John Skinner is a YouTube “celebrity” regarding fishing in Long Island Sound. He covers both fishing from boats and from the surf with a focus on Striped Bass and Fluke but covers many other areas. I often get jealous on watching his videos because he is always catching quality fish.

George is an authority on saltwater fishing. He has a TV show – The World of Saltwater Fishing – and holds a yearly fishing seminar. In February 2020, the seminar was held at the Trumbull Marriott in Connecticut along with 10 other locations. I attended the seminar this year (before Covid) and it was an interesting and informative session for saltwater fishing. There was a combination of local charter captains and national experts
who discussed many fishing relevant topics. There also were a lot of raffles and giveaways to keep things interesting.
