Thanks mate.Seniorfisho wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 7:01 amI actually really enjoyed your post, the fact that you caught your first whiting on bait must have been satisfying. It's not unusual to be swamped by boats when you are catching whiting, it's a pain in the butt. After you got a few on bait were you tempted to put a plastic on?, I have caught so many on plastics over the years and they tend to hit the plastic really hard. For what it's worth, just keep doing what you are doing and keep the reports and write up's coming, there will always be jealous people, or people who want to mock your efforts, at least you go to the trouble of putting an effort to give a bit of a write up and some good pics, tight linespurple5ive wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 9:05 pmI acknowledge that.
But I want to know what comment it is that you think i made to you reeks of arrogance.
yes i did enjoy the short but sweet session, this is the first time from memory i fished with bait on my boat in the 5 years ive owned it.
and yes throwing a plastic into that feeding frenzy did cross my mind, but i decided not to. i want to work out these fish a bit more and then start using lures on them, besides the tide was a bit too strong for lures imo, further up the bay where you fish might have to be the practice grounds i think.
anyone have any whiting spots at the top end of the bay your willing to share then let me know, i will come up there and practice with lures rather than bait, bonus would be not having to use the anchor
as for the write ups and pics.
let some of our other gun fisherman on the forum put their writing and photography skills to good use. i know there's quite a few here that catch ripper fish, but just dont post it (i dont blame them in a way)
ill stick to my social media pages if i have anything worthwhile posting, at least i wont have to deal with any of these sorts of issues over there (i hope)
cheers
