I have fished live herring alot, staying up all night to get them, then babysitting them and running to the shore, its alot of work for a shore guy, I have to admit one fact with all the fish I have caught, herring never produced a bass for me over 25lbs and most were in the 12 to 15lb range yes, there was constant action but no big ones, it always seemed to me that the smaller fish would get to the herring first, in a boat I am sure its different but from shore I would stay with the eels at night. The biggest bass I ever caught on a herring was a 32lb fish that took a fresh Chunk! You can do just as well sometimes with a Blue and white Danny Swimmer, especially at daybreak. So for me it was loads of work for bassically the same fish I caught at night on the eels or Dannys.
