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.
I find mooneye alittle deeper than skips it seems and they live alittle longer in a tank than skips. And WOW 500#'s in two day's you guy's were on fire. Fantastic. We need to hook up sometime and do alittle pleasure fishing...like to meet you. Chuck
