Hacking Whiting

Recommended Posts

Hit the Hacking on Saturday arvo for a bash on the flats. It was shirt off fishing as the sun came out to play! Pumped some nippers in quick time an hour after the low and drifted the flats for some nice whiting including a bruiser in the low 40s. A trevally in the mid 40s livened up the arvo on 4lb braid and I headed home under a swelling moon in perfect conditions.

Awesome bag of whiting, golden feed with a siding of trev and bream! good job out there, sure was a stunning day.

Trev done as sashimi and the bream was last caught and released as I had plenty:)

impressive catches for sure, great bag of fish including the "foot" long one.

 

Yes Dave the foot comes in handy as a measuring stick sometimes

 what size hook,  and how long is your trace  please mate ? once again great catch 

 

I normally use a larger size bloodworm hook to try to stop the fish swallowing the hook plus I like using xl nippers. Trace usually about 60-80cm.

Nicely done again Rob, a good feed or 3 in that lot. 👍

Down here in Mt Gambier, windy enough to blow a dog off a chain, so no fishing. 😡

Thanks Yowie, I have a good stash of fillets snap frozen now for whn I crave whiting!

As for your road trip, I was like that in Tassie! It was raining for the first few days when we on the coast so the closest I got to a fish was spooking some trout in the inland streams when we went for a walk!

What a great days fishing Rob - good sized whiting and the bream and Trevally, would have given a good fight on light line. Well done.

Thanks Bob, my whippy whiting rod had a good bend in it close to the boat!

Top feed again @jenno64. Maybe you need to have measurements tattooed into your foot! :D 

Not a bad idea! That could catch on in the fisho world!

Nice haul rob! 👍

I do like having whiting fillets on hand but I cooked the big whiting whole this time around and had it with a curry....very nice!
