huge whiting and bite off's

 went fishing for an over early morning Thursday, all nighter Friday with Steve and his bro on the BEACH north of Mindarie and had a great morning/day/night irrespective of the wind and weed,. I caught a huge 400mm sand whiting, a huge tailor, a nice Break sea cod and friend Steve, got a small pinkie and some nice herring and tailor and 3 masive stingrays and lots of dropped mulloway runs and bite offs. we all  got heaps of herring and large gardies, got bitten off by sharks and dropped by large mulloway's. a great day/night with plenty of fish to take home....... now the bad news, an old rotten bit of bait got into my keep bucket and spoiled the whole lot. had to throw it all away when I got home hardest was the whiting        :-( live and learn.

what is the longest WA Sand Whiting by the way, I have a pic and will post in the gallery soon, with the fish on the measuring board and also with me holding it. I have not heard of one that big

 Thanks for the comments, yes it is a great spot and i cannot wait to get back there especialy on a nicer day. I was tempted to try the whiting but the smell was awfull. The Taylor was the last in the bucket and was kept whole, the other fish were gutted and headed so smell went into the flesh we tryed the taylor, I ended up giving it to the dogs, missus ate it and didnt get sick but i could still taiste or smell it, could of just been me still having the smell in my system but better to be safe than sory. My daughter has the pics on her camera so i will upload as soon as i can get them.
