Hey Bob, Had zilch near my house too yesterday. Hit three herring spots and nada. Tuesday you could walk across fish at all three barefoot and not get wet they were so loaded... Hopefullty they are just hanging out in the ponds...

Many of these runs have a big dump out of herringin mid-late May with some places letting ot smaller numbers until mid june (I'm told). I still thinks it's a little early to be loosing all of the runs but several things can happen:

Somedays they are just hanging in the ponds and not concentrated at the runs.

They are tide dependent. Even though the tide would have not visual effect way up stream, the buckys seem to know and you're more likely to find them at mid tides at some spots (the way it was Tuesday but not last night when I wen shortly before high)... Take that with a grain of salt (or two) as I'm still learning these runs...
