encourage the up and comers to do better even give them some helpful hints and if you didnt concern yourself with what anyone else was doing then why would you be on a 'public' forum?

last night i went down to the werribee river entrance.. walked about about knee deep found some fresh pipis in the sand for bait and i caught my first whiting :) it was only small but i still had fun.
and how did we get on to the topic of centrelink kings
Please familiarise yourself with the rules and regs in relation to the collection of shellfish in port phillip bay.

Whilst I highly recommend the use of fresh pipis, the collection of shellfish in the intertidal zone is actually prohibited for port phillip bay.

A person can collect certain shellfish but it must be in water at least 2 metres deep or more.

If you did this for example at Venus Bay or Point Lonsdale it would not be a problem.

However you are allowed to collect worms, and bass yabbies which are also dynamite on Whiting or bream or bass.

Try out the whiting whackers in their various forms, trout flies can substitute.
