27cm is the maff size for whiting, 30cm is the Northern Fed recommendation size for whiting. Some use one some use the other.

[rod-the-cod]

so is there any diference on any other fish ie common fish wat we get ere

[dazzer]

Some club comps put their own size limits in that are above the minimum size limit, just make sure you read the rules first & you won\'t be embarrased at a weigh in

i personally think a 30cm size limit should be used by every angling club where whiting are concerned.
whiting are so easy to catch with there increasing numbers along the coast however a high percentage of these 27cm fish are so thin they arent even fit for eating and are usually just binned.
i think a 30cm limit would make comps a little bit more challenging and cut down on the amount of fish discarded after comps etc.

anyone else have the same opinion?

Our club has a 30cm limit on whiting and a bag limit of 20 per angler. After you get your 20 you can try for a proper fish.lol
