james7 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 What sort of whiting are these? (I'm assuming they are whiting) They were caught about 1km off Kurnell in 50m. I've never caught a whiting with orange stripes before. And I've never caught a whiting so far offshore either. Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 chewsta Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Would make a great Live bait by the look of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 james7 Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 G'day Peter,Eastern School Whiting mate. Cheers, Slinky Also called winter whitingsniper Thanks for that Slinky and sniper. Are they common? I can't believe that after so many years fishing that area offshore from Kurnell and Cronulla, that I never came across them before. Are they any good as live bait as chewsta and Bugsy suggested? If so, what is their legal size? Cheers Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
