well kept secret and little known fact is , proper match whiting live 207yards from the shore line , tests proved that the " bomber " rig was the only rig to reach these extreme distances without fail !!

Tied for longest Flat but yes it's true, a last ditch attempt at extreme range with the Bomber rig produced the fish. :D

Only one 18cm whiting caught all day :shock: They must of read this thread and scarpered outside the 207 yards.

According to John Bermingham the whiting he caught muttered "the bomber rig, the bomber rig anything but the bomber rig" as he was being chucked back!!!! John said he could see the wash off the whiting for about 207yds as it swam away like a bullet :shock:
Kstaff has always been the new black in my eyes anyway!!!!!!!

Indomitable spirit - never giving up or wanting to give up.
