errrr welcome to the site! Whiting around st kilda and kerferd rd are more of a summer time proposition. A good sign is when you start seeing small boats anchored about 200m south of kerferd rd pier
When I got time,
I wet a line cos Im a junkie,
been fishin since a kid,
I like it cos it numbs me..

Ok guys, here's the into. I'm in my mid 40's and have teenage kids. I want to give them the fishing experience and memories I had as a kid with my dad. Just plain good fun on the bay, catching fish, and then the responsibilities of looking after and cleaning up. We have a 7 meter fiberglass boat, and want to fish the northern end if the bay, launching at St Kilda. We caught pinkies off Williamstown footy ground earlier in the year, but wanted to concentrate on some whiting. Any tips and tricks appreciated.

It's an exhilarating feeling catching a fish
But it's an even better feeling releasing them

Good question.


However, how do you find the answer to your question?

It can be frustrating for a new comer to get the answers that they desire.

There are a number of steps, firstly many fisho's are protective of their knowledge and some even won't share with their mates.

If you want to catch whiting, get Lee Raynors video about whiting.

Join a fishing club. Find and read the fishing reports online, Listen to the fishing shows on Radio. (use the search function on this site to find them).

Go on a few fishing charters.

More importantly is to go fishing, put into practise what you learn and try a few new things.
