There was a time when all I could think about was HERRING. I'd book charter trips on MV a year in advance to drag a live buckie over the bottom. Fun stuff, actually saw Buddy Vanderhoop chop the head off of a live herring.
I have to say, it was hard weaning myself off the live stuff and switching over to the artificial stuff.
Have any of you guys tried chumming with cut up pieces of herring (fresh or frozen) and throwing swimming plugs?
Much more fun IMO.
