Well launched at hillarys at 7am. Ramp was busy, ran into a few fishwrecked members heading out as well. Wind was blowing pretty hard from the east. Went down in front of Scarbs to get a feed of whiting. From 0 to 10m baby whiting 10cm long, one squid. Then headed out to 20m and still small whiting15cm long , which was weird for this spot i normally fish. I then went out to 28m straight off the back of the centaur reef marker..and thats when we hit the mother load. Old mate pulled in the biggest of the day at 30cm, and we caught a bag in a little under an hour. Wind dropped off, and after an hour of cooking in the sun, it was time to head home for a cool redback.

Sounds like you ended up having a good day there Wade
Sherbs, Uncut Trigger and myself landed a few nice sized tailor this morning before they went off the bite - and then Sherbs did ok on the herring.
It seems like the herring are starting to show up in good numbers after being absent for awhile.
