Guest hawkesbass Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Went out for a whiting fish with ddaniel in the hacking using bloodworms for bait arrived at the spot at 3pm to fish run in tide. Rigged up the flicksticks and cast out our baits and sat down on plastic chairs that someone had left there after 1/2 hr dans rod gets a bite and hes onto a good whiting of 38cms after a couple of minutes first fish landed While unhooking his fish dans other rod gets a bite so i grab it and fish is on and playing up nicely on 4 pound braid and 6 pound leader after a couple of minutes anothet whiting landed going 40cms and 650 grams After this fish went quiet for 1 hour then dan hooks up to smallest whiting for the day measuring 36cms The tide started to get full as darkness fell and bites dropped off i moved further down the beach after 5 minutes felt a hit then was onto another whiting of 40 cms too christian the new outfit i was using Decided to call it quits around 8pm as dan was cleaning the fish i got another bite and picked up rod out of the holder to strike and forgot to tighten drag up and got a big birdsnest resulting in losing the fish all in all a good arvos fishing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, i didn't use burley either. i was fishing pretty shallow and they were hunting as the tide receeded on what washed off the flats. i would set a spread then when i found the fish i would focus on that area.
