You can attack skirmish lake in 2 different ways either by method feeder up against the island with micro pellts or groundbait for the carp. Or you can fish the pole with expanders to catch the skimmers, plus down the edge.
The best pegs are the gap in the island or opposite the rhodendron bush on the point, if you are pegged around the back of the island then you’ll be better off fishing a different lake as you’ll be wasting your time.
Not sure what the best baits are at this time of year for the lake as I normally only fish there during the winter
