Go through the gap between
Go through the gap between the islands and head sw about a mile.
Set up a drift in 15 to 17 m of water before you get to the FFB and you should get heeps of sand whiting.
if you don't get any there go over the bank into the low 20's and you should get some there.
You might have to move a bit.
If you are getting wrasse, move.

On the Paternoster
run some red beads and/or red tubing. This does appear to attract whiting. Now only fish for whiting all up and down the coast with red on the whiting rigs.

Crasny defiantly agree I run big red beads on all whitting rigs. Makes a big difference kg love them. Should try around stragglers good whitting in patchy ground.
