Greg I was out today (Friday) found the whiting to be scarce. Fished near the Naval Reserve beacon, edge of Small Ships gutter, Chain Banks, top of Rous, Reeders Point on Moreton and back to the banks east of Peel for two whiting.

[Seahorse]

Thats not good mini.
I was thinking about going out tomorrow, but long way from Woody point for just a few.

I dont think the Rous has really started yet, from what i read.

Always use to get ur 50 in couple hours.

Thanks for letting me know

cheers

shit conditions Friday Greg, I started fishing rouse 4-45, gave it away at 6-45 for 1 whiting
mate went out later stayed till 10am and they only got 3
I am going out on Monday again, different wind/tide so hopefully better fishing
mate is going out tomorrow, then heading daves gutter overnight , then sandhills area Monday, spending 3 days on water, and he is going to give me the heads up on where they are

pics don't work Steven
mate caught them at rouse week before when I was on a cruise, but on Friday at the rouse they were missing
did your father get them down vic point area or up closer to rouse area?
I have found over decades of fishing, whiting can be there one day in abundance and got the next, bar the odd ting
cheers

No idea bout the pics Robin, I can see them?

anyway no where near Rous. All around Pelican banks, same place I got mine.

[StevenM]

Does this work?

[Seahorse]

Thats not good Robin. Yeah iam not going out there tomorrow now.

There hasnt been any at the old Comp Bouy area as well.

Got me beat Robin. I have been up double island recently and cant get any in the surf as well.

Think they have all left the state. Lol

[robsue]

yep that worked Steven

I've bagged out, or near enough, the last dozen trips to the Little Ships for whiting but they were hard work yesterday.
Couldn't get a scale at the Little Ships all the way down to the Naval Reserve Banks. DID get some monsters further up the Rous but not in numbers and VERY patchy. Went over to the banks between the Green lead in the Rous and Fishermans Gutter and they were a bit thicker but very average in size compared to the Rous. Still got a good feed, but it wasn't easy.
ps. Jigged up some nice squid too.

Thanks Pete I went out with the neighbor a couple of weeks ago and could not find the whiting. Tried all the spots you mentioned and a few more. I could not believe it as we normally get quite a few.

Has anyone tried Deception Bay for winter whiting this year?
