chewie Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 With all this crazy weather driving me Bananas, I've been chomping at the bit to get out for a fish. Opting for a cheeky Harbour landbased session, I fished for a few hours on Sunday morning. Armed with a bag of worms we found a spot out of the wind and had a cracker session targeting Whiting. We ended up landing 12 Whiting, and a keeper Bream. We kept 8 for the table and released the Bream and 4 smaller keeper sized Whiting. It was a great way to spend a few hours in the sun fishing with the girlfriend. I forgot how much i enjoy fishing for these little line burners.

Oh Maan, I got my gal interested in fishing, she went from zero interest to hero on her first bite. if you can get her interested, it makes life sooooo much easier. the thing that held her back was the bordom, often giving up in disgust before catching anything ' i don't know what you blokes see in this fishing lark' sort of thing. all changed when she caught her first fish though, no stopping her now! loves the rush of a catch, and the feast after. she saw a decent Snapper on one of the TV shows, and wants to catch one, a big one......don't we all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinsoi Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Great work and a cracker session indeed.... some real elbow slappers there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastwood1980 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Well done on your catch mate. The one on your right looks massive. The whole topic about catching whiting seems to be little interest to most raiders. The main topic seems to be How can i get my gf to be more intested in fishing... Same as me... how? Tried taking my gf fishing.... not really working. What do i do in this situation, when my gf's not interested at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dobson_c Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Most of those whiting are bigger than that kingy in your profile pic! Well done mate, great session. If she watched the rugby with you after the fishing, I think you might want to start thinking about a promotion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonfishing Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Wow, awesome catch. Whitings of those size must have given your light tackles a good work out. Well done mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erroll Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Have to agree with the Sand Grouper there, the little lady sounds like a keeper! Well done . erroll Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cogo44 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Whiting were also continually picking at baits inshore on Sunday off Sydney. Those with smaller hooks boated a few but those with larger hooks grabbed the bigger model flatties that love to hang around for a feed of whiting. Perhaps next time at least we could put one small hook on top of the leader. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nosquid Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Hi there, Any chance of you sharing your spot for some whiting. I too am only fortunate to fish from land, which does mean that fishing is limited. Are you fishing on the Beach? Also do you catch/ collect your own beach worms? Kind Regards Squid_jig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewie Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 Thanks for the replies raiders! Like I said it was a cracker session. The larger models went 38ish. Sand grouper and errol, behave! I recall cleaning all the fish! As to getting the gf interested in fishing. Make sure it's comfortable, catch fish, preferably edible ones and have short sessions. As to whiting spots, look on google maps for an area that's 90% sand with some scattered reef or weed in about 1.5 meters and your in with a shot. Whiting prefer shallower water and fresh live bait is a must if you want to target them. I try to fish out of the wind so its more pleasant and also allows you to try different spots.

chewie Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 And it was 50/50 on the catch rate. We just grabbed the rods when they loaded up next to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
