Looking for Fishing Buddy who has a Boat!

Good job ******** :thumbsup:

I'd say a fair few people here will remember your attitude to the rules next time you need advice

[Queasy]

I am not staying at that spot, I leave once I catch something.

Why would you leave once you catch something? Afraid that the other fish are spooked? Generally speaking if you are fishing for anything that forms schools, and you begin catching them, you would be well advised to stay there, keep doing what you are doing and catch more. Maybe not such a good idea if they are undersized tho of course.

I realised it was not legal once I left as normal whiting has no limit

Correct, other whiting such as grass whiting have no legal minimum size.

We all make mistakes at times, I can understand in the excitement one could forget the exact limit on a particular fish. Perhaps the lesson here is to err on the side of caution and to release small fish that you haven't caught before or at least have the fishing guide handy to refer to. The minimum sizes are really quite small, too small imo - personally I don't usually keep anything until its at least a couple of cm over the minimum for the species.

I like to move to different spots, I was targetting Australian Salmon. Not into staying and catching more

So you just want to catch 1 Australian salmon mate? Did you see my report and pics?

You tried doubling the whitebait over and then putting it on he hook? Usually stays on for me and I have done it many times :thumbsup:

Yeah I tried that, it just falls apart. It could be it is only good once you buy it or you need to salt freeze it.

Can you explain how you double it over?

Was it fresh or old bait? The fresher the better or
bury it in butches salt fir 2 days and let it dry out
