Yes, I've got a couple. I mainly use the Mick's Jiggers, which are from a local guy who gets them through Rui). The pink, yellow and KGW ones are amazing. I still have a couple of yellow yamashita's but have moved away from the more expensive yozuri's - which I used to use exclusively.
Rui is a great guy and stands by his products. They do work and they last as well

Stir those whitting up 🙃

If you see a good sized GW, I'm sure you'll be paddling quick enough to be above the water

I can't peddle fast enough for that.

I've found its more of an issue with the 2 long feeding tentacles. Couple of rinses in water gets rid of most of the hard bits and a good fry till crunchy sorts out the rest.

Bloody things are everywhere, undersized whiting are probably the most common fish I catch. Agree with David that once you suss out where they hang out getting a feed isn't too hard, you can even choose between lots of smaller ones you need to get the measure out for, or fewer but much larger models you only need the camera for.
Just this Saturday  (glorious day) drifting around in about 3m off Port Gawler my Dad managed a 35cm model, among other stuff, on an SP, If that is a thing that can happen so close to Adelaide then they must be doing OK.

That is why they closed it before but decided that whiting are in great numbers.
Our catch rates agree with this - but most people complain they can't find them but many don't put in the time to understand where they are and why - and then understand the pattern.
We haven't been out from the last public holiday but are heading out tomorrow. I'm hoping the whiting haven't moved in that time but will find out. Ideally, getting out every 2 to 3 weeks is best, as they do move as the seasons do

I would suggest South Oz rods. Local here in SA.
 
Alternatively if distance isn't an issue, Ian Miller of Miller Rods makes a living of building high end rods.

Just be mindful - I think there is a ban on collecting mud cockles around the port area.
Sportsfishing scene are around $14 a kilo but if you can get your own, will save a fortune. I think I have about 5 kilos left in the freezer but will do a couple of trips down to goolwa after the april school holidays, when there is less people collecting them (the water gets pretty cold).
In saying the above, most of the whiting I've been catching have been on fresh squid - wouldn't touch the frozen stuff

Not a stone lover but I do love a quality knife, being able to fillet hundreds of fish before having to sharpen your knife is brilliant.
Those sharpeners are great for cheaper softer steel knives, I have one for my bait knives, but they will take chunks out of properly hardened blade and ruin it, I found this out the hard way so thought I'd chuck a warning out there.

Heard the the entrance is deeply rutted. Will be interesting to see how the rav goes!

But deeper is bigger too  
But you must be brave  

One great caravan parks that we are staying in Feb is corny point caravan park. 
Has great facilities and lots of land based options everywhere! You can do beach, rock, surf or jetty fishing all within easy reach. And the best thing is that as it's hard to launch there, it doesn't seem to be as busy as other places on yorkes. The caravan park owner does launch/retrieve via tractor

It also happens at Christmas and Easter - when everything is closed for one day. People are crazy!!

Yeah fair enough, it's unfortunate that all the people stockpiling for the apocalypse make it that your average Joe needs to get involved for a carton of eggs. 
 
This whole year has shown how mass hysteria in the population just stops people thinking things through. 

True but last time we waited and couldn't get the basics (milk, bread, eggs and meat) - so wasn't going to risk it this time

I remember using some about 20 years ago on a trip to venus bay. Lost trevally after trevally, so threw it out and went back to my maxima line. No lost fish after that (same 6 pound line class).
Not sure if I had to use different knots or not but since that experience, haven't gone back. Fish with a lot of people who use all different lines, including fluro but my catch rates are compatible.  I also change over my line annually  Except braid - had that for 5 years and it's still going strong!

Could I get hold of that video from Fishing Guru somehow? is it on YouTube?
