first days fishing from new tub
Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 2016-06-14 22:04
After not having a boat since February this year I've been itching to get out in the new tub. Launched at 9.30 after doing the school run, then arriving at my trusty whiting spot by 10 (new transom wedges i installed made a huge difference with the rough conditions today, can now actually get the nose down) anyway was slow going with the western butter fish out in force! After persisting for a couple of hours I managed my 30. On the way back to the ramp I had time for a quick drift for some squid, managed 3 nice sized ones... biggest whiting went 32cm and 231gms, biggest squid tube was 30cm and 681gms (whole squid)...
Water depth was 12m for whiting and 5m for squid (white yo-zuri) water temp16.6

Yeah just a scaling bag from bcf, has a inner bag with finer mesh to stop your fish coming out... about $30... also you can do your squid tubes in it, takes the skin off in seconds and no slimy mess!

The ruler doesnt lie
Good whiting, Photos don't do justice to how impressive a 30 cm+ sand whiting looks straight out of the water. And even better in fillets between fresh baked bread. Personally haven't cracked over 31cm for a while. Would be cool if more crew could photograph confirmed sandy"s over 32cm. My PB is 33cm (from an ice slurry) but haven't seen one that big in long while.
