Skinner is hot right now, with a ton of good action for both bass and catfish. Bass guys are running a variety of baits along the Tule line landing both quantity and quality, with 3-4 pounders not being uncommon. Senkos, dropshots, and T-rigged creature baits rigged weedless are all working tossed as close to cover as possible. The topwater bite has been very good as well in the morning off points and rocky areas on walking baits. A few giant stripers were caught last week this way near the dam too.

The catfish bite is probably the most consistent all around on mackerel, livers, and garlic shrimp. Evening is best, although there's been plenty of midday action.
