Hillarys skippy
Submitted by tommo77 on Fri, 2008-07-25 12:45
Went down to Hillarys for a fish yesterday at my little 'secret spot' and i chucked a mulie in just in front of me as i saw some monster skippy or buff bream just guarding their territory as they were swimming backwards and forwards between rocks, just as i was swaying it around for the blowies to chase they got scared off and suddenly a massive school of skippy came out from the water ranging in sizes from about 10cm to 20cm there must of been hundreds of them ... skippy populations are in good numbers there.
Has anyone had any luck there lately? I had no luck there yesterday on a weighted mulie besides one hit ...

I was fishing just out past little island the other week and they were in plague numbers out there, most were about 25-30cms and ate just about everything put down, sp's, mulies and squid.

hillarys
some bloke was fishing for crays the other day inside the marina, i was talking to him for a bit and he said he usually catches 2-3, stabs them in the head when they come up to take his bait ...
