Fishing for Whiting at Caloundra

With hot summer days, night fishing for Whiting becomes a great option. In this episode we head to Caloundra, on the Sunshine Coast to chase a feed of the popular table fish.
Using bloodworms for bait and our trusty Alvey Reels matched to Gary Howard Breambo rods we get stuck into a few.

[@WL_Outdoors]

Thanks Chris - Merry Christmas to you too!

[@shaneyule3484]

Shit Yeah, whippy Snyders and Alvey's. Now thats fishing.

[@WL_Outdoors]

It never gets old

[@davidhounslow7845]

Man old school whiting fishing love it. Well done. Any hints on where you get your blood worms from 😁😁😁

[@WL_Outdoors]

Thanks, David. It never gets old - still one my favourite forms of fishing by far. Lots of low tide exploration is the key to finding a good patch of bloodworms.

[@dingydate]

Hi Will, Merry Christmas mate, i was wondering if your Dad did camera work for Steve Morgan at one time ? i had a fish with Will Lee bream fishing the GOLD COAST MANY YEARS AGO.

[@WL_Outdoors]

Merry Christmas, Chris! Dad wrote for QFM for 10 years between ‘96 and ‘06. Did we really? Did we catch any bream? 🤣

[@dingydate]

Yes mate,this was back when the brite yellow dye for plastics had just been released, now if the story is correct you had a bottle on your bed and the story was it did spill, so the bed had a nice GARLIC as well. @@WL_Outdoors

[@narniakaos]

where is the best spot to find blood worms around the Caloundra area

[@WL_Outdoors]

I dig mine closer to home in Brisbane but I’m sure there would be spots in the northern Passage

[@narniakaos]

ok what type of terrain am i looking for. plenty of seagrass beds up here... is that my target area.@@WL_Outdoors

[@Nick-qj4gy]

Do you dig the worms from up there as well?

[@WL_Outdoors]

No, I dig them around Brisbane only for convenience's sake. I have heard of people digging them in the passage.

[@peterrichter3145]

Grunter 31 ?.

[@WL_Outdoors]

Hi Peter, I'm assuming your comment is around the legal-size limit? The fish we caught in this clip are Silver Javelin or Small Spotted Grunter and have a minimum size of 30cm. Their close relative (which is also caught in the passage), the Barred Javelin or Spotted Grunter need to be 40cm.

[@phonghuynh8702]

Where did you buy the worms? May i please have address of the shop , thank a lot !

[@WL_Outdoors]

We dug these ones ourselves but I know Caloundra Fishing World sells them at times.

[@shanevillis4079]

So what's the idea behind using the Alvey's??

[@WL_Outdoors]

I love them. Good for casting lightly weighted baits, nice slow retrieve and you can easily feed line back to a fish when it bites.

@@WL_Outdoors Thanks mate
