went out to the bay to fish around the beacons today. weather was great with waters nearly glassed out. fished for around 3 hrs using prawns, pillies and slugs. ended up catching 2 undersize school mackeral and 2 legal ones at 55cm. also got around 100 whiting. good day out with a good feed for the family.

thanks for reading

we just use bait jigs with bait on it. around 2-3 hooks. prawns cut out to same size as corn. works a charm

[mick2me]

Great feed hai-ho love the whiting fillets and good to see a few more macks showing up in the bay but just for the mackerel next time cut there throat and bleed them helps with

the eating quality.

Booty they look like diver or winter whitting they don't have a size limit but have a bag of 50 perperson

[Genesis]

Nice one hai. Just out of curiousity, how do your family usually cook the whiting?

[Surfingant]

Good feed there Hai, enjoy that one

[haines490slc]

that is a lot of whiting, what is the bag limit for them?

[eg_vtec]

Nice one hai. Just out of curiousity, how do your family usually cook the whiting?

my parents usually does asian meals with them which are great. i dont really know how to explain to be honest lol

[eg_vtec]

that is a lot of whiting, what is the bag limit for them?

they have no size limit but do have bag limit of 50 per person. we had three on our boat.

[haines490slc]

that is a sweet haul man, where did you get them? Whiting are so good

[eg_vtec]

we got the whiting drifting around mud. theres abit out there atm. just need to find the right school because there is alot of other peckers around as well.

[waldo]

Good one I'd take the whiting over the macks any day, but like the others gee they can be a pain cleaning them wehn you get a good haul so worth it though

[Carter]

well done :cheer:

[jimjim]

nice catch mate schoolies are very thick in northern part of the bay at the moment, but spotties have not arrived. Spanos reported in good numbers around noosa as they feed on schoolies not long boys get your halcos ready or troll your schoolies. i think what people are hinting at in the pics that you have a mix of winter and summer whiting winteries defined by there spots, we all no the size and bag limits for both sorts they look like winter whiting to me. Enjoy your feed mate.

nice one mate, thats a solid school mack! plus the winter whiting are so good on the chew, managed afew myself.
