It is a whiting fisherman’s dream to get a whiting that is 50cm plus so after fishing around the bay for a numbers of years you can understand that member Adam Woods was extremely proud of his 50.5cm whiting caught off Merricks.
Over the summer the whiting have been somewhat elusive off Balnarring. On this particular day Adam, accompanied by Peter Leyden and Adam Vince had moved 6 times trying to find the fish.
Adam wants to thank Adam Vince for catching the leather jackets and leaving his bait free for the monster whiting!
After moving down from Queensland 14 years ago it has taken many long hours to find a fish like that. Meanwhile Peter and Adam Vince will just have to continuing dreaming about catching a 50cm whiting, like many of us.
Landed a good catch recently? Maybe a good 'one that got away' story? eMail the details (photos are great) to info@westernport.org.au and we'll have your expertise publicised!
