Can anyone answer these questions?
1. Does anyone know where herrings like to stay?(in general)
2. What attracts herring?
3. Will a bigger piece of cutbait catch a bigger rockfish?
4. Will a fishfinder be usefull for finding herring and stripers?
Thanks!

1.Herring is Illegal to use up here.
2.Plankton
3.Probably
4. Do you mean a fishfinder rig? No. It will help a striper find your bait by keeping it off the bottom.
Do you mean a fishfinder (Sonar?) on a boat? Yes it will help.
