The Lake Skinner website has similar language as DVL. Do they really allow PA's on the water? If so, I'll be getting my striper gear together!

"-Kayaks must be at least 10 feet long, non-bailing, and with seating for all passengers inside the boat. Sit-on-top kayaks are not allowed."

I was assured at my time of purchase. That the PA was allowed at Skinner. That they have used them there. It qualifies as a boat not a kayak. I have not had a chance to prove it. I am going solely on what I was told at Nomad Adventures when I purchased it.

No but the line through 3d trout looks like a hell of a bait. Have you tried it?

Hobie does list the PA in its boat section.

I've heard skinner allows the PA but not DVL. I was told that DVL has the strictest policies. They want no body contact with the water whatsoever and consider anything with scuppers as being high risk for physical contact.

I got the Slow sink and mod sink of the SavGear line thru and pretty good action but at a slow roll does not really have any action to speak off takes a decent speed to get the good action. However a slow 2mph troll and this bait kicks great I am sure it will be a great bass bait, time will tell, Ive only had about an hour with it on the water so far. Next weeks looks like I will be able to put some real effort into tossing it for a couple hours.

That's awesome, I'm excited! I've never been there before, but that's going to change by next weekend! I'm sure you'll be seeing more PA's there soon. Anyone else down to meet up at Skinner next weekend for a chance at some stripers? I'll also be getting my hudds and alabama rig ready.

Copy and past of this weeks Mathew Report below.

The striper bite at Lake Skinner continues to be really hot for anglers dip-netting some live shad for bait. If you get the candy bait, you will be in the fish. The best bite has been in the east end and along the north shore. The afternoon bite has been good, but so has early morning. Lots of fish to four pounds with a few bigger fish each week. Umbrella and Sibiki rigs, small swimbaits, and trolled shad-like lures or white flies are the backup plan if you miss getting the shad. For an update on the bite, call the marina at 951-926-8515.
