How to Catch BIG Whiting off ANY BEACH - Baits, Rigg and Location (ft Whiting and Bream)

[@seancub3]

Thanks for this, it's actually useful for novices

[@flacksfishingadventures1199]

Cheers, bud. I know what you're saying. There is no point showing someone an awesome fish if you don't show them how to catch it. We were all beginners at some point 😃

One for the algo. Cheers mate, love a beach chuck

Love proper Aussies fishing shows ..great work mate

[@flacksfishingadventures1199]

Cheers, mate. Appreciate the support 🤙

[@flacksfishingadventures1199]

Do you think it helps the algorithm if I leave a comment on my own videos ? 😮😂

[@chrismo2922]

Like your style mate. Can't beat good old school fishing, collect your own worms and yabbies, takes me back to simpler times.

[@chrismo2922]

But should be using an alvey mate.

[@flacksfishingadventures1199]

Cheers, bud. I appreciate your support 👍

[@fishmut]

Nice little waves for beginner surfing other wise they are very hopeful for the big waves lol, nice whiteing as well ,yum.👍 oh alvey reels are the go for beach fishing , if you drop it in the sand they are easy washed off with no effect unlike the egg beater reals bigger problems , happy fishing.

[@flacksfishingadventures1199]

Cheers mate, yeah the surf gets pumping at times

[@chrispoly5020]

Love your work matey 🎣

[@outdooraussie6355]

Nice work mate. Subbed. You fish similar to me. I'm heading West soon and I hear they don't have sand worms over there 😢. Probably just use squid or ghost crabs I guess... Cheers 🍻

[@flacksfishingadventures1199]

There is a comment on here saying you get them on beaches where the seaweed builds up. Might be worth a look if you find seaweed 😃

[@outdooraussie6355]

@@flacksfishingadventures1199 Awesome mate... hadn't heard that before. I'll give it a go. I find catching sand worms nearly as much fun as catching whiting... and arguably more challenging. But I'm sure they don't taste as good!! 😂😂 Cheers

[@richosull]

Hey mate, love your work, I'm based in Melbourne I don't think we have sand worms down here. Any other recommendations for bait? Also I'd love you to do some really detailed stuff on the actual rigging? Like literally show the knots and hooks and everything.

[@flacksfishingadventures1199]

Hey mate, cheers for the comment. I've tried doing a few knots and Rig videos, but my gopros aren't very good with close-up stuff. The rig I use is really simple bait holder or cycle hook with 350mm of 4 or 6lb flourow carbon leader small swivel then sinker between 5c, 10c size ball sinker that runs freely up the line, I tie around 1m 10lb flourow carbon leader onto my braid with an FG just so the sinker is not running up and down my braid. Then cast out to a likely looking spot, leave it no winding for 30 or 40 seconds, then wind up tight to the sinker, wait 1 or 2 minutes if no bites start a slow wind in I find most of my fish I catch on the wind in. If I start getting bites I slow my wind right down but keep winding real slow with the cycle hook I just keep slow winding and they hook themselves if I have a bait holder I strike when I feel a bite. Nippers are a great bait, I think you could find some worms down there I would try the beaches that get lots of seaweed wash up on them or if you have a spot where the mutton birds get washed a shore could be worth a go.

[@mohamedsamehatalla4603]

Interesting session

[@redtobertshateshandles]

I found that I couldn't hook whiting with circles and did much better with j hooks. Interesting to hear you use them, and do OK.

[@flacksfishingadventures1199]

That rod that I use has the softest finest tip you'll ever see. Once I get a bite, I just start slow winding, and I hook up every time. I ran out of the circle hooks a few days earlier, nailing the whiting in those gutters.

[@nikhilmathew2101]

​@@flacksfishingadventures1199thanks. Can you please share the model of the Rod. ?

[@flacksfishingadventures1199]

@nikhilmathew2101 sure bud it's an Abu Garcia Eradicator real finesse 7.9ft pe 0.1 to 0.3 (ERFS - 79 ULS - EFX - TZ ) they have the finest tip I've ever seen I've had mine for 4 or 5 years now and haven't damaged it as yet... you could probably find something similar in fibre glass that would be a bit more robust. 😉 hope this helps and cheers for the question 👍 😀

[@petermarch3274]

Hi Flacky. What length RealFinesse rod are you using for the beach? What do you think of it? Worth the $s?

