hows tricks lads. i was fishing my local spot the other nite and got loads of small whiting and codling using mussel and mackerel. just wondering if the small ones are there would there be a chance of some bigger fish and what tactics should i use. fishing from the rocks gives fairly deep water at high tide say 20ft or so.
