Winter Whiting Fun

[Tinn]

After a non-eventful mission out with fellow Ausfisher T1 on friday night at the Brisbane river chasing those King salmon (Sorry T1 no Salmon for you this week ) decided to go have some fun with the family for some winter whiting. It was my sons first winter whiting trip so he had alot to learn but it didn't take him to long to get the hang of it. I was catching them and he was throwing all the small ones back. At one stage he was even throwing the big ones back little rat got his hands in the esky and before you know it bye bye fishy anyhow he had fun so that is all that matters.

Ended up catching 40 nice whiting and the family had a nice time.

I also tried those 5" berkley gulp shads in watermelon for some flathead no luck they got smashed as soon as they hit the water. Pulled my line in no plastic left just a litle around the hook. Try another the same result try a different plastic same I finally worked out that it was tailor smashing the plastic. Didn't mange to catch any will take some gang hooks and pillies next time.

Until next mission happy reading

Great to see the kid had fun. Cheers Steve

White_Steenbras: I will give you a hint don't ask T1 about hints on winter whiting as he dosen't even want to see them. They appear to small for him after catching his king salmon he is spoilt now. T1: every fish will look small from now on after catching that King Salmon poor T1 will never be happy from now on doesn't matter how big the fish he catches is. It will always be "that's not as big as my salmon I caught"
