What a tough day.
Beautiful day out on WP.. took the bar crusher out... Tough day on the water.. Chasing whiting and all I could manage was some decent size Flatties, 1 whiting that I didn't catch Hahahaha and some nice gummy bait
(And I pretty much bagged out on the big puffers! Hahaha) went every mark you can think off from top end back to quail bank etc.
Overall a nice day at least I was out on the water.. that's fishing though. I entered the whiting comp next weekend but yet to still catch my first whiting... dunno what I'm doing wrong. I had the best fresh bait. Live pippies. Can't get better then that...
Bring on next weekend!!!

Nice report with a good catch. You are right about the bait. A month ago I was doing alright with the whitings and was using live pippies as well :thumbsup:

I can't believe you haven't caught one just go to the corner of tortoise head you can always find them there. Good luck with the comp next week

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.
