Hi well i must be the odd one out because i LOVE whiting! Pick the right time and tide and there are usualy lots to be caught. Long casting is not often needed, great for beginners and kids. If conditions allow i will use a carp/pike rod with a fixed spool loaded with braid, or in my case Nanoline, a 2,3 or 4 oz grip or plain bomb. Simple 2 or 3 hook simple unclipped paternoster rigs baited with small squid and mackerel strips whipped on with cotton is all you really need and the bait bill is minimal! Double patting to save time and get out again quickly. 4 to 6 fresh whiting, cooked the way you prefer will give the family a great healthy meal, just remember to gut and clean them between casts and put them in a cool box with ice. Great sport, a few hours in the fresh air, and a tasty meal!! You just can't beat it. Kindest regards Bill

Whiting can be a pain but they are fun for those that enjoy them. I never get bored with doggies even when they appear in numbers. In Suffolk the beach fishing is the best it's been for decades. I had around 87lb of fish in 5hrs only last month and that's as good as anywhere I've fished in the UK. We've lost the cod but gained on rays and hounds.

I like whiting personally - I regularly fish for them off the pier when it's a calm sea and not much else is on the feed. Last week went fishing for whiting (calm sea) and pulled out 2 coddling at 4lb each. A few days later it was a really high tide and had a nice choppy sea (perfect cod conditions) didnt catch any cod at all!

Daiwa has a new Saltist line that I want to try too. The 15H is interesting.

i love whiting when they are above 25-30 cm. when filleted and dipped in batter they can taste pretty sweet. the waste after cleaning the fish can be used to make some good feeding spots in the winter for fishing on pike with deadbait. especially when you are on a big canal or lake or something. just feed 4 days before fishing and 2 days before fishing a little bit as well and then on fishing day the probability of predatory fish being present in the area should be bigger.
