Braid or Mono? What depth? Noise in the boat? Anchor noise? Amount of moves? Time Between moves? Water clarity? Sometimes the ting can be tough but 1%ers help.MsShimano wrote:rb85 wrote:No squid or muscle? What depths did you fish, tide, burley, rigs etc?
Where do I start? Used live mussels and live pippies, caught a squid and cut him up fresh. Also had some fresh cuttlefish.. bait sorted. Had some good berley. Fished 2 hours before and after tide change. Used a whiting assassin with a stradic 3000. Felt every nibble. Had a paternoster rig with a circle hook. It was a beautiful day... every other fish except the damn ting.
What a tough day.

Re: What a tough day.
I used braid with a mono leader. I tried depth ranging del
3-16m. Moved every 20 mins.. water was super clear. No noiaw in the boat apart from the water slapping the hull. Anchor was quiet. Honestly I think I'm going to do a whiting charter....

Re: What a tough day.
Something isn't working. Sometimes I find Mono better than braid for shallow whiting. Maybe bait presentation it's hard to judge without seeing everyone has a bad day from time to time mind you.

Re: What a tough day.
Personally I like mono straight through. I feel braid isn't needed for whiting but that's just my opinion. Also I use a simple dropper loop rig or pre tied whiting snatchers. Don't need to be fancy. When the spotted bones are on they are on.

I agree with everything you said until you called them spotted bones? Its like calling snapper pags.Kadmium wrote:Personally I like mono straight through.
