Whiting

 Stoked to finally get out for a fish and luckily picked up a good bag of whiting. Due to the wind being up early, we headed out from Hillarys around 9:30. Got out to the spot and there were a couple of boats anchored on spots I'd caught at before. Decided to drift with the sea anchor and had just enough weight to hold bottom. The boys picked up a couple of double headers and after marking a new spot, anchored up and reaped the rewards. Ended up with about 30 sand whiting with some thumpers in amongst the catch, a few yellow tail for bait next time and even a couple of beautiful, just sized pinkies on the whiting circle hooks.  They went back to swim another day.  The water glassed off beautifully as we headed back in around 12 and spent a little time looking at ground for the pots. Hopefully putting them out in the next couple of weeks. My boys love whiting so it was great to get a few meals in the freezer and a great family outing.

 Going to grind the frames up with old bait, chook pellets, oil and pollard to make my own burley, ala Mick C's recipe. Did chuck the yakka out as a livey but no luck so he became a deady.