[@flacksfishingadventures1199]

The rod is an Abu Garcia Eradicator real finesse 7.9ft pe 0.1 to 0.3 (ERFS - 79 ULS - EFX - TZ ) they have the finest tip I've ever seen I've had mine for 4 or 5 years now and haven't damaged it as yet. I do like it for smaller fish. It definitely helps with keeping small fish on the hook with the super soft tip. I can't remember how much I paid for it. I only use it to catch whiting. When I'm using it with Circle Hooks off the beach for whiting, it rarely misses a hook up pretty much every bit equates to a fish. Having said that, I hooked a 2.5kg salmon off the beach, and it took me 15 to 20 minutes to land the fish. Everyone fishing on the beach had to bring their lines in as it was swimming up and down the beach. I gave the fish to 1 of the bloks that was there, so he didn't mind bringing his lines so I could get past.

Another great vid Flacky..Check out Roger Osbourne fishing, he is the worm king of Australia...Cheers..

[@gino55yo]

Hello Sir, thank you for this video. I am passionate about technology. I have a very light cane a 5-30g. For the weight of lead how much to take in grams? Do you have any advice on how to succeed in this technique? Thank you and happy new year sir.

[@flacksfishingadventures1199]

The ball sinkers I use weight 19 grams. Size 6 bait holder hook or size 4 circle hook work well. 300 to 350 mm of 8 LB leader I always use fluorocarbon leader. And a small swivel

[@flacksfishingadventures1199]

Use a light, soft tip rod with a light drag and never rush to land your fish, even smooth, constant pressure on the fish, slowly working it in 🐌 slow and steady wins the race

[@gino55yo]

Yeh lovely, thank you. The big rod 9’6 one you mentioned looked like a Daiwa What rod/real is in that setup

[@flacksfishingadventures1199]

@evkore it is a diawa. I'm running 38LB on Quantum Smoke II 50. It proved to be a bit too stiff in the tip with the setup I was running and kept pulling hooks. I'm not sure of the model. I think it was around the $120 mark.

Is that broulee ? I surfed there heaps growing up , now living in newy

[@flacksfishingadventures1199]

You haven't forgotten 😉

[@stringbean1010]

This maybe an obvious question but why do most people + videos etc recommend using low tide to fish for whiting ? Is there a science or technique thats different for high tide?

[@flacksfishingadventures1199]

I actually prefer the rising tide up to the top of the tide, usually in the afternoon. I think the fish feed in the wash near the shore as it comes up picking any creatures that haven't buried deep enough before the tide has come back in.

[@divad435]

How do you go with surfers? I am just starting beach fishing and I don't want to get in anyones way or anything

[@flacksfishingadventures1199]

Good question. Most surfers will be pulling off the waves before they get to the shoreline. The fish will be holding in the shallow parts of the gutters where the surfers aren't surfing. There could be a few people entering the gutter to paddle out, but this shouldn't bother the fish. The surfers might be able to see the fish and tell you where they are holding in the gutter. If you are fishing where you're having issues with surfers, just move to the next gutter. I will only stay in the 1 spot if I'm catching fish, if I haven't had a bite or fish in a few minutes I slowly bring my bait in then recast in a new spot or move along the beach till you find the fish. I usually move 100 to 150m on either side of where I start fishing, looking for the best spots, which will often change with the rising tide and as the currents pull to different parts of the gutters. Ideally, you want the current running along the beach over a sand bank, then falling into a rip and getting dragged out cast up on the bank and let you bait get dragged along the bank then into the gutter. Hope this helps 👍

Surley there’s no big whiting on every beach

[@flacksfishingadventures1199]

You would be surprised 😮 what you can find at your local. As long as the beach has wash dragging sand down the beach, reasonably well-defined gutter set ups and your willing to move up and down the beach till you find where the school of fish are hanging out in those zones, don't stay in the one spot to long if you're not getting bites move every 5 or 10 minutes some times casting 10m to the left or right can make a massive difference. target the run-in tides in the late arvo and early morning 👍👌. Let me know how you go...

Sorry, it was difficult getting worms and getting footage

[@kimpalmer713]

Any beach except WA. We don't have worms we can collect!

[@flacksfishingadventures1199]

Yeah, right. I never realised that was the case. Nippers also work extremely well. But now you have me wondering why they are predominantly along the east and south coasts of Australia and not on the west 🤔.. I wonder if you transported some live ones whether you could start a small population of them over there 🤔 or if that would even be legal.

[@chrisstevens463]

Fished in Geraldton and collected plenty of worms from the seaweed banks,needs to be seaweed that has been on beach for a long time,they aren’t the big worms like those in east but just regular earth worms,the whiting love them.

[@outdooraussie6355]

@@chrisstevens463Thanks for that bit of info Steve. I'm heading to live in the West soon. How do you catch them? Just lift the seaweed, dig for them, or lure them up like a sand worm? Cheers 🍻

@@outdooraussie6355 Just dig for them,it’s need to be old seaweed,you will get dirty hands because it is composted and it will be warm.

In WA I have found that sugar prawns mixed in dessicated coconut are an absolute killer bait for whiting The sugar firms the prawn and the coconut leaves it's own berley trail.
