Although the beginning of the week started out rather slow, with few fish to speak of, the later half of the week picked back up for most of the fishermen. Striper have been the main draw here at the lake for the past few weeks, and they continue to be the most active fish on the lake. Morning hours are the best, and the bigger fish are still coming in off of artificial lures and most of that being top water. Shore side action picked up for the striper as well as the points near Ramp #2 produced a few striper in the 5 pound range. Ramp#2 area and Inlet remain the best chance for the monster striper. Smaller schoolies can be picked up in the East End, Inlet and Ramp #2 area using chicken liver and cut anchovies. Trout still hitting well at Ramp #2. Trout are hitting blown up night crawlers, powerbait, salmon eggs and troutmallows. Catfish also still hitting well in the deeper waters along the South Shore and the Dam and Inlet. Chicken liver and cut mackerel still king for these cats. Bass action continues to be fair with several small bass near the shoreline with 3-4 pounders making up most of the other bass action. East End and South Shore remain the best location for bass fishing.

These are the following fish ratings:

Bass: Good
Bluegill: Fair
Carp: Fair
Catfish: Good
Crappie: Poor
Striper: Excellent
Trout: Excellent

Finally the trout season has begun at Lake Skinner. Trout were the main attraction at Lake Skinner since we got our first stock of 1500 lbs on the 12th and we are looking forward to our next stock later this coming week. Trout were hitting mostly near Ramp #2 off of power bait, spoons, spinner baits, night crawlers and troutmallows. While the trout may have been the big attraction, they were by no means the biggest news....... Read More
