Bait /lure: 4 inch FISHTRAP swimbait pearl/white with a 1/2 ounce white or red leadhead
Total time on the water: 4 hours
Time: 6am-10am
Total catch: 3 guys caught 7 fish. 5 were schoolies, 1 that push 3lbs, and Mark's DD.
Location: Lake Skinner
The bite has slow down a lot compare to 2 weeks ago. It's really cold in the morning, so dress accordingly. The bait and fish seems to be scattered. Thanks for reading and goodluck out there on your next fishing adventure, Pokerface.

no bluffing on this report pokerface!!!Very nice!!! are you guys casting those into the boils, blindcasting, or dragging that FT. You guys seemed to be dialed in. I haven't been there yet. I might go solo on wed. weather reports are Good. I would have gone today but i have been arguing with the wife and not feeling up to it. Great job, hope you can play poker as good as you fish.LOL!! NICE ONE

Coolpics! on the stripes, that fish trap kind of resembles a spawned out squid too. Great baits for calicos, sandies, and almost everything else in the salt. I was pretty suprised the first time I ate stripers, good eating! So may I suggest keep catching and keep eating!

Some guys like the big hammer, but I'm a Fishtrap guy all the way.

Nice DD!

Congrats on a fine catch.
It's been a while since I've caught a DD. Guys like KPN and Mark make it look to easy.

The boils were far in between, so we were mostly blind casting. Good luck out there on Wednesday if you go.

Nice catch!! looks like I will be out there tomorrow bright and early hope the bite is still on, anyone know if the bait and wait is on.
Most people are fishing with shad or using the artificial. I heard the bait bite is better at the other lakes up north.

gorgeous! congratulations!

You better hit it up soon, the shad are dispersing and so are the fish that eat them.

[RamboBoy]

Good job poker

5" or 6" swimbait lure big bait big fish it's fact, lol Way to go, man!

Eddie fish taco's theory small bait big fish sizes 3" or 4" lure

That's why i am doing my homework study the fishing techniques and tacticals.

[TroutOnly]

Ramboboy the 3 to 4 inch theory is because thats the size of most adult thredfin shad the main diet most of the time,,,,,,,,,,,,pearl white,,,,,,,,
