How has everyone gone on the winter whiting this year?

We’ve been out a couple of times over the past few months both on Yorkes and Metro and found it a bit harder than previous years!

We want to know if it’s just us or if everyone is finding it tough going!

Our tackle item in Episode 112 was the SHIMANO Australia Fishing Zodias rod, a super light rod with a full carbon monocoque rod butt which makes it extremely sensitive and easy to fish with!

We used the 264L model which matched perfectly with a Vanford 2500 reel when catching King George Whiting recently!

A really high quality product, you will really notice the difference this rod makes when finesse fishing such as when the whiting are in a finicky mood!

Check out some of the photos from the recent fish kill in the South Lagoon of the Coorong that we discussed in detail with Faith Coleman in our most recent episode!
