One of those days - a few whiting made up for it

[Yowie]

Headed out early up from Lilli Pilli, to a spot where I pulled out a few fish 2 weeks ago. Well, someone must have told the fish to disappear, as they were not about today.

Only 1 decent fish, that put up a performance for a while, coming up under the boat as it was giving up, then gone. The ganged hooks gone, no fray marks on the mono but a clean cut angled across the line. Felt like a legal sized jew, just a bit strange with the cut to the line.

Apart from 2 rat sized kingies swimming up after hooked little reddies, nothing else. Live yakkas not touched. Just a dud day.

The tide hit bottom, so I pumped a few nippers and drifted about for a legal whiting, a little sand flattie, and nothing else. A few whiting to be seen, but if you can see the whiting, they can see you and will not bite.

Headed to Maianbar flats, pumped a few more nippers and found a few whiting, and a just legal bream that was sent back to grow bigger. Water less then knee deep. A few thrown backs amongst them, but some keepers as well. A long day but something to take home. Do not like going home with no fish.

Although not what you wanted, they are some nice whiting and will be beautiful on the plate.

Well done,

Daniel.

We had some fillets last night, very tasty, and some more for another night. Not what I was originally heading out to catch, but no complaints about catching whiting.

Nothing wrong with a few whiting yowie! 

[Reel' em in]

Mate that a nice catch you have there, I'd be more then happy with that.

[Yowie]

Nothing wrong with whiting at all.
