Elecmuso got a reaction from BJSlick in Yellowfin Whiting Tips
Today I collected around 40 nippers from seacliff and tomorrow I want to put them to use off the beach - but when and where?
I haven't done much fishing over the last decade so want to make these count. Where and when would be the best bet?
I see Tennison has been good, I know that Seacliff is popular for YFW, and I have seen people fishing for YFW off Somerton. Where would you go?
I gather best time probably the first 2 hours after low tide?

Had no luck at Kingston park though they were there. Then gave somerton beach a go on the far side of the sand bar. Two nice YFW and a couple of undersized flattys. Not a great day but at leas not empty handed and my daughter enjoyed herself.

I will start by saying that i have never caught a metro YFW but.........................................
have caught a few at Pt Vincent 🎣
I generally catch & use the nippers same day but I guess if you keep em well they'll be ok.
So, low tide to collect then fish the run in tide almost straight away, running ball sinker, # 4 or # 6 long shank hook.
I walk back in with the tide until the bite stops.
I've seen folk @ Seacliff catching at both low & high tide, the tides aren't bad tomorrow so I'd try Seacliff around the low.
Hope this helps & let us know how you go 😀
