle hooks john?

Where are these spots?😊

Where was this?

Fluke are doing terrible in general in the last 4,5 years. Overfishing and keeping large females has caught up

Great viedo

Why didn’t u Use the trolling motor to slow the drift ?

Nice to see Montauk is gonna start to heat up! great looking rig you guys were on.

Kick his ass Seabass!

Nice work John! We were out there as well and noticed the same 'silted' up look of the Ocean and also had better success in the clearer waters (Cartright).. We were a bit more Sea Bass focused and limited on them, but shifted to Fluke and only ended with four keepers to 22". With the cooler water thought we might even bump into a Cod...no luck. Definitely a beautiful day on the water. On a side note, we never caught a single Porgy all day...strange when a few of the guys fishing with me were using squid and peanut bunker most of the day. First day I can ever remember at Montauk without a single Porgy harassing us.

What was the size of the big one you caught ?

Skinner with the doobiest Ricksett

The wind this year is terrible, every day it’s borderline too windy to go, conditions are terrible

Do you lose a lot of fluke if you don't use a net?

John long time follower … been tying my own bucktails, having difficulty finding natural hair. What’s your opinion on synthetic hair on a bucktail? Tying bucktails ranging from 3 to 6 ounces. Thanks Tom

Hey Skinnee- Noticed on the boat the new engines have a orange piece on the connector for flushing? Is that something aftermarket he put on to make it easier? Or is that a new thing Yamaha did? We have outboards of the new versions from 6 months ago and we have triples so it’s difficult to get a hose connected on the inside one and not loose the gasket? If you could shed some light I’d appreciate it!

Nice fish

John, have you tried fluke spoons for those high-speed drift conditions? They work quite well.

Fishing like this is very fun.

These regulations are terrible 😢

Dont throw those ling back great eating fish fried fresh they are fantastic actually like them better then fluke have done trips to the west specifically for them👍

What’s the water temperature? Here in Jersey the constant south wind has us in mid/upper 50’s to low/mid sixties depending on the tide…. Putting keepers in the cooler to warm up!

Idk why im still shocked, because you do it all the time but, when you set the hook and immediately call out 2 big searobins or 2 small bsb or upside-down porgy hooked in the asshole.... its crazy how quick you identify exactly whats on the line.

Good to see them elsewhere besides Long Island sound lol, I was out surf fishing Saturday morning looking for bass on the south shore, went biteless 130am to about 6 and by than the sun was well up so I switched to fluke fishing and 20 mins later got my pb from the surf at 25.5” and 6.6 lbs , I kept fishing for another hour and a half but the wind started picking up quick and just killed all the current I had so I finally threw in the towel, a lot of hours for one bite but at least it was a decent fish when that one bit came lol

I have an 87” Terrova (manual deploy) on the bow of my Parker. One day I’ll be taking a swim… the southerly winds are killing us here in Jersey too. Water in mid 50s surface temp.

Year of the wind. Never saw wind like this almost everyday it seems.

Hi John. How deep is the water?

wish we had it like this in NJ right now 😂

How do you cook your catch?

hi john, how do you decide your color gulp when fishing in the ocean for fluke? any certain specifics?

Another excellent video. Perhaps, during a doldrum period, you could describe the differences, if any, of inshore versus offshore fluke fishing.

Hi, John, excellent content as always. Any similarity on sonar - did you see bait balls of sand eels similar to LI?

You looked like you were ready for a night out on the town in the intro lol. Not a bad look.

Appreciate all of your videos and the endless knowledge you share 🙌🏼 The world is a better place for it! Thanks John 💪🏼💪🏼 If you’re reading this, hope you have a wonderful day! Stay adventurous my friends 😎

Great video, did the current play a role in knowing how big the fish was and what kind of?

Your content is like a fresh breeze in the world of RUclips. Simply magnificent!💞 + 😜'

With each new video, you manage to surpass yourself. It's truly impressive!👌 ; 🚁.

Your fund of knowledge as to tides, currents, and wind is almost paralleled by your ability to catch fish and your soft-spoken talent for teaching others how they might catch fish. Thank you.

Need a traffic cop out there with all those boats... lol

I just bought Otter Tail to try for striped bass here in canada (east coast) was wondering can i cut all them strip in half and keep them in the jar for like 2-4 years? (I usually only go striped bass fishing once or twice if i have the time per year) Or do you just recommend cutting them on the spot when using it? (I carry a long enough scissor to cut em easily on the spot too)

Been using a combination of Buoyweather, windy, and the NOAA forecast for kayak fishing for a couple years now. Generally ere on the conservative side, but like you said also depends on wind combined with tide direction to make the best choice.

I'd love to see an old-school, side by side, underwater, comparison of salt strong products (mossy mullett, slam shady) and gulp. Kind of like you've done in the past with squid strips and spearing
