  1. Just picked up my first skinner rod this week with the Tsunami you suggested. Excited to take it out next season. Love how light everything feels.

  2. if i was with john and we were fishing i doubt i would even fish i love watching him so much and his technique

  3. I wasn't surprised you caught the better fish on the other side, my thinking is your bait is away from all the small fish that are gathered with the most amount of bait allowing the bigger fish a chance at getting your bait

  4. Happy the weather was great for you to stay and make new videos John tell Bob I said hi and Enjoy the warmer weather down south

  5. I have both your jig & bounce casting rods, love them so much I want to be buried with them ! Question, why doesn’t the heavier one have a tacky fore grip like the light one ? Safe travels, watch out for the sharks and gators. Thanks.

  6. Those crabs look like our European green crabs . We tend to only use them when they are shedding their shells ..ie the soft parts. We tend to only used the hard crabs for ballen wrasse . This is making me rethink this . These crabs are so easily available.

  7. Hello Mr Skinner just a question do you have any books that you're making that you're writing about Blackfish I mean I know everything you know I know about the black fish and what to use what not I just want to know if you wrote a book about the Blackfish and how do I go by getting it because the only thing I got is a debit card I don't have that power card or whatever just a debit thank you if you can help me

  8. 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 😂😆😂

  9. Can you legally sell your catch? I suppose you wont keep all of them to yourself: there's just way too many!
    UPD: ok, you got the limit and from there you release.

  10. That's what I would call a SPECTACULAR Day! I won't tell anybody that I saw you putting MAGIC DUST in your crab bucket. All that experience is just a side effect on having it! LOL Feast at Skinner's house I bet! I haz a jealousy! The Vietnamese make a nice soup with the heads and collars. Sounds interesting to me! How did you cook yours? (I'm a foodie, so I want your secrets!) LOL Thanks for sharing and showing if you're out there enough, you'll get GIFT days like this every now and then! And I'm going to copy your technique to the letter next time I'm out! Probably April!

  11. You were talking about a 2500 reel that you liked better than the Penn Slammers? If I were to buy a new reel, I like the Slammers value, but maybe I need to look deeper. I couldn't make out which you said. (Vicks or Vix?) Please share that again! Thanks!
