Werribee South Ting 9/1/2020

[Robbie1950]

After hearing many reports of ting being caught around the Altona area I decided it was time to take a crack and see what all the fuss was about.

I headed out on Wednesday around Altona and Point Cook in search but came up with donuts. I changed numerous spot, burleyed hard and also made sure I was fishing the change of tide. None of this seemed to help me, if I didn't know any better I would have thought the reports were false.

After the crappy day I had I decided that the following day I would take a crack at a trusty mark I have at the Wedge. I anchored up on the mark at around 6.45am. First things first, threw overboard my burley cage full of seas peas and set up 2 rods. One with a Black Magic KL1 circle hook and another with a bait holder both on paternoster setups. Not long after I landed a couple of good size tings. It went quiet for a half hour until the end of low tide when things started to go ballistic.

I have always found whiting fishing to be at its best just after a low tide. This case was no different with me easily bagging out in a total of 2.5 hours.

Definitely a fun day out and a nice change from siting around waiting for a rod top buckle after the tough snapper season we've had.

Thanks mate!

You need to get onto them, they are a shitload of fun. Pound for pound they have to be one of the hardest going fish in the bay. The bonus of course is how delicious they are!

I just cooked up yesterdays catch. Yummo!

Nice work! Well done... but what are the ‘seas peas’ you use for burley.

They are burley pallets that V Tackle in Derrimut make. A 15kg drum costs $35. Thats top value IMO and they work a treat on all species.

Great... I’ll grab some! Whatever works huh!
Thanks

Where do you buy the chicken pallets from? I tried getting my hands on some not long ago but couldn’t find them at any of the pet stores.
