Which species to target
Submitted by the_lane on Mon, 2020-01-06 13:21
Hi All,
Hope you had a good xmas and new year.
I am getting used to the new boat and exploring the sound from woodies. Not brave enough to out beyond the islands yet.
I have been having plenty of success nailing squid over the parmelia bank, however whenever I drop any baited hooks on a waiting rig; I get nailed by blowies and trumpeter right away. Also got a few baby pink snapper.
Which species should I be targetting this side of garden island and what rigs/techniques should I learn?

King George Whiting
Look for sand holes in the ribbon weed, try and fish the edges, both south end of the Sound and also where the old mussel beds used to be at the northern end near garden island. Squid pieces and small paternoster

I used to fish Parmelia bank
I used to fish Parmelia bank a lot, but only ever fished with a burley cage and unweighted bait to avoid the blowies etc. Used to nail heaps of Herring and good Skippy.
Love the West!
