Not this time. I do skipper sometimes. It was a spot that I gave them a while back.

We don't target them, but often hope for a few as they are good eating. Off lakes you need to be from 45 to 60 MTRS to get many. Basically from the reef out to the oil rigs. Only worth fishing that area during summer, autumn when the gummies are about.
