What are some good ways to catch whiting

Dead shrimp on the bottom in the surf is best imo. The downside is that you'll need to have a glove handy to cull all the hardheads you be catching as well. If they're around in the second gut you'll get worn out pulling them in.

i catch alot of whiting while fishing for specks at seawolf park using glow in the dark DOA shrimp.

try a small hook and a small peeled cube of shrimp with a light weight....better yet a small plastic grub bait to maximize time in the water...and like gutcheck said you will catch them.

I've caught my share with cut mullet.

I caught a mess of them under a popping cork with live shrimp.

Is it legal to use them for shark bait? I've seen many people doing it and I was just wondering.

They aren't listed as a game fish, get all over it.

Thanks!

They'll work, but a chunk of bonita, jackfish or spadefish (bloody-species) will usually attract and get hits from sharks before Southern or Gulf Kingfish/Whiting as bait.

Good Luck!!

What about stingreys?

i use fishbites shrimp flavor they last longer on the hook and can be used a few times. my girlfriends out fished me so everytime we head out to the coast she make sure we pick up some fishbites. last trip we caught over 30 whiteing we kept 15 over 15"

What are fishbites?
