Vines Creek last Sunday

[Try Hard]

Hey all,
Me and Joel fished the run out tide at Vines creek for a bit of success. Nailed about 5 nice whiting on bubble pops early in the sesh, shortly folowed by a bream each of surface bugs in the bloodworm colour. stoked to get a few small bream on surface, caught a few small flathead and an estuary cod. I dropped a small Giant Herring on the first jump just before pick up on a 3 inch swimming mullet in pumpkinseed.
enjoy the pics,
cheers aye

Nice job fella's....that Whiting on poppers id becoming more & more popular everyday!! I can't wait to give it a try!!

What sort of retrieve to you guys use for those poppers?

Look like some good fun guys

[Try Hard]

thanks aye,
Talina, i like to pop the lure twice per second so its got a constant spray coming off the face, i also find that if you pause the popper when you see a whiting fired up behind it, it tends to put them off. i dont know why? Incredible to get em on surface but, contradicts everything i've learned as an angler!!

check this for a horse whiting on a popper! went 40cm on the tape


cheers again aye

Cheers

From memory that Sooty came in at 52cm and ate a gold Mad Mullet in the Eungella timber.

Giant Herring turn up occasionally on the beaches around here, look for bait schools that hug the shoreline. At times we would get small ones at the bottom of the Gooseponds after the first flush starts to die down.
