Scratchie Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 G’day raiders, Just a quick report from up here. Headed out at gentleman’s hour this morning with the excuse that we need to check our crab pots. Well, that went smoothly, so we did as we said and went and checked them. Nothing in there except for a small banjo that was released. We then thought well while we are out here we might as well throw some lures for the best part of the tide! 😉 Thought we’d change it up a bit and throw around some sugarpens and top water lures in some good areas. It didn’t take long for a few follows and then a couple of boofs them WHAM. The little rod and reel is singing and on board comes the first whiting. Well it was pretty consistent after that and me and the eldest were doing pretty well. We changed over to some sp lures and nailed a few flatty each as well. Called it quits after an hour or so and released nearly all of the fish except for two whiting that came home for lunch. Fish of the day went to Tyran with a 39cm elbow slapper off the top! Was great to see it stalk the lure then smack it. Thanks for reading, cheers scratchie!!! 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickles Posted November 5, 2021 Share Posted November 5, 2021 Great report Jeff, love those Bassday sugarpen’s - especially good on windy days on the sand flats. What’s you’re opinion on eating quality of whiting vs snapper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst whiting is a great eating fish, they just don’t make the top shelf like snapper 🤙 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
