Ok i went and got some tackle and some bits and bobs, off i went looking for that monster bite.

I ended up at Quinns fishing off one of the man made rocky out crops, i fished to the side not the point has i wanted to fish across the in coming waves spinning my bait.

It was slow at first, but after about 20 minutes i started getting little tugs on my line, i noticed lots of seagull activity over head so that was a god sign of smaller fish in my location, i see it as smaller fish must mean bigger somewhere.

The first fish i caught was a whiting about 15cm long and of a good solid weight, about half a kilo.I was chuffed - so was these two young blokes fishing the otherside of point, one shouted over thats a specimen mate, what bait you using?

The second i have no idea to what it is, the two blokes had no idea either? I have looked on a couple of those specimen charts for western Australia on the net and all i can come up with that looked anything close to what i caught is the banded sweep fish, the only real difference is that my fish had no dark stripes just pure silver in colour with black tips to all fins and tail edges, it was a very pretty fish (none gay way) about the size of a medium dinner plate, and weighing around half a kilo.

Hope some one can help me sort this out, and next time i will be taking a camera or my phone atleast.

Oh and the bait i used...bread, bread molded around my red hook leaving the point showing and cast has far as i could cast it across the waves,  then retreaved fast and slow, a bit like spinning i suppose.
