whiting on lure?

dangermon · 08-15-2008, 02:53 PM

Anyone ever caught whiting on a lure such as a smaller grub fished on the bottom in the surf?

I saw a guy catch one on a pomp jig off the beach pier back in April. I don't think it happens alot though.

Only VERY rarely.

Normally whiting are EXTREMELY skittish :banghead

Tip the jig with shrimp or gulp. Lay it in front of his nose, and give a twitch.

You'll get a bite. Bet You.

I've caught them on a Pompano jig as an incidental catch but only when tipped with a sweetener. I've neve caught one on a bare Pompano jig.

If I were to fish for whiting, I'd probably use a bare jig head with a healthy piece of shrimp or clam on it.

Waiting for the Fall Pomano run. New rods, new rigs; I'm ready! C2
