Illegal baits...
 

I pulled the illegal baits thread... I'm not allowing a second yellowing the snow contest in one day... Let's drop it, OK? Bigger & Better things....


Anthony, don't worry about where you hook the live hearing - that is not illegal... The places I've done it is in the nostril when the herring tends to be down current from me or behind the dorsal, usually in a boat (me, not the herring), or wading in slow current...

Anthony and John,

Those are all great ways to rig a herring, but there are also times when hooking them just after the anal vent works great. When I want my "bass candy" to swim down into deeper water, yet I don't want to use a weight, this technique will often get our chrome-plated friend to dive, dive, dive. Most of the time I favor the under the chin and out the nostril method. Only 180 days till we start doing it again :eek: .

Got herring?

YUMMMMMMMMM

180 days :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

There will be fish before then (not many monsters) but some holdover fishing to be done across the winter months still...

Do the mortality rates sky rocket on hold over fish that are caught?...I would think so....but who am I....
