Lake Skinner Produces Mixed Bag
Mixed-bag action at Skinner; bass starting to move shallow
Bradley SchweitPublished: Feb 13, 2013
There was a little bit of everything on tap this past week at Lake Skinner, and while action for no single species could be described as “excellent,” or “wide open,” there were respectable numbers of fish caught.

RUSS NIEVAR of San Jacinto bagged this 22-pound striper while chucking a Huddleston swimbait at Lake Skinner’s north shore this past week.
“There was finally a break in the action with the bass,” said Lake Skinner Manager, Candy Grajczyk. “They are moving up into the shallows up against the reeds. They are very fat and slow, but are showing some interest in jerkbaits, swimbaits, crankbaits, Senkos and Roboworms. We saw fish of 9, 7.4 and 7 pounds this past week.
“Trout limits were caught all week long with nightcrawlers and PowerBait,” Grajczyk continued. “All colors were working well, especially garlic flavored.” Other effective offerings included Power Trout Worms in brown, orange and red; white Mice Tails and minijigs. Kastmasters, Super Dupers, Panther Martins and Rooster Tails also produced. (Side note: the lures and spinners have been working especially well immediately after a trout plant. Target the area around Ramp 2, as within a week or so, the fish will have scattered throughout the lake.) The next trout plant is lsated for this Friday, Feb. 15.
Herman Jerval of Winchester landed a pair of trout to 2 pounds soaking garlic nightcrawlers at Ramp 2.
With water temps. slowly on the rise, Grajczyk feels it will only be a matter of time before the lake’s stripers ascend from the depths. For now, however, “it is deep-water action only,” she said, “with A-rigs or spoons on downriggers.”
There was a hefty 22-pound striper caught this past week by Russ Nievar of San Jacinto. He was chucking a Huddleston swimbait along the north shore when he connected with the beaut’.
A few bluegill continue to come out of 70 feet of water for those targeting the panfish with crickets. The catfish have also been deep, but none of the whiskerfish showed this past week.
HEY ROCK!!!!!
