Hi All
I couldn't be bothered pumping yabbies these days so I cut up thin squid strips and marinate them for a couple of days in tuna oil and aniseed and it works very well. Does anyone have any other concocctions that work as I would be interested to finding other brews?
I use thin squid strips too Kahla, I don't bother "marinating" them though. Just scrap off the skin, clean them and cut the tube into strips about 6 to 8 mm wide.Originally Posted by kahla_creek
Last trip out my mate bought some peeled cooked prawns and they seem to like them a lot.
Cheers

throw some red food die in with your marinate
tings love red
neil
go the beach worms
I have always had luck on peeled Prawn and Squid strips on those shy Whiting although I've also had some following the Berkley Gulp Sandworm in Natural....
Cheers
Mate I use strips of squid and then give it a light bash with a meat hammer to tenderise it and the chinese fish (whiting) love it and i is soft for them to inhale.

hey mate, peeled prawns is the go and make sure ya use a very small hook,doesn't have to be a long shank either,and fish 2 hrs before high tide,this usually does the trick.
Tried berkley sandworms in bloody for the first time this year with a little squid teaser at the base of the hook, no marinade just the squid. Well I never, these things were DYNAMITE. I've used the real bloodworms, sandworms etc but these things just blew me away, I can't wait to give them a whirl in the surf at Moreton in a couple of months.

Iv found live blood worms work well, they stay on the hook and they whiting luv em.

Thats all good advice,but and there is a big but-if you after big whiting use soldier crabs in bunches of 2-3 .You'll be pleased .

Used Berkley gulp last weekend, worms in red and pumpkin. Also used the shrimps caught over 20 in two hours.
I ma interested in how plastic worms are used? I have some, but cant for the life of me figure out how to make them work. What size and type jighead do you use
?
thats the black sodlier crabs not blue ones. Am i correct?
Never had much luck with them myself
neil
dont use a jighead just use your standard whiting rig (ie running sinker, swivel, trace ) and thread them onto your normal hook. it helps to leave a bit dangling off the end of the hook.
