Dark sickly looking gray, , rotten looking, and the size of Smelts.. They are gobbled up by the netters before they can even mature.. I never see large or even medium size Whiting for sale.. All spikes,all the time.. WHO buys these things anyway???... they look disgusting.
I DESPISE govt regulations on just about any fishery, but it would not break my heart to see a moratorium on Whiting so they can recover.. Do netters really make any money catching and selling 8 inch Whiting?????bob
