Nice one John good to see it was worth your while giving it a go. The whiting have been scarce for the last few years at da wall anyway, about 4 years ago there were massive whiting there it was great, we had them up to 3lbs and a few bigger, funny thing there was not a cod about when they were there.

cheers seanie na we packed up not long after you left lost a beauty on the last cast had it up to the top at the edge and was just about to lift it out and it just gave a splash of the tail a bit of a roll and was gone :cry: it must have been foul hooked cause there was no way it would have threw a 6/0 pennel as easy as it did or else it was paul who jinxed me he was standing next to me telling me that i wasnt going to land it the whole time i was bringing it in and then he nearly collapsed laughing when the fish came off :twisted:
