Whiting Bash - ru 12 mug - 22-06-2009
went and dug some mud worms on saturday arvo for an early morning whiting session.
got down to the harbour at about 5.15am and tossed out a couple of lines but didn't wait too long before the first rod bends over and in comes an elbow slapper sand whiting...woohoo!! then another..then another and so on till I had 5 elbow slaper whiting before daylight.
once daylight hit the diver whiting went nutso and I got stuck fair into them and double headres was nothing out of the ordinary.
pulled the pin at 8.00am to take the daughter to hockey but left them chewing and had 39 whiting for my effort.
5 elbow slapper sand whiting and 34 diver whiting...divers are no 1 snapper bait here in the bay but some of them were big enough to go into the fillet bowl for crumbed whiting.

nice work mate! i havent done a morning session for ages, cant wake up in winter days <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' />never really targeted whiting, do they bite well in late avro/early evening? and what tide would be the best to fish for them?
Whiting Bash - ru 12 mug - 22-06-2009
I got those fish in the early morning with a making tide on mud worms.

nice work
i prefer to chase whiting on the beach during summer.
it's sooo much easier to pull beach worms than to dig mud worms.
well done
Whiting Bash - ru 12 mug - 22-06-2009
not bloody wrong there mate...the thought of going down the beach and catching a pile of beach worms is less painful.

Whiting Bash - ru 12 mug - 28-06-2009

nice work! are mud worms same as earth worms?
Whiting Bash - ru 12 mug - 15-07-2009
no Glenn they are not , mud worms you dig on the mud flats at low water and are the number 1 bait for whiting but they can also be preserved just like beach worms in metho.

Whiting Bash - glen - 16-07-2009
ah ok thanks. but wouldn't the metho scare away the fish? <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':th' />
Whiting Bash - ru 12 mug - 16-07-2009
metho is fine to use , just dont try using turps or something like that.
I've been preserving worms in metho for years and they still work fine if not a little better as it tuffens the worms up a bit and makes it harder for the fish to pull it off your hook.
I've caught fish from whiting to mullaway (jew) on preserved worms so dont be scared to use them.
all you are doing to a worm by killing it in metho is pickling it.

Whiting Bash - glen - 17-07-2009
hi ru12mug,
so do you leave it in the metho until you use them for fishing?
or do you just give them a quick soak in methylated spirits and then store them separately?
cheers, glen

Hi all,
Sorry i know this is quite an old thread but it fascinated me while i was looking for info on whiting. Can you use earthworms for them??? and will it work if i stuck them in a container of tequila <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/whistling.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wh' />
Also on whiting, has anyone tried the small little beaches along frankston to mornington lately. i recently looked at one, but it was in the middle of the day and thought, hmm... maybe at dawn?<img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Hey sid, how did you go?<img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
' /> I stopped by mornington pier today. I sure cant wait till it's open again. Tried for fish and squid. no luck, lots of people, and apparently lots of coudas, is why the squid's not showing up <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='

Whiting Bash - xALmoN - 13-08-2011
so what can you do to catch those coudas?
Whiting Bash - squidlet31 - 14-08-2011
yeah, i was thinking the same... can you eat coudas???
Whiting Bash - xALmoN - 16-08-2011
i reckon you can, but whether they taste good.
Whiting Bash - Puggy - 20-08-2011
If you mean barracouta they are tasty but often the models 1 metre + are plauged with worms. A good fun setup is to use SP outfits with light braid and 20Ib mono leader you could use flurocarbon but its more expensive. Metal lures are the go.
Whiting Bash - redkaiser - 10-12-2011
barracouta, oh hell, boney fish and they always got worms in their flesh. taste not really bad, but, you know, boney and worms.
they love shining things, metal lures as Puggy suggested, or you even catch them on a piece of foil easily. when I was in TAS, I couldnt get away from them, in some water, they just bite everything on hook, even a shining hook self.
