BLOWIES !!!
Submitted by timbo2410 on Fri, 2020-04-17 17:27
Anybody else encounter schools of blowies Myalup way? Went out a few weeks back and setup for an evening/night fish. Caught a few whiting and set them up as live bait .. they would last about 20 minutes .. so then tried a set of gangs to see if i could catch whatever it was .. all i got back was a cleaned out whiting skull .. even into the brain cavity ... musta been blowies surely .. never known anything else to chew a fresh whiting that fast

Ever seen what sea lice can do to a fish . Blowies probably wouldn't have left a cleaned out skull

Pickers at their best
Just spent three nights on the beach was having the same problem.
Any bait was getting destroyed by tarwhine/silver bream small whiting and blowies.
Even live herring were getting smashed made for very difficult fishing.
Old fishermen never die they just smell that way.
