A friend of mine said he was at Skinner on Tuesday bait fishing at the buoy line. He said there was a boat with three guys in it doing the same. The only difference was they were catching fish and he wasn't. He said he noticed the gulls were diving and picking bait of the service around this particular boat. This tells me they were obviously chumming. I would like to think they didn't know it was illegal to chum in fresh water in California.
They were lucky, because the DFG was just there the day before.
If anyone cares to help stop the illegal taking of fish at Skinner or any other lake, please text or call the DFG at 1-800-292-7800.
