HAVING A BALL CATCHING BAIT
Sherbs and I took young Andrew down to a local marina chasing some whiting to add to Andrew’s growing bait collection for Exmouth.
We arrived just before sunset to find the waters where we were fishing were alive with bait fish.
It wasn’t long before that cagey tailor speciliast Sherbs was hooked up to the first of many chopper tailors using his favourite bluebait casting set-up.
Trying a different technique, Andrew and I eventually atracted some school whiting to our baits and we had a nice little session pulling in some ideal bait-sized fish.
I managed to land some bonus captures, with my whiting rig accounting for two small pinkies.
It was a fantastic night, with perfect weather conditions and heaps of action to keep us busy on the extra light gear we were using.
Some of the interesting events to occur during the evening were:
• A number of solid bites which resulted in our lines being run straight into a large snag.
• The massive number of small blue manna crabs that were an absolute pest.
Another highlight was Sherbs giving some youngsters visiting from overseas a lesson in landbased baitcast fishing for tailor. It is people like Steve who help show the joy of fishing to novices that keep our great sport growing.
I hope to be able to post up a few pics later on.
All the best, Colin Hay

A couple of pics from our bait catching trip
Andrew with one of the many hungry little choppers that abounded.
One of the pinkies that snaffled my whiting bait. Please note that I was suffering elephantitis and the fish is bigger than it looks (Lol).
