Ray, get a grip on reality. You have not discovered a new species
A Proud Member of
"The Rebel Alliance"
Summer Mowong Whiting perhaps
Who needs more than 30 livies anyway???
Bugga
This is a Sand Whiting aka Yellowfin Whiting, Summer Whiting. They grow larger than the rest and are often found in shallower water.

The Diver Whiting, aka Winter Whiting only grows to not much more than a handspan and has dark blotches the length of its body.
Have a good look between this picture and the collection of pictures above in the google search link.

Golden-lined whiting look more like a Sand whiting except for size and they have a more rainbow-esque sheen on their flanks.
Why would you even want to keep 80 whiting in one outing on your own ???
[QUOTE=solemandownunder;1501276]VERY good point Rob...and I have no problems with that..
At the end of the day, despite the idiots that try to crucify rather than help, I still believe my question is valid.
Bit rich coming from you after your recent performance on another thread when someone forgot oil.......
Just saying..........
If you cant be 100% sure what you are catching dont keep them.
To feed me 26 granchillun and me brothers cousins niece AND HER family of 13 under nourished kids...
Fair point but......you asked, so I will explain....
As WELL as the many fine people that Kerri & I work with including a lot of people who dont have the physical abilities or funds anymore to actually enjoy some healthy, freshly caught fish....we also give a bit to our local BCF lady who has just had a minor stroke/heart attack ( fresh fish is good for this ), the local DHL guy that delivers our stock, the Aus Post guy who delivers our miscellanious orders from interstate, a friend who lives west of Brissy and doesnt get to fish in salt water because of his job commitments - but LOVES fresh seafood for him & his family etc, etc....
We give away a lot of what we catch, BECAUSE we CAN...and I guess that means that while we able to help others to lifes' little pleasures, then THEY get that small extra enjoyment that they would otherwise not have, given their personal circumstances.
Hell.....we even still have 1 whole snapper left atm, kindly donated to us at one point by another fisho here.
So, WE dont want for much, but the others want even less....a tasty morsel here & there can brighten someones day sometimes....
Ray & Kerri.
[QUOTE=Still_Dreamin;1501490]jus MAYBE I learnt something from that SD....ever think of that
THANKS for that mattooty.....it would seem from the links you have posted, that no matter WHAT the dorsal......BLOTCHES & Black spot pecs are the definitive answer to identify WINTER/Diver whiting.
and THAT was all I was wanting to know
CHEERS, Ray.
It's the small wins in life....
Its good that you help out others in need..
But maybe you should spend your time looking for Mackeral, AJs, YTK, Taylor.. you will be able to feed a lot more they what you get from whiting..
I also give away a lot of fish I catch, But I don't feel the need to keep a bag of every species I catch... just because by law I can.
Fair enough....but I DO...horses fer courses I guess.
The whole aim of this thread was to do what is correct by ALL fisherpeople & lawmakers alike WITHOUT breaking the rules...so to speak.
I am happy to catch bag limit after bag limit, IF those fish can be utilised and consumed by those around me.
For ur info FF...I am now turning my attentions to duskys & cobia.....MORE flesh to go around, so to speak.
Thanks for your help in this thread mate, most appreciated.
Cheers, Ray.
