jenno64 Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Headed out yesterday morning for a session in the Hacking. Weather forecast was pretty kind and I was on the water for the bottom of the ebb tide. Pumped some nipper and fished the flats further upstream away from the brown snot weed at Maianbar. Very quiet on the water traffic-wise and my son joined me later in the morning so we collected some poddies and tried trolling livies around and had another go on the flats with some more nippers collected from Maianbar. Lost livies to big tailor (courtesy of the arc like bite behind the head. Also lost something significant up on the flats that woke up close to the boat and got the tail working with a brisk bust of on 6lb gear. Ended up with three nice whiting in the high 30s and a small flatty that was the first fish of the day. A few fillets after a fair few hours on the water and overall a pleasant day out! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little_Flatty Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Some nice fish there @jenno64! Like Yowie, you always seem to manage a feed. Sounds like a nice day on the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squidless Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 sounds like you had a great time and some reward for your efforts. I also managed to make it out yesterday morning, I was anchored around lilli pilli and the tailor were cruising around there too, landed one in the low 40s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rebel Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Top report. Can't beat whiting. Well done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isaac Ct Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Great bag mate, lovely feed of fish. Hopefully a few like that will come my way this weekend, hoping to get out. Still planning where to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yowie Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) Nice whiting there Rob, look like they are around the pound mark. Still a few salmon about, some cruising the shallows. Saw a couple last time out at Maianbar flats, in very shallow water. I also pulled out a couple of trevally several weeks back, the biggest in the mid 50's, also in shallow water.

Larkin Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 Nice catch Rob! Good sized fish too. Will make a nice lunch or dinner! 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pickles Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Nice whiting Rob, (disappointing / exciting to lose a big fish, but fishing that light, it’s hard to do battle with confidence, keeps you coming back). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Dave, it's nice to get some size in lieu of numbers and it's fun watching whatever is cruising the flats, not much chance on 6lb leader though:) 5 hours ago, Pickles said: Nice whiting Rob, (disappointing / exciting to lose a big fish, but fishing that light, it’s hard to do battle with confidence, keeps you coming back).
