Caught a few in the Swan yesterday on soft plastic worms. Missed a lot of strikes.
They were yummy.

Sorry for the late reply to
Sorry for the late reply to the questions:
1. Not sure if they are trumper whiting, but they are really good on the chew.
2. At point walter (there are stacks of them in the river, i caught some at point walter, eshed, narrows on plastic worms).
3. Used Berkley Gulp Bloodworms, very small chunks on a size 8 hook, with a "Carolina Rig" with no bead. Cast and wait a few minutes, then give it a couple of reels and wait again. If you can get small circle hooks in that size there will be no need to strike (I don't have any, but ordered some online).
I am going to give the micro vibes a go. I would love to catch flounder.
