Hey mate, Generally speaking

Hey mate,

Generally speaking 'whiting on poppers/stickbaits' is a summer fishery. As we come into the colder months the water cools down quite a bit and in turn the whiting go into lazy cruise-control mode. That warm water and those bright sunny days are what get them so fired up to the point where they will nail poppers and stickbaits without a second thought.

As for spots, the flats that surround the peel inlet in mandurah are perfect haunts for chasing whiting during those warmer months. You want clear, fairly warm knee-deep water and some clear/lightly coloured surface lures such as skinny pop jr or ecogear px40's / px45's.

If you are chasing lures come in and take a look, we stock quite a few that would be well suited for all your whiting needs.

Cheers
