Great fishong fellows i fish our nothern flats at the top of Gulf St Vincent for yellowfin both on surface and mainly on the bottom ,same rig as you use my preferred hooks are mustad aberdeen in size 2 with beach worms .
The rocky/rubbly foreshores around Redcliffe are a good place to start. All you need is a pitch fork and be ready to put in the hard yards. Low tide is the go and this time of year, you will generally see others out and about digging them.
Yep, the snot weed has definitely cleared up now it’s getting warmer. And Yabbies are okay for a mixed bag but certainly not as good as blood worms if Whiting are what you are after.
Hi Eddie, the channel that we are casting into there is between 1m to 2m. I like to slowly start winding to feel the weight before striking to set the hook.
I run 60-80cm of 6lb leader between the hook and the swivel. I then put a size 1 ball sinker above the swivel with a 6lb mainline. A bit of red tube between the hook and the swivel doesn’t hurt either.
Great to see you and your dad catching fish, great content and commentary
It’s always nice spending some time with the old boy out on the water!
Great vid boys..Now I'm going fishing lol
Cheers Craig! I hope you got stuck into them 🎣
Love Whiting! Can you give a little more detail on your Waverunner setup please. It looks like a good compromise between walking and boating. Cheers!

That sounds like a lot of fun, John
Nice champ. I loved those whitings.
They sure are delicious
I see that you're using the red plastic tube. We used to do that in the 80's.
It still works a treat 👍🏼
That was a pleasure to watch. Would have only been better if you were using alveys and 9’ rods. What mono you using as your main line?
I don’t disagree Jason, nothing beats the old sloppy Joe and Alvey combo! I had 6lb Shimano Exage on my reel. I’m glad you enjoyed the video 👍🏼
How do you get blood worms & in what sort of area do you dig for them?

Great catch, i guess the snot weed has gone now?, and shame they dont bite like that on yabbies.

What depth water are you casting into? Is there a trick to the strike?
Cheers

Thanks, I'm heading out tomorrow from Caloundra down the passage. Haven't had much luck on the whiting yet
Nice one Eddie! I hope you get into ‘em 🎣
What rig are you running, Will?

G'day mate is this at meldale
Further up the passage towards Coochin.
Do you buy your worms?
Nope, dig them ourselves.
