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
Funny around here in Northwest NJ most if not all of the Shop Rites have 2-3 lbers smoked and they are great except for the price which averages about $6.00 to $8.00 per fish.
Whiting have rebounded very well in the New England states I just think they migrated up there and dont come to NJ anymore.

Also not positive but believe the OP was being sarcastic
