i went out thursday to moreton on my own due to the bad forecast on the weekend
i used 4 plastic worms for 103 whiting, but the quality was down on the previous week, left manly at 7am, returned at midday, great morning,had to return to go to work:'( , then only had time to clean the boat, had a mate come around when i arrived home from work to help fillet them, he was happy with his wages, half the fillets, i pay decent wages,lol

Yep, 103 whiting sounds a lot, but once filleted and cooked, they'd be like fish fingers, so an average bloke could probably eat a dozen in a sitting with chips etc.
Were they decent size ?

G'day RobSue,

Good catch there mate and a few nice meals too.

Out of curiosity what waqs the plastic worms you had such good success on?

I have been toying with the idea of them instead of bloodworms for the past two weeks and was thinking of next weekend having a shot with some.

Yes what was the miracle worms being used????? I can trade you some magic beans for the miracle worms:). Seriously am considering heading down the nerang for a fish for some whiting as this forecast wind is going to make most things shite....... Wouldnt be to many feeds out of 103 whitings for a family.

Hey Rob,
I ended up going out the front yesterday arvo, was out for about two hours and got bugger all.... I only had a few small hits.
Maybe we will get some good weather next week end and we can get out and get some whiting.
Marty.

the quality of the whiting wasnt great, ended up with 4.5 kg of fillets, as i said earlier i gave my mate half for helping with the filleting..........
no photos, firstly i dont know how to put them on here, mobile doesnt take the best photos, and secondly they were only whiting....
i used berkley gulp sandworm variety, week before i used the nuclear chicken type.........
there were another 5 boats out where i was, four of them asians, who were there before me and still there when i left , with 4 on most boats, so they would have had heaps................

i usually use swivel, with a running sinker to the hook, and drift, after they stopped biting where i originally was, i moved to where the other boats were, they were anchored and using a paternoster rig, sinker on the bottom, two hooks above, so i changed to their method, 9 out of ten fish were caught on the bottom hook.....hope this helps
