Breambucket Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Hey guys! Everyone must know by now that i nearly always fish botany bay Fridays after work so like normally i headed out with a few mates It was very slow going to start off with but after a hour or so the bight really started to come on! I have been using 2lb leader alot recently but today wasnt so great. i lost a nice flattie at the boat maybe around 70cm and a couple of bream that i never did see but you sort of know they were of decent size so it was Fish 3/Pete 0. Moved a couple of times and got a solid hit then this thing went spastic! i called it for a big trev but it kept on making big runs and i even had a decent amount of drag even with the 2lb so i was a little worried about loosing another one. finally i actually seen what the fish was and i was dancing like a fool lol ..... My pb whiting and i think a raider lure record that went 46cm and as fat as my arm! i couldn't believe how it thought and the runs that it took! Its deffently in my top 3 fish that i ever have caught especially after loosing the previous fish i had on in the day Heres a couple of pics All fish caught and lost were on Berkley 3 inch minnows in watermellon pearl 1/16th jig heads 2lb leader and 3lb main line Cheers guys Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankie machine Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 That's a cracker. I got a 43cm whiting in the bay last year, which was easily the best I've ever caught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brendong Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Mate what a cracker that's a jumbo whiting and I would have been doing cartwheels too...I'm amazed how golden they go on the nose.....as opposed to a blue nose bream, lets call'em Gold Noses!!!

pmak Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Whoa monster whiting you've got there. Have pulled a similar sized one before in Kogarah Bay which I thought was a small jewie! I have a feeling you might have been busted off by tailor or snook. Have had it happen to me before - good fight and then line goes limp! Both tailor and snook love flickbaits. It was definitely you I saw a couple of weekends back off Kurnell - recognise the flash Skeeter top. Was making a beeline back to the ramp when conditions got a bit choppy. Will definitely stop for a chat next time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do look great dont they! Thats the first thing i seen in the water then its bright yellow fins confirmed what it was Im sort of spewin i didnt release him or her back into the water but the old man loves whiting and we used to catch big ones off the beach at South West Rocks when i was a kid so it sort of brought back memory's Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
