Ranked by how strongly whiting show at each mark. The chip on the right is today's live fish forecast.
Autumn–winter staple; small hooks (size 2–1/0) with lug/mussel/razor. Night and first of flood commonly best.
Autumn–winter evenings; small cocktail baits (lug + tip of squid) on size 1/0–2. A light snood and regular recasts help on this clean ground.
Autumn–winter staple on small fish strips/worm; best in coloured water on a flooding tide.
Autumn–winter; fish after dark on the flood with lug/squid cocktails; 2-hook flapper works well.
Reliable in colder months; fish 2-hook flappers with lug/squid in surf.
Mainly autumn–winter on calmer nights; fish two-hook flappers with small worm/squid strips on clean sand at medium range.
Winter staple on worm or small fish baits; fish two-hook flappers in surf and aim for the first/second gutter on a flood.
Autumn/winter; small hooks with lug or mackerel strip, often best around tide turns.
Autumn–winter shoals; size 2/1 hooks with lug or squid, keep baits small and fresh for fast takes.
Autumn–winter; small hooks with lug/tippered rag on a 2-hook flapper over cleaner sand.
Autumn/winter sport on worm and small fish baits; often best into darkness on a making tide.
