We've had a couple of trips out for winteries, but haven't found all that many. Moved around heaps both times between Schorncliffe to the mouth of the river. Grand total of about 70 from 2 trips...not a real lot for these little but yummy fishies...but you could see the bottom, as in every pebble and piece of sand in 17ft of water!! Oh...we also got a nice little squid, and a couple of flatties.

We only had squid as bait, I recon they bite better on worms when there aren't a lot of them around so maybe try that.

Clarry caught a couple on soft plastics LOL...our first fish on SPs (OK a bit embarrassing to admit that one :-/ ).
Good luck

The sooner we get a bag limit on them the more likely you will be able to grab a feed when ever you want. 30 or so of reasonable quality for each fisher is plenty for a feed in my opinion

there were 2 of us. U need at least that many to get a feed. Limit on winter whiting? u got to be kidding. got to catch 20 just to get 1 good feed.
