queensland any tips for whiting around southern moreton bay islands

[Huxstang]

Mate and I are looking at heading further south than normal tomorrow to escape the likely 10-15knot slop that a trip over to the sandhills would bring based on forecast.

Was thinking of hiding in and around Coochie and Macleay area to escape the wind and see if we can pick up a feed of whiting.

Anyone got some starting areas we can have a poke around please?

 

Thanks

Nibble tips are my tip!

Live yabbies and worms work well for sand whiting. Anchor up and fish the edges of banks. Should be a chance of some bycatch using live yabbies.

Enjoy!

How'd you go, @Huxstang ?

I couldn't think of a response yesterday, but I launched at Viccy Point today and remembered when the kids were little we used to catch a few straight across from the ramp pretty much. That sand beach on the southside of Coochie. You need to be careful to ensure you have a path out at low tide.

As for today's conditions, the wind was turning on and off throughout the day with a windy start. Not too choppy between Peel and Macleay. Only 1 keeper, though. The sharks were there again, too.

Wind was up and couldnt be assed so we ended up just tossing plastics at Coochie artificial and then down at the bottom end of Mcleay in the hole.  Ended up with a few squire and an undersized jew.  Dropped a stonker bream at the side of the boat trying a lift in.

Did you use your livescope ? Did it help a lot ?

Nope, didnt fire it up at all.  Used it at POB, bloody crazy where you can see the bait fish rising at your plastic.
