Mindarie whiting
Given the light winds on Saturday it was almost compulsory to take the boat out. Launched at Mindarie but given the demersal ban decided to stay close and chase a feed of sand whiting. Found them in plague numbers behind Stagies Reef but had to pick through a lot of small ones to get the good ones. Didn't have any trouble getting a good feed though. Largest went about 30cm.
Was a great day on the water, calm winds, amazing water clarity, whales breaching in the distance, what else could one ask for! (well, maybe for end to demersal ban 
)
One thing of interest was some good echoes on the sounder about half way up in 20m of water. Did think about having a trawl but then had a sounder mulfunction (transducer bracket broke in half!) so decided to call it quits.

I had the same idea as you
I had the same idea as you mate. I found them again out from City Beach, big fatties too! The bite was hot until some big boy must have come along and scared them off. I changed location and got hawrassed for ages before hooking and releasing 3 beautiful pinkies...mmm! Moved back to Hillary's weed banks and picked up a thumpin calamari using a whole whiting. What a great feed we had that night! A few whales out from Scarborough aswell.
