Whiting - limits ?

Can't find anything on the TWPD on restrictions for whiting? Are there any length/qty limits for them?

thanks guys.

They are not subject to specific limits. Only the fish listed in the table on the regulations page are subject to limits. http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/regulati...r_limits.phtml

They are small, but tasty. I ran some fillets through the fryer last weekend. Good food.

Why thank you sir. Taking the kids to Galveston State Park this weekend, figured we throw some gulp strips / dead shrimp, in the first gut and try our luck.

The limit is the number that will fit in your cooler.

it's funny, I've been to the coast with the kids the last couple of years and not even given a thought to these guys, but reading more on the 2cool forum I see I've been missing out!
This will be my first time targeting whiting, will gulp strips work OK or should I get a bag of frozen shrimp prior to dragging the kids to the surf?

thanks guys (in advance)
Neil

If the weather cooperates so that you can use some kid sized light tackle, they should have a blast. The whiting usually give a fairly violent strike for a small fish.

Take a skinned boneless fillet, season with a dash of natures seasoning, melt a teaspoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over med/high heat, sautee fillet on each side for a couple of minutes, adding a drizzle of red chile oil to each side while in the pan...

They were in the1st gut along with Black Drum Saturday and Sunday.Fresh dead shrimp was the ticket.The kids should have a ball.
