I just read on another board that due to the poor run of herring to date that they have decided to shut down the Bournedale (Canal) Herring Run at 12:00pm tomorrow Friday May 6th for the season.

Can anyone confirm this?

Not that I was planning on flinging any herring this weekend but I know there will be a number of upset permit holders

its for the good of the run i fully support closing it down. i heard that on day all they could only get was 8 herring.

May 1.. first guy gets 12, an hour later second guy gets 8, an hour after that, third guy gets 6... I'm 5th in line.. I pick up my bucket and leave... :doh: They might as well shut it down.

If there actually was a closure what would they do for all the people who bought permits ??

The fish will still come through.

I think the herring have caught on to the rules.... I was there on Tuesday, a no take day and the run was bumpin.... herring EVERYWHERE.... go figure.

My brother was there yesterday and there were guys lined up getting their buckets filled. :huh:

i think friday was the last day of the herring run being open. after friday they cannot take any herring

This is why I just don't use herrin anymore!! Its not worth all the crap you have to go to get them!!

I use live Scup now and they take Bass just as good!! But then you need a boat.

Forget Herring!

I think it's absolute B.S. to sell all these permits and then shut it down. They better be refunding the money to everyone who paid 25 bucks for a permit.

That will be the day!! Just right it off to the Romney fund!! :mad:

Is that even legal? Don't think it would be up here...

Out in Kalafoornya (OK, bad Ahnold accent) they have problems with stripers getting into stocked trout ponds and eating the trout before the anglers can catch 'em...

JohnR . . . I think you should form another Leg - we could help with that problem! Road Trip :hihi:

Who needs to go to California? The rainbows they stock in Gull Pond in Wellfleet do the same thing. They head out the herring run and they become Stripah chow! Scorton Creek and Old Harbor as well in Sandwich. Little tiny scales and they go down the old throat no problem. I wonder how many browns at Scorton get chowed each year?

from what i hear it is very common to liveline trout down there, both brown and rainbow...
