Whiting Caught On Something Different

[randal]

took a few mates out in the boat over easter in lake macquarie had a great day caught fish & crabs , but one of the catches was a 38 cm whiting caught on mullet, i am thinking the pickers cleaned the flesh up and the whiting took the skin although i am not sure, so has anyone else caught a whiting on something like this thanks

i have caught 1 on a 4 inch berkley minnow when i was targeting flatties

I suppose when there is competition with other species they will go anything

i caught a big one beach fishing on a ganged pilly(1/0 hooks)in the mouth on the bottom hook,so i assume it was attacking the bait.

i caught one with no bait just a red long shank hook with red tubing above the hook guess it thought it was a worm

i got one on a pink 100mm bozo soft plastic while chasing flatties in botany

I've caught one on a 30gm halco twisty off the rocks spinning for salmon. That was a bit unexpected...

That's the only one that's really surprised me!

Yeah it surprised me too, and he wasn't foul hooked, he attacked it! Not a bad whiting either from memory, although it wasn't exactly sport with 20 lb gear...
