Fished 7-30 to 10:30 last night. right on high the bites started. got 2 whiting , both about a pound. then hooked a bigger fish, but it came off in the surf. was probably 2-3 lb - would have been my first ever cod
i'll never trust my mate to make me rigs again as the hook length had come away from the rig. gutted.

That's unlucky mate. Still at least you were catching so you know the bait and location was a good choice. I'm sure you'll get it next time.
