[Scotch Bonnet]

I read an artical recently in The Fishermans Call which is a commercial mag. The capt of a RI herring boat was saying how much herring there is of the RI coast. That seems to be the case inshore also,with all the herring coming into the local runs. The herring they sell to the Russians are sea herring(also called sardines). I don't think any of the commercial boats are targeting river herring. IMHO these guys are trying to adapt to a changing enviornment and targeting underutilized species. My opinions are more middle of the road as I have friends on both sides of the fence. Also, did you read the article on the West Wall. Mr. Levine states the best wind is "Northeast" as it pushes all the bass up against the wall.
