Whiting?

Post by Kimtown » Sat Oct 14, 2017 4:30 pm

Been slow with the snapper for me, only managed one in about 4 or 5 trips this season and it was only just a snapper, borderline pinky. Another quiet day today on pinkies, but did have some fun with tailor, salmon, couta and a gummy. Staying the night at Cowes again tonight but instead of chasing the one illustrious red, I might change things up and try get a bit more action in my life and find a school of KGW... anyone had much luck with them in WPB lately? Thinking I might give either the eastern entrance a go, from woolamai to cleeland OR Ventnor/Cat bay type region.

Any suggestions or reports would be awesome guys

Just under 80cm then.

Try tortoise bank, dickies, Cleeland, ventnor. They are starting to be caught.

Well went out cleeland bight this morning and decided we'd have a looksy at what it was like offshore. Flat as a tack. Went to the 20m mark and drifted around. 20-30 flathead in an hour or so. All 32+ with a couple around the 45cm mark.

Time to find some whiting though.
