A great morning on light gear

 Went out from Hillarys in my little dinghy on Saturday, to a spot about 3 miles off MAAC.  Put down the berley bucket  and while I was putting a soft plastic on my jig, my deckie (can you have a deckie in a dinghy?) dropped over and immediately hooked a nice skippy of around 1 kilo.  We caught a few more skippy until the sambos came to play.  We hooked and released several of around 70-80cm.  Good fun all the same.  I then thought I should have a go with my 3 kilo whiting settup, using a 7 ft Strudwick rod.  I immediately hooked up with either a large skippy or a small sambo and the Strudwick absolutely sh%t itself.  Broke clean in half.  Took out my spare whiting rod and hooked into something big.  I caught my first ever metro dhu fish, and it was a keeper.  I was one happy camper.
