[rexy]

hey i have a question- after a recent trip to clontarf dad and i bagged a handfull of what we thought were winteries- clear black blotches all down there sides and back.

then my uncle gives us a rev saying that because they have yellow fins they are summaries....

so i grab grants and it says the only distinguishign feature are the blotches... but my uncles (who was getting worked up about it) reckons the bolthces were beacuse of their habitiat...

sooooo- whos right?

if a whiting has yellow fins is it a summery? or do winteries have yellow fins too and black blotches????

if anyone could post proof so i could email it to him, it would be great.

if im wrong, sorry for taking little summeries!

[pcsolutionman]

mainly 3 type of whiting up here-winter silver,black blotches,summer silver,golden-lined silver,with yellow anal and ventral fins.

cheers

I've caught a few winteries to around 32cm around mud island so i'd think that it would be possible to catch a 40cm one.

Also we've caught hundreds of winter whiting at mud but never a summer whiting, i think its a completely different environment to what their used to.

[ellicat]

I'm tipping a winter whiting - did anyone feel the temperature today?!!:silly:

[Gad]

wiseguy,on those 3 types of whiting,golden-lined whiting have a legal size of 23cm,like summer whiting

cheers

[wiseguy]

cheers m8

Never paid the head shape much attention. What's the differences ? Are some more sloped than others ??

[bootyinblue]

so have we worked out who is 'whiting' and who is 'whonging' in all this yet?

[Gad]

sorry booty,don`t know anything about the Bejing stock market??????

[rexy]

the whiting had all the blotches as a wintery

and i caught another about 10 cms shorter so 30 cms but was after one more to make a good feed so let them go

[rexy]

yeah mate no worries dont care what ever i dont have to prove anything was just passing on what happened

[rexy]

dont no just passing on what happened

relax jack,opinions are like bums,everyones got one...if it was a wintery good stuff,but either way buck its a good whiting..

[rayke1938]

Just did a google on winter whiting and came up with following link on a survey done in 1995 in moreton Bay largest winterie went 43cm so they are definatly out there.

yes it is mate and didnt really think about it that much, but i no what whiting look like both summer and winter no worries thats cool might think about sharing any imfo from no on

[James W]

its all good guys..its all good...

we all love fishing:)

[rexy]

i still stand by what i caught and i have no worries with the disbeleviers. one day they will be able to say they got a 40 cm winter whiting .

[ellicat]

I reckon the scepticism is only testament to how good and rare a catch it was.:woohoo:

Can't say I've seen one even close to that size.

[rexy]

thanks for that comment not here to tell lies just to pass on what i caught on the day

and to have a nice time talking to fellow fish catchers.just a pity we have to put up

with a few people that seem to know all.

i will sleep good tonight... suck eggs ..

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[rexy]

it was a winter whiting mate very easy to tell

and summer whiting caught them too while i was in a fishing club for 8 years

[Woodlaz]
