Whiting Topwater Pack

Top Water Lure Pack for Whiting Fishing at The Bait Shop Gold Coast

At The Bait Shop Gold Coast, we understand the thrill of chasing Whiting on light tackle, especially when using topwater lures on the shallow saltwater flats and yabby banks of the Gold Coast. Our Top Water Lure Pack for Whiting Fishing features some of the best lures for enticing surface strikes from these prized fish.

Here’s a closer look at the lures included in this pack and how you can fish them effectively on the local flats.

• Ecogear PX 55F – The Ecogear PX 55F is a floating surface lure designed specifically for targeting species like Whiting. Its small profile and subtle splashing action mimic the natural movements of shrimp or small baitfish on the surface. The PX 55F is ideal for use on calm water when Whiting are actively feeding in the shallows. Cast this lure over the sand flats and retrieve it slowly with gentle twitches. The subtle action of the PX 55F draws curious Whiting from a distance, making it a great choice for fishing early mornings and late afternoons when fish are cruising the flats.
• MMD Splash Prawn – The MMD Splash Prawn is a versatile surface lure that imitates the darting movement of a fleeing prawn. Its realistic profile and unique splash create the perfect surface commotion to attract Whiting, particularly in slightly wind-ruffled conditions. Work the Splash Prawn along the shallow yabby banks, using a twitch-and-pause retrieve to imitate the erratic movement of a prawn skittering along the surface. Whiting tend to strike during the pauses, so let the lure sit still for a moment before resuming your retrieve.
• Bassday Sinking Crystal Popper – The Bassday Sinking Crystal Popper is a compact yet powerful popper that’s designed to cause a splash, creating surface noise and bubbles that drive Whiting to strike. Its sinking capability adds a bit of versatility, allowing you to work it in both shallow and slightly deeper waters, depending on the conditions. Cast the Bassday Crystal Popper over sandbanks and retrieve it in short, sharp bursts to create the popping action. I find when using poppers for whiting that a continuos retrieve works best as they follow the lure right to the shore and striking a t the last minute. Use it when Whiting are feeding aggressively, especially during the outgoing tide, when they’re patrolling the flats and yabby banks for prey. Overcast days are definitely better as the fish tend to hold up on the flats for longer but a little wind can help if the sun is out to give the fish a bit of cover from patrolling birds.

Why These Lures Work on the Gold Coast Flats 

Fishing the saltwater flats and yabby banks around the Gold Coast is one of the most exciting ways to target Whiting. These areas are prime feeding grounds for Whiting, who are on the lookout for small prawns and baitfish near the surface. Topwater lures are a perfect match for this environment, providing both visual and auditory appeal to these surface-feeding fish.

• Saltwater Flats: The shallow, clear water allows you to use smaller, more subtle lures like the Ecogear PX55F, where long casts and gentle retrieves can draw Whiting from further distances.
• Yabby Banks: The natural commotion created by prawns and baitfish on yabby banks makes lures like the MMD Splash Prawn and Bassday Crystal Popper particularly effective, as they imitate the natural prey Whiting are actively hunting.

This lure pack offers incredible value for money with over $115 of value for a bargain price of only $90. This pack also includes a TT Split Foam Tackle Tray to store your lures in and 6lb Dangan fluorocarbon leader which gives you great action on these light lures.
