yes, there is a difference between ocean herring and the ones coming out of the rivers which you cannot take/catch/possess. But as long as the big mid-water trawlers are allowed to continue to deplete the ocean herring we will have herring as bait.
There are zillions of tiny pollock around the harbor this year. Have never had much luck live-lining them from shore but I betcha if someone tossed a few in the livewell and headed offshore a bit they would come up with large!
