Herring
Message:
Well today I went Herring fishing around four and saw two people I know there. Nobody was catching any herring today. I heard yesterday the herring were there. Someone I know said they came out to fish last night and saw schoolie stripers popping up on the surface, just like they've been for months. Today when I was herring fishing, we saw a big splash in the water, too big to be herring. It was probably a Striper or some shad. Speaking of Shad,someone I know got a 20 inch hickory Shad the other day off a 2 inch Fin-s.

Today herring fishing was a blast! I caught about 10. Me and a few other guys were getting hits on nearly every cast. We were fishing in a channel with a strong current, so all we had to do was cast, let our rig sink and jig. The current did most of the work for us. Someone actually caught a little striper off a sabiki rig! I froze the herring up and will use them for bait in the spring.

Caught another dozen herring today. It's really fun to catch these.Most of today's batch I will pickle. I have fillets from them I cut up into cubes sitting in a salt brine in my fridge to get all the impurities out before I pickle them and everything. The rest I froze for bait. Most of the Herring have been decent sized, most about a foot long. [img:5b64a2f300]http://i.imgur.com/WWEP2.jpg[/img:5b64a2f300]
