whats the bait of choice for the big ones down the goldy? Here on the sunshine coast we use soldier crabs in the lower reaches of the rivers and bloodworms in the upper reaches. Interested to hear if its the same down there? i have heard some places down there they prefer live prawns?

Nice whiting there - hope I do as well tonight.

Youngy,

Blinky here mate...

Youngy, I can't get over the size of those Tings

For most a 40+ fish is a milestone and you get 4

Nice work

that one went 650 gr got a 44cm one 700 gr today, they are a little bit skinny at this time of year because they have finished spawning i have 6 here over 40 cm to take to Dave Downie's seminar if anyone wants to see them.

i use bloodworms for my Whiting fishing the prawns you refer to are what we call jelly prawns and they work terrific and when i am to old to dig bloodworms i will be useing them as they are the next best bait for big Whiting IMO.
Cheers Wayne.
