This was an awesome session out with my dad, fishing for one of our favorite species, the humble Sand Whiting. We launched at Donnybrook and headed North. Spring and into early Summer is a fantastic time to fish Pumicestone Passage for Whiting with reports of fish from Bribie right up to Caloundra. Bloodworms were the bait that did the damage on the day!!!
Gear used…
Rod: Silstar Powertip
Reel: Shimano Sienna 2500
Hooks: True Turn Baitholder Size 4

It’s always nice spending some time with the old boy out on the water!

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!

I see that you're using the red plastic tube. We used to do that in the 80's.

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 👍🏼

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

@WL_Outdoors 9 ай бұрын

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.

Further up the passage towards Coochin.

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

@WL_Outdoors 11 ай бұрын

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.

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?

@WL_Outdoors 11 ай бұрын

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.

Do you buy your worms?

@WL_Outdoors 3 ай бұрын

Nope, dig them ourselves.

Is there any good spots at Toorbul without a boat?

@WL_Outdoors 4 ай бұрын

I’m not too sure about Toorbul but there definitely is some good land based spots near the mouth of Coochin, particularly if you are prepared to wade out a little.
