Fab1 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Hit the lake very early this morning with the mrs in tow for a fish and swim before going to work this evening. Drifted/Anchored the usual main channel and various spots throughout the main lake for these beauty's using my trusty 4kg mono fished on a lightly weighted running rig with a 2 Meter trace down to a #4 LSH. Once again beach worms came up trumps. Got the mrs to hand over a few fish to a young boy fishing with his mum and she received the biggest hug you've ever seen in return. Cheers.

Fab1 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Share Posted January 14, 2015 (edited) Great bag mate, do you find the lake fishes better thsn the beach?Hi mate,I haven't fished the beach for many years.But when I did I found it quite good as long as you didn't cast a country mile over the tops of the whitings heads and anchor your baits to the seabed. From my observations whiting don't like their gills full of sand and gettng tumbled around from the turbulent water from waves crashing down on top of them. My best whiting from the beach come from overcast conditions in very shallow water sometimes literally at your feet and by using very lightly weighted running rigs with a 2-2.5meter trace with fresh beachworms or pippies if you can get hold of them legally. I use the KISS principle for all my fishing with good knots and usually do well if I find the fish. Cheers.

Yowie Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Good haul of whiting. When I was a kid, I had some good catches of whiting along the main channel, sometimes just wading out not needing the boat. Squirt worms were the killer bait.
