The KG whiting fishing along Arno’s coastline is pretty good, and these fish are the mainstay target for local fishos. The Evinrude guys enjoyed some great whiting fishing during their stay, with a couple of hectic KG bites. The whiting begin to school up during autumn, with winter being the prime whiting time (for numbers), and provide a good option aside from snapper. Most of the Arno whiting slot in the 35-45cm size range and pull surprisingly above their weight.

The downside to this area (and there’s always a “but”) is that Arno is pretty darn windy. The prevailing wind is from the south-east and hence onshore, which chops the Gulf water to no end. Ash still punches out in breezy conditions, and his boat is comfortable enough to allow this. For the visiting angler who tows their own trailerboat to Arno, however, the day or even whole week can easily be written off due to wind.
