The second one is rather vulgar and means to go out and use the services of prostitutes.
With the first one I'd need more context.

A narrow bit of water is most likely a river or a stream.

Hitting on somes skanks just means that your flirting with women. You won't get very far if you call a woman a skank. It's a pejorative and similar to calling a woman a slut.
