Heading up to Skinner tomorrow for 4 days and want to put the boys on some stripers, any tips would be appreciated as we will be on a pontoon boat.

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.
You can't catch them from your computer chair.

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 to Skinner, but on other lakes, flylining whole anchovies can work great once you find them.  River/creek inlets can be good.
