G'day Guys
After some help in chasing whiting in the Nanga bay area. The wind is blowing from the ESE all morning up here so been sticking close to the shore and have had no sucess getting the famous Shark Bay whiting.
We have scored some babies from the beach but if anybody has any tips on depth for the bigger ones it would be appreciated. The sand/weed beds are from 2-5m in the south area where we have been going.

Nanga whiting
Hi merv, fished at nanga for a lot of years and only ever got small whiting right at the ramp, tasty but.When the wind is blowing Se or SW head down to Garden point and anchor just off the reef. Used to get black snapper and bluebone there and quite sheltered there with that wind and a nice ride back to the ramp. Good luck.

Looks like the bigger ones must be towards the mouth of the bay. Tried again yesterday and got nothing. No whiting that is. We have been cleaning up on Black snapper and the pinkies are in plague proportions. We went a bit shallower trying for the Bluebones and must have released 60-80 smaller pinkies. Only got 3 Bluebone but they were all undersize.
Thanks for the reply Optimont.
