the herring run that i fish centers around the CT river. the state of CT has a ban on the taking of herring. even when it was legal to fish live herring, plugs can consistantly outfish live bait! by day, you can't beat a yellow/white pencill popper up here. at night, bombers in solid black or solid white, depending on the moon phase, are the ticket. i guess i was always too conservation minded to use live herring. also, i look at time spent "catching" bait as waisted fishing time. that's just me though.
