I will answer 2 questions. Yes skins are used. The best fisherman I ever met and know,, D.C. are his initials, still fishes them all the time. He is in his 70's and has been doing it for many moons. He has lent me his molds when he goes south for the winter and I have enough made up for 2 lifetimes although I have not used one in a few years.
Second I think we have discussed the strong SW wind before. It is my theory that the fishing is not good when the SW blows over 15. I have documented this in my tide charts for 20 years and always ask others if they find the same conditions. I am talking about top water action and daybreak tides as that is what I usually fish. I am at the point if the wind is going to blow from the SW I stay in bed. I have been burned too many times. I don't live down the street.
