Whiting
Submitted by Albee Mangles on Sun, 2009-01-18 20:05
I've been targeting Sand Whiting on soft plastics a lot lately, and starting to get some excellent results. Today i took my niece and dog down to the beach for a swim, took my rod, and landed a PD sandy first cast. This beast went 35cm, and is the biggest, Sand Whiting i've ever seen. I've caught a Yellowfin bigger, but this thing looked like a Bonefish in the water. Sure put up a great fight on the 4lb braid!
I went on to catch 9 in total, and there wasn't a single one under 30cm, ripper whiting!
Great fish!

Bloody Oath Mate!!
Nah, i thought today wasn't going to be any good, but it turned out sweet! Plus i'm looking after one of my nieces at the moment, so need to be around.
We fished around 7ish. I find with the whiting getting the hook sizes right is important. Found some new Owners at #6 hook, and nice and light. Very few jigheads on the market that have small hook sizes, and arent too light..
