Pin whiting

#1 Post by MBuckley87 »

I was just wondering the little pin whiting that are in abundance these days how good are they as a bait for anything I generally don't keep fish and I'm on a species hunt for a doggie heard whiting is good for them. Any thoughts?

Mackerel and Sandeels for the doggies mate but when they're on they'll eat anything!
