Skippy spots out of Hillaries

 Hi guys.

I haven't been up this way for very long.  I have a 4.5 metre dinghy and have found spots for herring anf whiting and have caught the odd skippy, but was hoping to target the species in the next week or so.  Without giving secret spots away, could someone give me a general idea of where to go to catch a feed.  I went to a spot off Scarbs the other weekend.  It was about 2-3 miles out and showed some promise.  I was mobbed by wrasse, so shifted and got onto some nice sand whiting.  Any help regards skippy will be appreciated.

Cheers

Baz

Heaps or burley! Stick a hook through the first one and send him out under a balloon, especially on the 3mile/ffb!

 Any shallow water reef 2 to 4 meters just as the sun goes down then two hours after. I find out off mindarie spots that are plagued with wrasse and blowies during the day go off at night when those fish go to sleep and the skippy and tailor move in.
