Port Stephens- whiting!!!


Scratchie

Recommended Posts

G’day raiders,

Just a quick report from up here today. 

With offshore fishing not an option and the kids on school holidays, I thought it would be fun to go and pump some nippers before midday and then go fish the same area later in the arvo around high tide. 

Well it didn’t take long to land a few. Junior came up trumps though and landed this stonker of a whiting over the 40cm mark. 

It was a nice change of pace and a pleasant afternoon by the water!

Definately plenty out there. This was caught in your area! 

Cheers scratchie!!!

While its fun to try & catch fish with lures & Sp's really there is no substitute for the hard work getting fresh bait.

First thing we used to do when we arrived in NB was put in the poddy mullet trap & start pumping nippers & the result was always good.

40 odd years on looks like the same methods still work 👍

 

Great fish, congrats Jnr :thumbup:

 

Coincidently I have one of dads original pumps that I want to bring back to life, think it is made of brass?

Just need some love by probably breaking it down, grease & a new main rubber which I will probably have to donate an old pair of thongs for!
