Yowie Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Headed out early this morning to Gunnamatta Bay, drifted in a few places to see if the tailor I saw last week were about, but not there. I drifted with a floating pillie and spun with a small metal. The only hit was the blue spot flattie on the pillie. On sunrise, I headed to the Maianbar flats and pumped some nippers. Waded about in the cold water for some time, just toads chewing off the baits and a couple of hooks. The current slowed down near the top of the tide, I was thinking of moving then the whiting turned up, so I grabbed the 5 which is enough for a couple of feeds, then headed home. # within the 10km limit from home. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welster Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Another nice feed Yowie. Most of the whiting you catch seem to be when you are wading, is that your preference to target them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the whiting you catch seem to be when you are wading, is that your preference to target them? The whiting have been hard to locate in some places recently, however, I know where to find them at times in shallow water, too shallow to be motoring about so wading is the go. 2 hours ago, puddlejumper said: Nice little report, haven't had much luck on any whiting lately. Not the prime season for whiting at present. 1 hour ago, zmk1962 said: Living the dream! …… bugger. cheers Zoran Thanks Zoran.

Cannot say anything for the jet skier, a racing version, travelling about 50 knots over the Gunnamatta flats. Not exercise in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Rob. I kept hoping some would turn up. Could have been more about but I left with number 5 on the last cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
