How I catch my King George whiting

Went fishing for King George whiting in the calm and beautiful waters off Adelaide in South Australia. Caught some squid first to use as bait and then spent the rest of the day catching a nice feed of whiting plus enjoying the views, the amazing birdlife and watching the Port River Dolphins swim by.

Looks as though you had a beautiful day. It was flat as.
I like that you explain what's happening, time of the tide etc, thanks for a good video.

Refreshing to see another fisherman who cares for his catch and to dispatch them humanely. Well done 👋

Glad you enjoyed

[@briansewart5885]

it is a great area to fish. we troll there a lot as well and get plenty of salmon trout and snook. Great boat ramp as well.

[@blokeonaboat7305]

You got that right!

[@MattsFishingEscapes]

You're killing it mate... I'm due for an RDO if the weather works for us. Good to see the Inku Squid Tackle glow tiger working for ya!

[@blokeonaboat7305]

Hey Matt, sounds great, look forward to it.

[@fishinbite]

Great informative video. What brand/size circle hooks do you use? And whats your recommended rods?

[@blokeonaboat7305]

Hi, not sure what size the circle hooks are, the J hooks I use are No 4 thin worm. Rods are 1-3 kg rated & about 6 foot or so, that's a personal preference as it doesn't really matter, especially on a boat were we don't need to cast far.

@@blokeonaboat7305 thanks!

[@Bishy67]

Thanks for your content BoaB, always great watching - can I ask what breaking strain is the paternoster rig and do you use the same line strength for your hooks?

[@blokeonaboat7305]

Hi, 3.5 kg fluorocarbon line on all my whiting lines normally, always leave the drag loose on the reel incase I get a 40cm plus one or double header.

[@Bishy67]

@@blokeonaboat7305 ok.. thank you

[@eddiev1980]

Great work on another nice catch, i always look forward to your videos. Im still trying to figure out this area and when are good times to head out .

[@blokeonaboat7305]

Thanks, I always fish at the start & end of the tides, this seem to work for me.

[@eddiev1980]

@@blokeonaboat7305 Interesting, do you notice the fish go quiet for a period at the top of the tide? I was looking at this Sunday and wasnt sure when i should be trying.

[@blokeonaboat7305]

Yep, they seem to be active the last hour or so of the tide and when it stops, they do go quiet.

[@ME-qq2dc]

Hi mate good job don't suppose you would give a few tips on where to get the kgs?

[@blokeonaboat7305]

Hi, In my area, I look for areas with patches of sand & ribbon weed, coarser the sand the better.

[@anthonypllu3864]

nice feed, what is your favourite way to cook them?

[@blokeonaboat7305]

Hi Anthony, beer battered is our favourite.

[@junvillar5185]

I like squid grilled and calamaris good

[@blokeonaboat7305]

Hi Jun, thanks for watching.

[@marcstvincent9827]

Nice work man 👍

[@blokeonaboat7305]

Thanks 👍

[@furphyman]

What are those red wormy plastic things

[@blokeonaboat7305]

I put a short bit of red tubing on each hook with 2 red beads, red seems to attract the whiting. I have seen other colours used but never tried them.

[@Ridgebackcross24]

New at fishing just wondering how far do you let the bait sink?

[@blokeonaboat7305]

Hi, bait all the way down as that is were the whiting are, good luck with the fishing
