RexSenior Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Hi Raiders Happy to report that the whiting are on the improve in Newcastle. Set out at around 6pm off Blacksmiths Beach after a couple of hours catching a few healthy king worms for bait. The sting rays were still a pain however conditions were great and ended up keeping 16 whiting between three of us, up to 41cm with a few thrown back that weren't gut-hooked. Fishing pretty heavy with a 15lb fluorocarbon leader and massive sinkers (to cast around the breakers) however they didn't seem too fussed. Seemed to quieten down just before high tide (weird) so we left. Photos below are the total between the 3 of us that we kept and the ones I caught for the table. Cheers, James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike89 Posted December 4, 2016 Share Posted December 4, 2016 Mate that is a well-deserved haul, excellent work. Now if only I knew how to catch nice juicy whiting with some consistency in Sydney (I don't!). Great stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
