I was dreaming of herring this morning before I woke up.

Nebe, that is a way cool picture, it should be on the front page

Herring/Vineyard
 

Mr. Sandman, since the indian tribes do not follow under the same herrings regs. as we do, and since you have on the Vineyard Menemsha pond herring run, I was wondering if it was legal to buy/beg herring from the Vanderhoops?

That is a good question. I know they have a pretty good run and a decent comm business. I have seen them make deliveries to some local shops in the spring (fresh dead). The general public can't use a dip net at their run. But I am not sure of the law in this case. I think it is up to the tribe. They generally support the public wildlife laws but I don't think they have to. IMO (repeat) MO! I think they could sell them. (who would buy them though?) That said the new constable out here will enforce the public law. I see this guy everywhere, he is fair but strict. He will fine you, and if you give him any lip he will take your gear, be an adult or a kid. I would think that and if he catches you with a herring (indian or not) you are in trouble.

I plan to fish storm shads and skip the herring. As I have said the saddest part is the social thing for me...it is fun to see guys that have been hibernating all winter. We need to find a replacement venue. Also, that is pretty much the only decent lobster bait that time of year and some like to eat the roe.

My thumb is raw, killer weekend, what is this striper depression you speak of? I had to leave the striper bite Saturday, could lift another one:).

whos stopping you from going to watch the herring?? I go every spring just to watch. I hear RI is going to ban herring as well, but i will still go to watch, just like i always do. If you flip rocks in the runs, you can find elvers too. its a blast.

I would love to wet suit those rocks

Depression
 

Found myself glued to the live fish tanks in the south Boston Super 88 on sunday my wife had to drag me out, live cod and pollock. Had a jigging dream sunday night and almost wacked the wife on the up swing. Going to hit a few south coast rivers this weekend.

That is a pretty cool picture of #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&! :kewl:

No striper depression yet too busy "dear" hunting, strictly catch and release....:devil:

That pic looks like its from the California coast, not here.
But it wouldn't surprise me that #^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&'s actually part of the white bucket brigade. "What choo usin? Clams?"

the pic was entitled "Indian Beach" i figured it was oregon :huh:
