Thanks mate i will give it a go. Hopefully i can get hooked up and reel screaming on those 40cm bruisers.

Hi Raiders, I've gone fishing the Georges River and Botany bay area two weeks in a row for bream and came up donuts. In summer i have no probs locating them but winter has been quite difficult. Does anyone have an idea which parts of the system will be my best bet to try for them. I have a boat and use lures. Thanks,

Took my family to Grays Point that day telling them it was a good place for the family with secret intentions to suss out more fishing spots. Wife saw through my idea as she knows any place near the water means fishing to me. Got down to the water and felt it really warm up compared to a week ago. My daughter was asleep in the car so i had a 20 min window but limited from shore. With wind in face, no wading gear or shorts and dogs running in and out of the water spooking any fish that may have been around I had no chance. Good to hear you got out there Big Yella with the whiting on the bite, like you said Yowie knows his stuff. I'll be out there again soon, but this time with nobody holding me back.

Thanks for insight into how water temps are effected by wind patterns. I will keep this info in mind in future trips and hopefully land some on the surface lures when we get that run of southerlys.

I use the same style lures and have been successful in other systems. I am just not sure why there weren't any fish there at this time of year when it seems like such a good place for the whiting to be with the abundance of food and shelter opportunities there. Maybe somebody who fishes the area would have a better idea than me of when to target them there.

Hi All, Fished Maianbar flats yesterday first time after years of eyeing it out on google maps for a hope of catching whiting on some surface lures. Thought this will be a good spot for them as there are yabbie holes all over the area, but didnt see a single fish except for some blowfish. And not a single strike for a whole two hours from an hour after the high tide. Water felt a bit cold for this time of year. Can anybody shed some light about this area and if whiting are known to be caught there on lures and when to target them on the Maianbar or nearby flats. Cheers,
