Get a smoker!
Best way to do skippy...any oily fish suits that sort of cooking. Well done and my guess is you'd probably see some bigger ones there as winter approaches! Did you get them on bait or lures? Soft plastics are a skippy killer!

Got a few of them on mulies and then switched over to Gulp soft plastic and still caught them. I was fishing in the same spot all morning for two hours and got nothing and then all of a sudden they rocked up. I was about to give up then Wack!
