With the long weekend and reports of whiting getting caught around Metung I went down to have a look. I arranged an extra day off since the forecast for Tuesday (today) was so good. I launched at Paynesville and did the run across Lake King to Metung. I certainly caught my share of whiting, unfortunately they were all throwbacks (15 cm approx.). I called into the ramp at Shaving Point for a dump and there were four guys fishing land based, they said between them they had 4 keepers after fishing all morning so not much action there. I went across the channel to try for something bigger but the toadies were in overdrive. It was a magic day on the water with the seals and dolphins about and I thought "on days like today just being out here is enough, catching fish would be a bonus", on the way back across Lake King it was glassy calm so I could trim the motor right back and let her rip.
Cheers
Ango.

Re: Metung fishing report
Days like that it really does feel great owning a boat! I know the feeling too well
At least you gave it a crack mate!
Hopefully next time you get onto some bigger size ones to take home
