If you are using herring legally then it is sea herring and probably a bit mushy - it is illegal to use river herring right now... If you are chunking, switch to mackeral and bunker, tossing chunks means moving to avoid the skates... Try to move to spots where deep, rocky water is in range of your chunk, also look to chunk (when & where safe) at night as bigger gals come out at that time...
Once you've got your chunking gear setup and comfortable, switch over to a lighter spinning rod and cast and retreive some storm shads - bunker color - and see if you get something on the swimming lure instead of the soaking chunk..
Good luck...
