Whiting in N QLD

[kingkev]

I know the whiting are about to start biting up here in N Qld. Just wondering the best times to target them. Early mornings or late afternoons. In-coming tides or out going tides.

All advice will be appreciated

From the minimal experience I have chasing them up here, an incoming tide seems to be best. If you can get one in the early morning, it seems better.

One of the northern beaches has produced a few for me following that. Which reminds me I should get back up there and chase a few....

I tried Palaranda beach on the weekend with incoming tides. Worked hard for 1 keeper. Maybe next month

[Fishin_Dan]

I will have to get up there and give em a go. If you're keen Kev, come along. Especially with the wind looking like it is at the moment...

My last trip there was hard work too.

[kingkev]

Is it true that on Pallaranda beaches the zoning means that only 1 rod with 1 hook???

[Scott nthQld]

yeah kev, even when landbased only one line one hook off Pallerenda. IF you feel like a drive, I've had great success from Toomulla beach on an outgoing tide.

Thanks Scott. Didn't want to go too far. Wife is expecting a child any day now.

I need to do the right thing.............

In that case Kev, you could try down around the boat ramp at the national park in Railway Estate. There have been some reports of a few being caught there.

there's a little landbased spot on stoney creek off the Bohle that I visit that always gives up a feed or 2 on an incoming tide. Also ok for small but legal grunter.

Thanks Dan

if you get a chance come down to alva beach(lynch beach) good land spot also for the mrs and kids . yabbies at the southern end but just fish straight of where you park the car . 50 to a hundred in a session is quite common any how just follow all the grey nomads who drive up from victoria every year to catch them. they are just starting to arrive now in numbers, a lot a bit small yet but as soon as we have a few of those cold S W winds the whiting will be in by the bucketful's . i am so glad there bringing in bag limits on them though at present there numbers are as strong as ever but when you see pros dragging out 4 tonne at a time you just have to wonder.

Mate if your up for a drive then head on up to toomulla, get there just on the incoming tide and work the bars between saltwater creek and campoven creek. I fish it quite regularly with a mate who lives there and i cant think of one trip that i have gone bad on, we bring atleast 20 in each time. We fish it anytime of the day, night time doesnt produce.

[kingkev]

Is that landbased Gilli ?????????????

[Taipan]

I'll be keen for a trip chasing a few whiting
