Scratchie Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 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! @BabySharkDooDooDoo Definately plenty out there. This was caught in your area! Cheers scratchie!!! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BabyShark Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) Nice catch! It didn't look too windy where you were either @Scratchie ... We might head out tomorrow, thanks for the inspiration!

kingie chaser Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 (edited) 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 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!
