While we're on the subject of herring plugs...thought I'd post a pic of some types that have done well for me in prior Springs when the herring were running.

When you're fishing daytime with sun, I like to use a color scheme that shows off the pink irridescence when the sun hits the water. You'll see the pink stripe on the Mambo Minnow, a Beachmaster "Atom-40" type metal-lip swimmer, and a Super Strike darter.

Herring also have a rich "gold" color - so if I'm fishing low light situations, I'll throw the olive and gold Bassmaster Danny plug (below right).

In shallow water (1-3 feet) I'll just use a plain old Mambo Minnow with a white/silver body and black back. Simple but deadly on the Vineyard in May.
