[Late Report, trip was early November]
Got to fish Lake Skinner with two other FNN members (thanks, guys!). We rented a boat and spent some time fighting the wind before we could find a nice spot. Water was a little choppy and the anchor wasn't help much, so we stuck near the coves. There was a a lot of baitfish, baby bass, etc hiding amongst the reeds, got a few shots of them in the video. Didn't see any striper action, but saw a few anglers trolling for them. We tossed soft plastics, topwaters, crankbaits, swimbaits and more. Towards the end of the day, we found a really nice, protected cove with very calm water. Immediately started seeing big largemouth crusing the reed lines, some would follow our swimbaits back to the boat but wouldn't hit. We landed a few dinks on soft plastics, and got one chunky 2.5lb largemouth on a senko, near the reeds. Fun day, tough to try out a new lake, but still enjoyed it.
