When to start catching the skippies?

Where and when do you want to start looking at catching skips?

I'd say below the dam they'll start showing up mid to late march? obviously from a boat some guys like Spur have been hitting them at the right times it sounds like.

For the bank guys, I'd say april is when you can first really start getting them easily from the bank. I'm still kind of new to the area though so the more experienced might have different opinions.

Didn't think about the boat issue. Heath do you have one now? They can be caught below the dams right now, but are VERY tough.

im with sam and I have no trouble getting enough bait while they are in season (last year it started towards the middle of april). IF you need a few send me a pm we might can meet up and get you some. I still have a few bags that I could share.

Still no boat, but I am looking for my income taxes to boost that fund considerably. I don't need any right now but I was just wondering when and where, THANKS!!!

Depending on how warm March is/isn't April you'll start finding skips at the dam. They should be hot and heavy by May though.
