Whiting/Squid season can run all year round, the main reason we target Whiting/Squid from January to  September and again from August to September is they are at their best and most accessible at these times, the Whiting/Squid make their way inshore from the cooler waters up north to enjoy the abundance of baitfish that Melbourne has to offer, making these fish one of the most prized fish on offer in our local waters.
