Fish Report for 11-19-2013

Fishing at Lake Skinner is fair to good right now

Lake Skinner Marina Staff

The water temperature is 65-66 degrees and fall turn-over conditions allow the fish to go deeper where many will remain for winter.

Bluegill: No significant action reported.

Catfish: Some action on cut bait, chicken liver or anchovies. Gulp bait by Berkeley has also worked in the channel flow or off of the points. Catfish like to bunch up in the Fall/Winter months. Don't forget to fish deep.

Striped Bass: Fair action with a small number of boils only in the early morning or at sunset. The shad are deep right now. Go with either umbrella rigs, shad, Sibiki rigs or crank baits fished at 5 to 10 ft. Your best bet is to troll the entire main channel in the middle of the lake and north of Ramp 2.

Largemouth: Not much action, your best bet is an early morning bite for the bigger bass. They are starting to to get active so you can use a bigger fast moving lure, crank baits, spinner baits and jugs. Late afternoon/evenings will find only smaller bass who are biting flipping jigs or plastics fished just outside of the week links. Crawdads ay also work for the bass.

Trout: No action yet as no trout have been planted.

Carp: Slow action. Big Carp are easy to catch and are a lot of fun. Use your favorite Carp dough baits a;long the banks or under heavy cover.
