They are such a coincidental fish that is hard to say when is best. We catch them more by accident / bonus when fishing for other stuff.
Having said that. Warm months when the water is more on the clean and clear side. |

Yep, your lucky when you catch them, very lucky because they are the best eating fish you can catch from the surf.
I've only caught them on occasion fishing with live shrimp in clear water, and after catching a couple, peel the live shrimp and catch more that way. At any rate they would be gone pretty quick it seems. I would be happy for every keeper I caught. All them were caught on PINS. |

Sunday, right after the nasty weather. Never kept a whiting besides cutbait, biggest was 16”. I hear they’re good, last couple years tried sand trout and croaker for the first time, edible. The pomp had me jumping up and down on the beach like a school kid!

I see jig heads in the photos, but no soft plastics. Are those big whiting coming on natural bait or something like fishbites or a soft plastic? I might want to hit the beachfront someday soon, just want to have an idea about what I should toss.
