Anyone had any luck lately? Went chasing a few weeks ago around Blairgowrie with no luck ~ just had the one squid and the usual plague of pinkies, couple of flatties. Landed 1 small spotted/slimy mackerel which was nice.
Looking for a spot to drift around in tomorrow morning if anyone has any tips!

Re: Looking for whiting from the Yak
At least you got some and not a donut.
Coronet bay seems steady producing whiting. St Leonards too and Werribee. I guess anywhere with weed bed sand holes can produce whiting. Burley is essential. I use gotcha burley pellets. Makes a big difference.

Good on you!
I might head to Clifton Springs tomorrow morning for some squid, maybe whiting. Who knows.

Re: Looking for whiting from the Yak
So ended up at Sorrento, paddled back and forth between the ferry pier and blairgowrie marina on the hunt. Dropped 2 good sized squid, and couldn't really find the whiting but ended up popping my KGW cherry - 35cms.
Ended the session with 7 squid, fishing from around 8-1:30

Re: Looking for whiting from the Yak
We struggled on the week end and I only got 2 whiting in that area ( Reef Island ) however the micro pinkies were getting bait pretty quick and probably quicker than any whiting could
still got a feed though with a 105 cm gummy in the mixed bag -- one guy picked up 2 kingfish and would have got more but ran out of hooks as he was busted off a few times
