for that you need to know how deep the water is right? so you know how long the line under the float should be?
-
Rick, would you kindly please find a image of that set up which I can take a look at please? Im trying to figure out how the jigs wouldn't get tangled in the line
-
thanks all for your advice. would calm beaches be the best place for me to start as a beginner? just near the sand in a foot or two of water? i would think its better if i stand in the water and cast horizontal... so im constantly in 2 feet deep water.
-
Tyrone on a side note.. what type of retrieve method are you using? Ive tried using surface lures for the whiting but never ever have had a hit

First trip after the boat repairs , Calamari again

what size jigs did you use for those squid? size 3? -
should you use some thick line? Whats the secret to not get your rig/line chewed off by these species? In relation to the south side of spit bridge... are they near structure or would they be anywhere in the water? and should you hit the bottom or midway?
-
hey man, what pliers do you use? do you use the alvey worming pliers? I find that when i grab onto a worm, the worm just slips through the pliers. Am i not sqeeuzing hard enough or do you recommend a different type of pliers?
-
thanks Dave. Will see how i go
-
Hi mate, what size rod and reel did you use to catch those fish in the surf?
-
with the bulk worms.. do u just laeve it in the surf and it acts as a real worm?
-
hi abs, what is your rig set up when rigging the yakkas ?
-

Guys when fishing the beach for whiting... i find that im just using a 7" Rod.. smallish star sinker. I find that the waves just move my rig around quiet a bit. Any pointers as to how to best fish from the beach where there are decent waves around? Should I be using heavier gear or going at a specific tide? Im using a Long shank hook with a beach worm i caught earlier in the morning.
-
i think they do. I know Mona Vale, Narrabeen do for sure, as that is where i have caught. Try to target the spots where there is less foot traffic.
-
Also... could you use hard bodies and SPs to catch bream and Whiting at a beach? My guess is it would need to be a beach with minimal waves?
-
do bream hang around the flats? would you actually need to be near structure to find the break? I wouldnt imagine you could simply cast into open calm water?
-
really helpful thanks James
-
guys, for me when fishing beaches such as narrabeen...i find that my rig gets moved around a lot. There are decent sized waves and i think im using a fairly decent sized sinker, but should i not be targeting beaches which large waves? any advice?
-
Hi, i am after a new beach/rocksoutfit. I was looking at the penn prevail 12” rod. Can anyone please suggest a real to match? Would a 5000 reel be suitable? Targetting salmon, tailor, jews, bonito, kingfish. Please suggest in the pleuger, penn, abu garcia range only
-
Good post. Derek seems like an absolute champion
-
Do you guys usually tie the flurocarbon directly on the braid? or should i use a swivel?
-
Hi, Just wanted to get anyones opinion on what is the most effective flurocarbon leader they use? I want to purchase it for targeting whiting.. I was going to go with Berkley Vanish, but if anyone else has any opinions, please share. Also, ive been using Power Pro braid... it seems to knot up easily when im using soft plastics.. anyone else have experience with this?
-
Ok so if i fill it with 8lb power pro braid, would that fill the spool?
-
Hi Guys.. i have a 2500 sized reel.. i plan to spool it with 150 yards of braid. I am going to back it with mono first, but how much mono do i need? is there a trick to determine how to put enough mono in order to use the whole 150yards of braid? I suppose i could put all the braid on first, then the mono until it is full... then take it off and mono first, braid second? Regards
