BIG Whiting on Surface lure: Fishing Bobbin head flats 

I’m still pretty average at walking the dog. I can skip cast, fly fish, pitch, roll etc. But this technique is just stupid nothing I am crap at. Any tips? Cheers

OK So I believe you are on the track that goes from the back of the Marina up to the "waterhole", then if you keep going, that trail goes up to The KHS school, and the "Sphinx" = Young Fletcher - I have spent literally 40+ years of my life around this area, so I know every bend, twist, nook, and cranny..... I went to the KHS school ( 1983-1988) - we used to go down to the river often in Summer arvo's during year 10/11/12. Plus I have camped/hiked/fished/ explored literally searched every single inch of the area/river from the "waterhole" - where the trail heads back up to the Sphinx, and kayaked/swam/Zodiac boated etc the entire area/river from the upper reaches that go towards St.Ives, all the way down to the Marina. You are VERY lucky to nail Whiting... Back in 1983-1988 - we used to fish the wharf there at Bobbin Head ( now that dinky wharf with the Chinese paddle boat rentals) - where the Central Coast Ferry comes too. - Back then, we would use chicken gut, and catch massive Bream, and Mulloway. And almost every time we went there - there were these Greek/Italian ( I think ) people with their massive custom 14ft rods, with no reel, and using this " special" dough/bread mix to catch huge Mullet - it was incredible. We caught so many HUGE bream there. Back then in the 80's - Bobbin Head was really good to catch Bream/Blackfish/Trevally/Kingfish/Jewfish/ Tailor etc.... Not fished out, and I spent soooooooooooooo many Sat/Sundays down there with my mate, and also alone fishing all day and all night - my Mum would drop me off, then pick me up. But sometime I'd go home via the Bus that went to Turramurra Station - then I would go to Rohini St Fish & Chip shop on the corner there - and get a small chips, and a few potato scallops with lemon and vinegar... and if I had the money I would get a Chocolate MOOVE!.....

the ones who don't commit are probably bream. so you need to twitch and pause and they probably will commit

was this summer

Great to see you went down to Bobbin Head. Try going a bit more up river - there are plenty of good spots. Scent usually helps if they follow but do not commit.

I worry that you’re standing in chest deep murky water with a dead bleeding fish in your pocket and that waterway is connected to the sea.

Fletcher just noticed your channel Great content mate . I have subbed Btw what tide were you fishing?

Do you remember what time of day it was you started?

Hi champ, just curious how deep was the water where you were casting to. I’m Sydney based & haven’t had any success on top water whiting. I use sugapens & similar types
