Had a slow start to the day, and it wasnt until 1.30pm or so before I got on the water.

I decided to do a few drifts fishing a squid jig on 1 rod and a variety of plastics and natural baits on the other.

I have been experimenting with some different plastics and first drop I hooked up. It was only some type of parrot but off to a flying start.

Now, forgive me for thinking that the squid jig bobbing up and down in the rod holder would catch the cuttlefish. No someone forgot to tell the one that ate my soft plastic lure a short time after.

I came across a good sounding and had a go at anchoring and berleying seeing as they wernt responding to drifting, but nothing really happened except for another nice size cuttley that went about 5 or so kilos.

Pulled the pick and did a few more drifts for 5 nice sized squid and the usual wrasse.

Have been getting a heap of skippy at a spot near by so I went to have a look and no suprises, had a mountain of em on it.

Starting the drift a way off em I would fish a bait until they showed and do the switch to a light bream stik and small jig. Awesome fun!! Kept 4 and released a heap more.

I was on about the 3rd drift and nearly on skippy hill when the bait I was fishing got clobbered hard. A nice run and some headshaking and I was starting to think I had hooked a 1/2 decient pinkie or something.

After a great tug o war I caught a bit of colour beside the boat and I nearly tripped over. A nice KGW slid into view, "fark, the net, wheres the net? Im gonna loose it!!!the net, shit i aint lifting it in."

I finally got the net under it and stoked is an understatement. 55cm of plump whiting and a new personal best!!! you ripper!!

I backed the boat in at 7.30pm so all in all a nice little arvo sesh out of Bunbury.
