Well I went bottom fishing again last night down on Torquay pier but it was much more quiet than the night before. I was trying a different set-up and went with: line - weight - swivel - line - hooks I was using whole squid and had 2x 6/0 hooks on each squid. The fish on Wednesday were stupid but the fish last night must have gone to Yale because they were very smart fishies :) I had 2 hooks in the squids and they still managed to take the bait without getting hooked.

I caught a few tiddlers and it was getting late so I started packing up and threw away the remainder of my squid and that's when my rod bent right over and the bait feed went mad. I reeled in a nice Whiting. I put the float next to it only to give you an idea of the size. I wasn't float fishing when I caught it.

Last night was freezing cold and the penn flotation suit was still keeping me really, really warm. Best investment I've made in a while :)

I've also added a huge
Torbay fishing section to the site with local news, photos, shops etc.
