Over the years I've found that chunks of herring work better than livelined herring. I don't know, that's the way it is. I fished a run for years and I'd see a guy there who religiously fished live herring and I would get more fish with the chunk. Now in some places it could be different but the herring runs I have fished chunks were more effective. As the spring progresses I get away for herring but I notice that guys still use live and do well, mostly from the boat, but by then there are other baits I prefer. I 've seen chunks outproduce live too many times in the spring plus it's easier than keeping herring alive. If you were hungry would you rather expend energy or lazily pick up a tasty chunk off the bottom.
