My dad and I Went to Skinner on Sunday. Downpourned pretty much all day but I had my military poncho and some beer so I was good. There were about 5 boats in the early morning but only me and 1 other after 11. Trolled 4 polls in 5 foot increments from 10 feet to 30. Used leadcore, snapwweights, and deep running cranks. Trolled some taildancers, umbrella rigs, z-plugs, rattle trapps, flys, and bucktails for nada all day. There was no water coming in and no bites soaking the choves from the inlet. Caught 1 striper drifting choves in 30' and one catfish in 30'. Saw only a few striper heads at the cleaning station confirming not much going on right now. Only picked up one baitfish ball as well on my Hummingbird 700 series. Either Im getting worse at fishing or Mr. Stripey took a vacation because 2 years ago I had 30 fish days there using these same techniques. And where have all the boils and birds been??? I just hope our Southern Californian waters are being preserved.
