A tale of 2 Skinners

[P.A.W.]

OK so I went out Wednesday and did pretty well. Got 8 Stripers from 2-3 pounds each. Got 2 on jerkbaits and the rest on topwaters. They all came early and when the wind came up around 8am it turned off. I heard that they were going to stock trout later that day but when the trout didn't come by noon I went home, looking forward to the following morning when the big stripers would be munching on 'bows.

Got there early today and hit the water still dark. Started trolling my big bait with a topwater ready just in case. Got 1 bump and that's it. Didn't see or meter any big fish. I called NFCD to be sure he saw the trout plant.... yup. So I high tailed it to the spot I did so well the day before. Nada. I then went back to the trout stock area and tried again.... nada. I then dropped the u-rig and did a turn around the lake. I found some bait deep and parked over it. Dropped a white jig and pumped it. Finally one on! It was a 6 pound Largemouth. Oh well, at least no skunk. Went home at 11:45 still wondering why the stripers weren't on the trout early...... Skinner

Talked to a bass guy (Fordman) and he was hitting some on top water and cranks.
