SMn Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 (edited) The whiting have been firing the last few days off the beach. Needed to test out my Alvey 555te light rod matched to my 625b reel. What a top combo these have turned out to be! Started off with 2 small dart and undersized whiting before it really picked up! Used fresh beach worms and almost as every cast hit the water I was reeling back in with a fish on. The guy next to me (thanks for the worms Bryce!) Was absolutely smashing it! Threw back a few smaller ones, biggest went 39cm, very happy! Hope you all have a great weekend! Edited the size the plastic ruler I used had snapped the 1st couple of centimeters off, didn't realise till this morning, anyway still stoked!

Too true I have been chasing the little fellas of late, loads of whiting and the odd flaty around. It is a lot more productive than chasing the big boys sometimes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMn Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) awesome catch mate! how big was the rod you were using? I was using a 10'6 Alvey 555TE telescopic rod, 3-5kg light surf/estuary rod... usually I use a big old butterworth or 2 piece 14' and 13'6 rods. This rod performed much better for this species hahaha. Edited December 7, 2013 by SMn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
