Absolutely loads of whiting about at rail end so ended up just staying there. Practically a fish a cast. Ended the night with well over 20 fish. Kept 3, including one belter at 2lb3oz - biggest whiting I've caught by a long way. Bait was lug/rag tipped off with squid.
The small whiting that have been around for while now seem to be getting a bit bigger as of all the fish caught there was only a couple that I would have classed as scabby littlins. Lots of fish around the 12" mark.
A good night
