Whitting myth! On a hotbite I throw undersize fish back all the time and it doesn't stop the hotbite!

maybe i should have clarified....on the reds, if you drop the first one, the school scarpers.... after you've landed a few they tend to hang around. At least, that's up the east coast...

All good mate, perhaps how the fish are released has an effect.

Probably only one way to know for sure and that would be underwater cameras and see what happens to the fish when one is released.

I've found Whiting spook very easily. Doesn't take much, and I've lost a hot bite after dropping a Fish.
The good thing is the school doesn't normally move much, a 10-50m move and you'll find them again.
