John Skinner’s videos on YouTube have been viewed nearly 40 million times, and the reason why is pretty simple. John is authentic, smart, informative and very good at explaining the various tactics, gear and techniques he uses to catch striped bass, fluke, snook, tarpon, blackfish and more. In this conversation, we ask John about his background as an engineer and how it has helped him become a better angler. John also shares information on fishing from kayaks, the game fish he chases and what he has planned for his upcoming videos. John has been featured in the pages of Anglers Journal in a story titled “The Bucktail Believer.”

His YouTube channel is simply called John Skinner Fishing and it’s a great follow.
