Submitted by King Spinner on Wed, 2018-01-03 07:22
G’day guys,
Does anyone know where the whiting are biting at the moment ?
And what technique are you using ? Iv heard some people swear by using surface lures and others say live prawns or worms. Also day or night ?
Thanks in advance guys

boat or shore based ?
in a boat- anywhere you can find sandy areas, and then work your way around until you find them
yes, there is a keen group of anglers now chasing whiting on poppers inshore, and even in the river(s) in the vicinty of Perth
These whiting popper-anglers are, I believe only in shallow, wade-able water depths
go to your local (decent) tackle store and ask them

Whiting Popping...
...best places are Peel/Harvey (Mandurah) or Leschenault (Bunbury/Australind) inlets, with the Swan a viable, but tougher option. PM me if you want to follow up on this!

Lures
Barra,
For poppers anzthing in the 50-70mm range is ok, stuff like a sugarpen.
Anything clear usually does better, clear with a tinge of pink at the moment is the go probably due to the large number of prawns in the river, so match the hatch.
Usually run a heavier fluro leader as you want the lure to track dead straight, something like 12-15lb.
Go with a constant retrieve, if that doesn't work maybe look to change it up a bit. If it's really calm a walk the dog style might be the go.
Best of luck!

Chicken
I've found a running sinker rig with lightest weight as possible, size 10 long shank hook with chicken, works well. Hillary's Marina and fishing beaches are good spots.

Try using a smaller hook. I usually use a size 6 or smaller for sand whiting
