paggles Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 (edited) arrived at maianbar about 10.30 just on the rising tide and pumped out a bucketfull of nippers then headed over to the beach facing the ocean..... picked a nice little spot right in front of a "keep speed under 4 knots past this point" sign and had nippers wriggling by 11.30ish.. i had a bite as soon as i threw in then after an hour or so i had my first whiting for the day.....if i threw to the right side of the sign the bait would get hit strait away, i got 6 whiting of 6 nippers (all undersized) but if i threw to the left and waited a while the bigger fish would bite , i ended up keeping 5 decent whiting the biggest measuring 32cm and 1 flounder.... left just before sundown forgetting that tides rise and the walk i took in had me in knee deep water so to get out my trip home was going to have to be a very cold one but who cares....i caught decent fish what a great day and the lemon garlic whiting went down a treat pags p.s. can someone please help.....im having trouble posting some pics because they are to big MORE PICS DOWN BELOW Edited August 30, 2005 by paggles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bluecod Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Nice work on the whiting Paggles, very hard to go past a feed of whiting fillets Apparently you can resize your photos in Windows, but as I run an old version I wouldn't be able to tell you where to start. I got some freeware from Google Downloads called "Picasa" that is a photo organiser, editor and resizer. Download it from the Google site and then follow the instructions. For the price its a top bit of software. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vipernut Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 Nice work Paggles. I fish there a fair bit (landbased also). There has been heaps of undersize whiting around there lately.I normally take 2 rod and cast out 1 with a nipper and flick around some sp's with the other. Have picked up some nice flatties on bass minnows. Might have to try to meet up down there one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vipernut Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 (edited) I normaly go a low tide,and walk right out to the main channel.The red bouy is on the right hand edge of the main sand bank,near the small channel entrance.It is only a few metres out from the edge of the sandbar(not far).It is only a small bouy. As for camping im not sure,but have seen people camped there before. P.s My avatar is also a picture of maianbar,my boy with a small whiting.

Whats the best entrance spot?? eg road name etcThanks, Brett 64788[/snapback] You have to go through the royal national park on the princess highway(i get on the pr highway through cronulla on acacia road)...you will go through a small tollbooth for the national park that you DO NOT have to pay at, you go strait through to maianbar...you will see the signs you end up on maianbar road that goes all the way to the beautiful little heart of maianbar....if you arrive on low tide you will see where the nippers are pags Edited September 1, 2005 by paggles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
