Hi all,
I had the choice last night of staying home and watching The Ashes or going fishing. The reason for not doing the former should be obvious. Also, work has kept me away from the water.
I decided to have a look off the shore at Runaway Bay. I had yabbies and Cribb Island worms for bait. I only wanted a feed of fish for the family, and the area produced for me. Plenty of bream around in the 25 to 27 cm range and a few bigger models but no real quality fish. I only kept a few of the larger ones and let most of them go. There was a smattering of whiting with some nice fish. The best was up around 35 cm. I lost a large flathead right on the edge of the water, but i suspect it would have been a throw back anyway. It certainly put a bend in the whiting rod. All the whiting showed signs of roeing up already, with one in particular very well developed. This probably means they will be out and about in number in the Broadwater relatively soon.
