Pretty cool fright colours on the skippy and a very nice one off the beach as well!  Certainly looks as if they work!

Surf poppers work a treat

I caught my 61cm tailor on a home made Gumnut popper at Kalbarri recently.
I can't wait to salmon season.

They sure do.....

I can vouch for that. Try using them when the Salmon come on the bite. Same if Tailor get into a frenzy (and Skippy from the great photo above). I took Colin Hay's advice and made some up with a lot of help from my Missus. A lot of fun.

Thats an awesome sized skippy. Must have fought hard. Even better bonus getting them on a surf popper.
