Didnt really get a chance. We just went out for a quick morning bash, got some squid, got some whiting, did a quick troll then got back in the ramp not long after midday. Hoping i'll be able to try this weekend though, especially with all the helpful tips people have given me. Hopefully it'll pay off.
Hey Matt, some nice squid your getting. Got a nice KG off ocean reef on Saturday in about 60 meters, it's the one hiding under the baldie and tuna. The KG went about 1.5kg, tuna was 6.5, biggest I have landed.
Thats a thumper KG, and a great mixed bag. 3 of my top 5 eating fish :p. State record for KG is 1.85kg, so 1.5kg is huge. Equiv of getting a 20kg+ dhuie (if you compare how close it is to the record)
Went out this morning an couldnt find many squid on the previous spots, but got some elsewhere, so have pretty much managed to get into them every trip on the ocean at least. Hopefully i'll be able to get some of the species you have in that bucket though.

As far as whiting go, these
As far as whiting go, these were pretty good sized, around the 25cm mark on average, and thick too. Bit harder last weekend getting good sized ones.
These are a slightly diff species too, but i'm not sure exactly which ones (not yellowfin or kgs of course)
