The lazy way would be, Anchor up.  C-Rig with 10-12#, smaller egg sinker, size 2-2/0 hook, chunk of anchovie.  Cast out at points/structure/etc.  If no bites in 15 minutes, fresh bait and keep casting in new areas until you locate them.  Also catch catfish this way.  Live shiners in coves would be best.

Thanks for the tip, it's been a while since I have been on the water at Skinner, The Ass Rack was banned years ago !

 Never been. No help, but have a great time figuring it out.

Never been to Skinner, but on other lakes, flylining whole anchovies can work great once you find them.  River/creek inlets can be good.
