I will be interested to see if anyone takes on the challenge of a popper caught whiting ;)

Challenge accepted... I've been meaning to try out a little 40mm clear popper for a while now.

In saying that we had our third child 2 weeks ago so fishing may be off the cards :baby:

Congratulations on the new born :)

A couple of years ago I had great success with 25 - 30mm shallow divers and poppers on whiting sight casting from the kayak in a foot or so of water as the tide ran in over the sand flats in Ningi creek. I found if the lure was any bigger - not a touch. Had to keep it moving to, if it stopped for any length of time they must of got a good enough look to realise it was dodgy and they would swim away.

Thanks @ellicat very easy to understand and simple logical steps for those of us (probably just me) who don't know the basics of targeting a specific species. As much as I like to think I'm no beginner and have plenty of experience, I don't take things too seriously when heading out and generally just bait up and cast without much thought of rig style... If I catch them I win which means I'm never disappointed. But saying that I'm not one to sit idle and I am wanting to learn and set goals for myself - and achieve them! This is undoubtedly why I am the master of Bream (easily pleased and not fussy like myself).

Hey all,

Only a couple of days left for your last minute entries into this months competition.

Any Whiting caught on bait from a boat or landbased will win a free lure at this stage so it's up to you :)

Remember those #6's and Good Luck

Madmic

Yeah typical after I realized we never got another whiting at straddy. Plenty of fish just no tings! typical! 

Looking forward to seeing next species!
