Good day with Whitey today.
Got up this morning early at 12:30am, on the road by 1:15am.
Cousin booked a charter with Whitey out of Jurien so it was going to be a long day.
After some shennanigans with the rest of the blokes coming out we were finally on the water heading out to some ground. First stop was to get some livies. After getting a few on board Whitey said it was time to troll for some mackies.
Well the bite was hot. They were jumping everywhere out of the water attacking the lures. The result was all 5 lines going off all at once, only 1 got off and 4 were landed. 10 mackies were landed in around an hour so it was time for some bottom bashing.
Well the first 2 drops resulted in 2 Dhus for me First one being around 8-9kg (est) and the second being 10kg (weighed) as well as my cousin getting about a 5kg pinkie all on jig. Well it was an awesome start to the morning.
It slowed a little after that with the end result being 5 Dhus, 4 Pinkies, 2 Baldies, a Goat Fish, a Black Bum and the 10 Mackies.
Big thanks to Whitey for an awesome day out!!!

Wowee
C'mon guys, how that wasn't seen as sarcastic I don't know. Whitey kills it! If the smiley face at the end of the post isn't a dead give away the "Shit yeeea" should be.
Have to book me a trip with him soon.
Cheers

Worth the Drive
Worth the drive north I reckon. That's a charter boat worth going on. Whitey certainly seems to have more 'productive' days than not.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.

Thanks guys. Its the only charter I will go on now. Been out of perth and mandurah so many times now for little or no reward, although I havent tried jigging a perth charter yet. But definately worth the drive.
