The fighting whiting

The fighting whiting

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.

A good advertisement for your fishing skills and the gear you were using.
