The fighting whiting
Submitted by bushpig on Mon, 2009-12-21 08:18
Out on the 60mt line from Mandurah last saturday.
Day started quietly, so decided to downsize the rig after hearing a few KG's being boated over the two way.
Size 18 Tainawa hooks (3 x droppers) with a small lump of occy on each resulted in this (17kilo), a 5kg queenie and a 4 kilo pinky.
Nice way to christen the Penn 750 spinfisher rod/Penn 950ss combo recently purchased from Totally Wild in Mandurah.

Nice Whiting
A welcome Xmas feast for sure. Good capture for sure.
The best reason for doing what's right today is tomorrow.
