Big Yella Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Hey fellow fisherman, my first post on here as I'm a newbie, can't wait to get into all the action! I've been fishing off puckeys beach there north of Wollongong quite a bit lately with some great success. Last week I went down at about 7am and using some squirt worms I pumped for bait, I bagged some decent whiting! The smallest was 30cm. The only time I've had trouble there is when the current is ripping through, though other than that it's been great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elferoz777 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 You fished the lagoon or the gutters along the beach? I go beach worming there and have caught small whiting. Its a good beach ibe if the better nirthern beaches for whiting. glad you got some bigger ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Yella Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) I fished the gutters just to the north of the lagoon, though I have fished the lagoon aswell. There is plenty of whiting in there, although majority of them are very small. Also the odd solid flatty in there. My last fish in the gutters at puckeys I caught 13 whiting, with the biggest being 35cm and the smallest being 30cm. I took 7 home and released the rest. I would love to get beach worms there, though I am not very good at it (last time I tried I spent nearly 2 hours for 1 worm) Edited January 3, 2017 by Big Yella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StinkyDonut Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I'm always looking for new spots... I'm guessing this is landbased? I may just catch the train this weekend and come down to Wollongong for a fish, would you care to join me? I've never caught decent whiting before :/ :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never caught decent whiting before :/ Yeah land based, get off train at fairy meadow, walk east along Elliot's road towards the ocean?. If train don't stop, get off at nth Wollongong or Wollongong and jump on the free shuttle bus 55. Or get off at Thirroul for an all stops to Wollongong assuming you coming from Sydney.

Its almost as fun as getting the fish sometimes. I use the old luderick heads in my stink bag n that works well. YouTube was helpful. Ill head out this week and the luderick fishing is a bit slow atm at my usual spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lungfai76 Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 You can pump for worms in the lagoon, I used to pump for them at the channel, not sure how productive it is nowadays but if you stuck for bait or you run out there's that option.

I've never caught decent whiting before :/ I'd love to mate though I'm a chef so I work every weekend and only get to fish Monday/Tuesday. Let me know if you are ever free on a Monday or Tuesday and I'll definitely go for a fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StinkyDonut Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 Oh so no only do I get to fish a new place, but I'll also get to sample some fresh Bream/Flathead/Whiting cooked by a chef? I'm game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
