This past week proved to be a fair week as far as fishing goes. Nothing was red hot this past week at lake Skinner, but there were fish biting and several people found them. Fishing was best by boat this past week. The shore action slowed, but with a trout stock coming up this next week, we look forward to the shore action picking back up. Trout were hitting near Ramp # 2, and several came in along the North Shore and the East End as well. Striper still hitting anchovies back in the arms, but chicken liver has been a good bait if you are trying out the Inlet. Bass fishing has improved this past week as well. Bass coming in along the South Shore, East End and the North Shore. Drop shot dark plastics have been working the best. Good luck fishing and happy tails.

Rate the action based over the past week:
Bass ==> Fair
Bluegill ==> Fair
Carp ==> Poor
Catfish ==> Fair
Crappie ==> Poor
Striper ==> Good
Trout ==> Good
