Need a skilled fisherman / Deck hand this weekend

Guys, ive got to get out this weekend and would love to catch something I can get a fillet off. 

Im looking at heading out saturday or sunday, depending on weather it could be anywhere from penguin island to rotto, Ive got a 5.3m Stacer with a 70 on the back.  Plenty of deck space and all the safety gear.  It would be ideal if someone knows some spots and how to read my furuno 600l sounder as ive got plenty of mates that can come along for the ride but i would like someone with enough experience to help not hinder.  Only had the boat a month or so but its a good rig, always up for a couple of beers and be prepared for an early start.  Would like to catch some whiting or squid on the way out or on the way back if we have no luck getting something bigger.

I have a tackle box full of stuff I need to learn how to use, got a few reef sharks and a load of whiting last week but other that that have had no luck latley!!

Sharks and whiting sounds

Sharks and whiting sounds like a good haul. As theres a demersal ban, they'll be hard to top. About the only big thing you could keep would be sambos, but i think everyone would pick the whiting or some nice flake over sambo fillets :p

Happy to help out if you have an idea what you want to chase though.
