Whiting Fishing Regulations
The good thing about whiting is that Alabama has no size or bag limit, and the fish can be caught year-round. A whopper whiting would be a two-pounder, so whatever you keep, ensure the fish will yield decent fillets for your fish fry.
If you happen to catch some other fish species that can hang around in the surf, Alabama’s length limit on flounder is 12 inches, with a daily bag limit of 10 fish per person. The pompano length limit is also 12 inches, and the daily bag limit is three fish per person. The redfish limit is three per person with a slot limit of 16 to 26 inches, with the exception that one fish larger than 26 inches is allowed.
Don't forget! You’ll need a saltwater fishing license or saltwater registry designation to catch whiting in the Gulf.
