Post by rohan201990 » Sun Mar 22, 2015 8:58 pm

Hey guys and gals
Went down to reef island today to try my luck on the whiting for a few hours had a sensational trip getting 23 good whiting 19 good leather jacket a 50cm rock flathead and a 40cm pinky on my 2lb whiting set up which was fun. All fish caught on San Remo side of reef island in 3m of water pippies accounted for all whiting bar 2 which were caught on squid, leather jacket pinkie and rock flatty all on squid.
Get out there have fun and get a feed :thumbsup:

Yeah, this is the big problem with FB groups. Too many greenies knocking people for keeping thier bags. if its legal it all good IMO. We have to trust fisheries to do the science.

Realistically by the time you fillet and divide that haul it may feed 3 or 4 Neighbors families, as said before if it's within the bag limit for all the species then I don't see a problem.

I recon I could eat half a dozen of those whiting on my own ! mmmm

Top catch by the way :thumbsup:
He who has the most fishing rods WINS ! :ts:
