Whiting

Whiting

Whiting are small, silvery fish commonly caught around Southend Pier during the colder months. They feed on smaller fish, worms, and crustaceans. Anglers often target whiting using small hooks and bait like squid or mackerel. Their abundance in winter makes them a reliable catch for both recreational and commercial fishers.
