whiting
Submitted by luke george on Sat, 2007-07-07 18:48
Hey im just wondering if anyone can give me some tips on getting some whiting. Everyone always talks about after a bad days fishing whiting can make it ok and all that but im finding it really hard to get any last 3 trips targeted them and didnt get one. Im using fresh squid on 2/0 hooks on flat ground just to the back of the FFB can anyone give me any tips on where to get them ie: what type of ground or depth
Cheers Luke

Ox heart
Try OX heart as bait, works a treat on small hooks, sandies cant help themselves. As for king george, I'll leave that to the metro gurus. :)

Whiting I find are more
Whiting I find are more prolific close to the shore, I prefer to use occy or squid and we always get a few.

Whiting rigs
You can buy whiting rigs but some come with 6 hooks on them but you can only used 3 of the hooks and like adam said xo heart is by far the best and put it through the hook twice to help keep it on the hook

mind if I ask
Hia Guys
mind if i ask if you are out at 35m you still have to search for structure ? I tried it only once and it was hard to find anything decent mind you then I scouted 3 mile and kicked myself when I saw nice 5meter drops and Coral overhang or I believe it was :) what is it out at 35 m ? just random luck ?
thanks

yo yo
yo yo yo if your fishing the back of ffb your on the right track
head out to the 32 to 33 meter mark and drop. if they around youll get hits straight away. standard pattenosta rig works well generally straight out from pnt peron hit the 33m mark and bang your on. f you start getting small flat head move move quickly.

That's six words mate. Shag & Sherbs reckon you can't catch fish, I just reckon you can't count.
NOHA & Mav, are you talking KG's / Sandies or both there?

We picked up a spot in 40m
We picked up a spot in 40m of water with sand whiting 30cm+, this spot isn't so prolific with them but they are good size.
