this is primo bait for striper and catfish. Like jacks you usually have to angle for them as they readily escape a net and don't school as thick as gizzards. However, the posted link calls them freshwater tarpon which are what skip jack are usually referred as.
The Ohio river has both goldeye and mooneye and unless they are side by side you really can't tell the difference.
