I had the day off on friday so me and my house mate headed out fishing.

We stopped at 3 mile for 20 mins or so and grabbed some whiting for bait, then headed out about 8 miles to a spot my house mate had. He said he has fished there a few times and the ground looked good, but he's never actually caught anything there before. We had a couple of drifts with bait and nothing much was happening, so I dropped down a soft plastic and almost straight away hooked up on a dhu.

We kept on fishing the same spot for a while and caught 3 more undersized dhus on the soft plastic, 6 or 7 skippy, an undersized baldy, an undersized pinky, a tarwine, a sambo and a scorpion fish. It was constant action with the fish on the bite the whole time.

We eventually decided to head out further to direction bank and try another spot. On the way we saw a bunch of splashes on the surface which turned out to be a couple of humpback whales.

When we got to direction bank my mate caught a decent breaksea cod.

We moved to another spot and my mate caught a big sea sweep. Then on the next drift he hooked up on a decent sized pinky.

While we were sorting out the pinky my rod started going off, and it turned into another sized dhu.

We were bagged out after that, so we started heading home. It was an absolute glass off on the way back.

I don't think I've ever had a day out like that around Perth, the fish were on the bite the whole day and the weather was fantastic. Perfect day out.
