You have an agent that nets all your herring for you? Are you a performer of sorts, having an agent and all....Does that allow you to net double the herring? Do you need 2 permits, or does your agent have special privelages because he's not going to use them? I've always thought about bringing some of my friends just to hang out so I could try to catch more herring. Is this against the law?

they actually have herring agents??? where have i been??what do they look like? where can i buy one? are they expensive? do they come with some kind of instructions?

Yes, they do exist, I got mine at Walmart. I've seen them being sold at other places that sell fishing gear.

You should post a new topic "Where can I get a herring dip net in the (name of your location) area ?"

I think the faster swimming ones have NOT done their business yet, that's why they're swimming so fast...to get up in there. While the slower swimming ones, having lost their MOJO.....are a little lazy in their swimming pattern. Do all herring spawn? Are they ambi-sexi-dextrous?

...also, how do I keep my herring hard? Should I stroke them to get the blood flowing through their muscles? Sometimes my herring fall off while I cast them, I think these are the ones that have lost their MOJO, they seem very limp. Could I rejuvenate them if I stroked them?...to make them hard again? How do you keep your herring hard Striprman, do you have your agent stroke them?....or do you use some other technique learned through your field testing?

Thank you kindly-
Bloo

i thought when there done with there buisness, they take a nap?

They light a smoke :laughs:

Keep it on the clean side gents - can see this doing a death spiral (if I could see thru the tears of laughing my ass off)

You are confused. The proper technique is to empale the subject bait individually. The technique I use is to impale either a whole herring (live or dead) on to the hook, or a "chunk" of herring individually. I have not tried the "combination" technique. It might work, but I believe it would "overload" the hook capacity and defeat the hook design, in the end, causing "mis-strikes" and loss of a "solid" hookup. I believe you are correct when you state that placing a "chunk" on the same hook might "wear him down". I have never seen that technique employed, possibly due to what you have observed, that the live herring bait would get "worn out".
On the other hand, impaling "chunks" on a treble hook (1 chunk impaled on each of the 3 "spears") may bring a strike, but I do not believe that it would be more effective than a single chunk impaled on 1 or 2 "spears" of the treble hook, and in fact may deplete your bait sooner than if individual "chunks" are used.

I would save all the dislodged scales and use them in conjunction with any "chum" you might happen to use during the course of your fish hunting event. If the scales become contaminated with
dirt particles, do not use them.

what about the scales that get stuck all over the steering wheel of the wifes car?
use em' or toss em'?

Question 1) Not all of my herring. Various herring "runs" provide a "herring catching service" when proper permits are presented to the "agent" who will do the "catching" for you.

Question 2) No, it does not allow you to "double net" herring.

Question 3) You only need 1 permit for each "run" that may be visited during "catching days" over the course of a "season". You need an individual permit for each run that may be visited.

Question 4) You may bring your friends, but if they do not posess their own individual permits, and cannot obtain herring of their own accord, then yes, I do believe that if you captured "extra" herring for them, you would be "breaking the law".

Question 1) yes
Question 2) I don't know
Question 3) Usually weather beaten older men
Question 4) I'm not sure they are for sale
Question 5) They may be
Question 6) I think that if you bought one, they would be "self instructing".

Mr. Crab.

Sorry to say, if your herring is "hard", it is probably dead, and may have been dead for a long period of time. A "hard" herring, shows signs of "rigor mortise". Any "stroking" would remove most scales and may make the herring less attractive to any fish you intend to hunt. If you have a "limp" herring, promptly remove it from the hook, place it in the live bait well and hope that it revives. You might be able to "rejuvinate your "limp herring" in the same manner you might rejuvinate a "played out" striper (allow water to flow through gills using a back and forth motion). Again "stroking your herring" may cause additional trauma. I keep my herring hard by putting them on ice after they have expired (keeps them "fresh" also). I do not believe an "agent" would "stroke" a herring, Maybe, I never asked.

You must leave them in place, they are never to be removed.
