T1's Whiting Spot at the 'pin

[Great White]

It had been a while since I had a fish, so I jumped at the chance to target some whiting at the pin with T1 today.

Early start and T1 picked me up at 3 am from my house as it was on the way to redland bay ramp. We decided to try for some tailor at first light in an area of the pin that T1 had previous sucess. A hour or so later and nothing in the esky we up anchor and headed to T's whiting spot. After another hour or so no whitting but we got on to a few quality bream.

Moved on to another of T's haunts to try and target what we were chasing and again a few more bream and one whiting. Water was very dirty from all the rain and around 12 noon we saw the chocolate thick wave of mud coming towards us on the outgoing tide.

We decided to call it a day all in all 9 bream and 1 whitting, we released about 12 bream ranging from 23 to 25 cm's and a fair few unders including 5 whiting, 1 catfish (nice one T) a moses perch, shovel nose shark and a just legal flattie.

Choice of bait was live worms, on # 4 long shanks hooks with the red plastic tube. Can't say it worked for whiting but bream seem to love them.

Hey T, next time if we target bream we might come home with a feed of whiting lol. Thanks for a top day out, it was good to catch bream again. I thought i would have been sick of them as that's pretty much all I have ever caught over my last 25 years of fishing. Just goes to show plenty of options at the pin and it was still a buzz on the light gear.

I still prefer the snap snap's mate but as you suggested we will try a night time fish for bream closer to winter.

Thanks Again T and a couple of photos of the catch.

Nice going Peter. Targeting Bream and whiting is probably the smart thing to do when dealing with this weather we have been dealt of late. Good to see you taking the time out to do what you enjoy doing.

Cheers,

Finga...when bream have been caught from nice clean sand like the ones off the beach they are up there with one of the best eating fish around.
My family is very fussy with what fish they eat and my wife was a snapper,pealie and sweetlip only woman.....But she absolutely loves the bream off the beach.

When you clean them the flesh is so clean off the beach.....I love eating them.
BUT I think it may be a different story when they have been in muddy rivers for a while.

Good to see a sensible approach to a relaxing trip between two mates - nothing wrong with a feed of bream from the pin Pete. The snap snaps like the rougher water of th bay where belting your way through the slop gets a little monotonous at times.
One week to go before I go back to work - who knows, the wind might have me doing similar.

Well done on the catch, nice to see a post from the legendary GW.:D

LOL Pete! Yes, those Whiting spots were reserved for TINN after his 'Elbow Slapper' no shows last week - you substituted nicely for him... Although, i did call the last spot a bream spot - and produced accordingly! I really have to find 'that' whiting spot soon...

Still, it was entertaining getting a few breambo's and hope you enjoyed the feed. And it was a very enjoyable trip too!!

Take Care T

You fellas had the right idea avoiding the lumpy conditions around the bay islands and managing to put together a little feed.

Cheers Chris

Good catch fellas, what you should have a try on is the bream on plastics.A heap more fun and the buggers can get quite aggressive on the surface. Garrett has showed me a lot and I don't mind the style of fishing.I'm hooked,Cheers

Scalem, still a week off work !!!!! lets get out there ;D

Poodroo we we targeting whiting but hey a feeds a feed, hows the new boat going ?


Thanks Adrain, have you been out lately ?


"hey i like the sponsored boat" Greg, I felt like I was in a bream comp with mad dog Royter :P


Hey finga, I will save you the catties from now on :o and I keep telling you it's a mercedes wheel.

I need to get a hand model mine are too big, makes my fish look small, but you know what they say about people with big hands...........

They have a big mouth........ where did you think I was going with that :o

Thanks to all the other replies, and it just goes to show you can still get a buzz out of the little fish and some good company. P.S T1 you were my second choice too lol, Herm had to look after the girls :-* Still can't get over how few worms you get for $20 I am in the wrong business::)
