Might be a few better year classes about at the moment. Found last winter at local spot that whiting were averaging close to 29cm when for the last eight or so years it would have been closer to 24cm. This used to be the norm (29cm) so was delighted to see them back. Hopefully this winter the standard will be maintained.
