Fishing has been up and down this past week at Skinner. Overall fishing is good with some numbers of stripers, bass, catfish and bluegill being reported. Stripers are hitting best near the dam buoy line off chicken liver and anchovies. Catfish are hitting there as well along the South Shore and the East End. Mackerel and chicken liver have been the best bait for the cats, however anchovies have also been working. Bass are hit and miss but are hitting best along the South Shore and the East End. Dark plastics have been the best, but some early morning top water action has been reported along the South Shore. Bluegill are moving back into the coves and are hitting meal worms and blown up worms off the bottom.

Good Luck Fishing and Happy Trails
