Success whiting poppers

[Alexsfishin1 781]

So I've thought about it lately and I think I might have a go at whiting on poppers. This weekend seems killa for whiting. What do you guys think about these poppers? Which ones work best? Tomorrow I am buying the Hooch colour. I hope its a good choice!

Hi mate, i have used the 'bitza' and the 'warrigal' with a bit of sucess.Personally i prefer more of a walk the dog style lure. Favourite being Atomic k9 walker.

I am in the same boat as 4THA. I have tried numerous times and had no success, even using worms as bait. Might have to head out tomorrow and search.But, I think you are on the right track there Alex. I have seen people landing YFW on surface walkers such as those Berkley ones, the Bassday Sugapen , Atomic K9 pup or Walker, Bushy's Stiffy popper and Zerek Popparazzi.

Ok guys, sp I have thought about it and since surface walkers are considered better, I have just bought this Berkley 3B Scum dog in hooch colour! It looks like a perfect lure with great action in it!

No problems, i took a mate out to a northern beach this afternoon to help him get his first yfw on lure. We got there about an hour and a half later than we would have likes (bloody work) and it wasnt looking to good as there was a bit too much wind stirring the surface.He got two on bait around 26cm and finally after the wind dropped i hooked up on a surface lure. I got two both 35cm and dropped two more due to not setting the hooks properly. he finally got one which we didnt measure but looked slightly bigger than both of mine. They are definitely out there and happy to take lures. My mate was using a bassday sugapen in orange and i got mine on a ecogear px55.

i'll take you up on that' date=' i'd love to slam some fish on surface lures every time I see pics/footage it looks like so much fun I think the attack and the splashy commotion is what getz me all razzed up cheers 4THA[/quote']I think catching fish on surface lures is the most exciting fishing there is, it's the whole visual attack and noise of it. Locally so far I have only caught some smallish bream on poppers at West Lakes , but even that was heaps of fun. I'd love to get some yfw, salmon or anything else on surface lures more regularly, may have to pursue that more this coming year. The dream someday is a big kingy!!

Alex, have you seen Adam Royters Video? They are very helpful for using the 3B range of lures and will give you the rod action you need for that lure. Straight through mono or a very long/Greased leader is good for the walkers, they sit very low on the pause so a line that floats is best.I fish with the Scum Dogs a lot late summer time, the Mongrel is a great colour as well.
