Hussey whiting boxing day

I hit Hussey Creek again today chasing whiting. Launched at Roys at 6am and headed straight to hussey for the last 2 hours of run out for some popper work, only 3 half hearted swipes at the popper with no connection.
Dug some mud worms and waited for the turn of the tide before feeding them out.
Ended up with 22 whiting from 28cm to 41cm, the majority larger than 33cm.
Oddly all the tings were on top of the sand banks today, nothing up the creek where I get the bigger ones usually. Side catch of catties and grunter away from the sand banks.
Total of about 4 hours fishing bait.

Quality mate!

Great feed there Tony.

Super effort

Very nice Tony

That's quality right there. Nice one Tony. Can almost taste them.

What a great lot of Whiting.

Oddly enough there wasn't anyone else in the creek chasing tings.
About 8 boats roared past full noise each way, one within 5 metres of me.
One boat snuck past respectfully he got a wave.
I presume the rest went after jacks returning back within about 3 hours each.

Oddly enough there were lots of mullet 4 to 8 inches in the creek, never see that during jack season normally.

Nice fishing there mate. Good to see some crackers there

Bloody good result Tony ��

Good stuff Tony

Good darts mate

yummo top catch love a feed of them buggers

Good on ya Tony, you just screwed my plans for tonight, I was going to get into the rum and have a very rare sleep in tomorrow morning, now, I am out packing the boat to hit Ningi at 5.00 tomorrow morning , good fishing by the way

Good luck tomorrow Ron, there should be some good tings up near the rock bars by now.

Should have stayed in bed mate, one whiting 36cm , one spotted javelin 33cm , 2000 bream under 20cm , 4 blue spot rays and a little stargazer. One thing I am noticing with the rays you catch in Ningi Ck lately , some of the poor buggers have had their tails cut off, I hate that, 2 of the 4 we caught this morning had the treatment , poor buggers must suffer for it, the might only be stingrays but they do a job for the ecosystem and should be left whole so they can do it, anyway time for that rum :36_002:

Soon as you dig those blood worms for me I'll be there

Something I can’t do is dig bloodworms.
