Found myslef awake early this morning....it was overcast and brezzzzy here, as I made my coffee all I could think was, gee, this would be a great morning to get some herring....So drove down to the run to visit them.

It was stacked pretty thick. They were swimming lazyly around nosing in the cracks of the cement, resting and adjusting to make the jump to the fw.
Lets hope for a decent recovery.
The other day a I was talking to a friend and he mentioned there is still a 2500# herring by-catch allowed by trawlers. Is this true? If it is I am pissed because I bet we (everyone here) took less then 500# out of that run in total all season.
