It will stay on the hook longer with skin attached and you can usually catch multiple fish per piece of bait. The fish are deep right now and any decent electronics can help you find the concentrations of fish. Anchoring or using spot lock if you have it at those spots and vertical jigging with the tubes usually can put a lot of slot cutts in the boat. If you are wanting to keep fish, the rainbows are usually shallower. Sounds like you figured the bows out. Any size to them?
Your statement of "It will stay on the hook longer with skin attached and you can usually catch multiple fish per piece of bait." I find to be true also.
The other thing that I find is that I loose most all the meat on the first fish. I then continue to fish with the skin and do just as well. When freshening bait I leave the prior skin and after another fish I have doubled the scent with skin.
Anybody else loose meat this fast?
