Lake Skinner-03/29/09

[CASTAWAY]

Tried again to see if I could get the Stripers to bite. Got there around 5:30am. Lots of cars in front of me already. First stop was the lake store
to pick up so Sardines....

Then back to the south end of the lake.

Lots of people at ramp 2. I didn't see anyone on fish. Wait, maybe one person...

I soak bait for about an hour before I decide to work the shore with my trout spinner. Couldn't get anything to hit it but I did see a 8lber lmb
cruisin real close to shore in this cove...

Nice day out, wish there was fish though. Did get a few bites but no takers. Left around noon with the stripe on my back. I'm going to target a different species this time, at a different lake. I have to catch something this weekend or I will burst like a bubble....lol.....:Smile:
Til' next time.....

Casty, Skinner is a tuff lake to fish from shore or boat. At least you went out and tried your best. You will get them ( Striper ) next time. Thanks for the report and nice pics.:Smile:
