  1. Trailer-sailer up to top end of Smith's Creek; anchored Thursday pm for a quiet overnight. Pumped some nippers, fished upping tide from dusk, and not a bite until an undersize Bream rattled the tied-off rod at 3am. Usually can't keep a nipper on the hook up here for more than a few minutes with undersize or just-legal whiting, bream, flatties or rays around. Never known it so "nothing". By 10am Friday declared "last cast" before releasing nippers ready to set sail for windier waters. Then saw a school of small whiting going past the edge of the seagrass; cast in front and they just kept going! Ah well, wind it in and set sails. Suddenly retrieve gets heavy; dammit - snagged on light gear? except the snag was moving, then fighting solidly. Result: 41.5cm of whiting. Motivation takes over, son casts, and a 38cm whiting. Then session over! Good feeling all the same. I have a feeling a 41cm whiting is probably one I'm not likely to repeat for a while, particularly after a fishing show this morning declared a 39cm whiting "the fish of a lifetime", so I got it out of the fridge to get a photo before cooking it! Love reading the reports but never had anything worth reporting before. Keep on sharing! Redfish (Paul)
