jenno64 Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Hit the Hacking yesterday arvo for a quick flats session. Collected some nippers at Maianbar and fished the run out tide for 7 nice whiting int he mid 30s. Headed out again this morning and collected some nippers and poddies and drifted the main channel for a flatty in the mid 40s then hit a number of different flats for a mixed bag. The best fish of the day was a whiting up river that was quite dark and about 40cm. I've sashimid the trev for tomorrow and will cook the flounder whole, plenty of other whiting and flatty fillets also boned and ready to cook:) 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always drifting Bob, I cover more ground and the whiting seem to be more aggressive with a moving bait. Sometimes I use the electric motor if there is no wind. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when you are bait fishing with nippers and drifting, do you allow the bait to drag along the bottom BEHIND the boat Rob? bn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
