John,
I appreciate your concern but the Middleboro run is an exceptionally well managed one and I trust the folks who run it.
As jettyjockey points out, the problem is with the cold (and now the current). I have 2 friends that went to the run on the last week in March - this was the first week the run is open to taking herring. It was warmer then (go figure) and they said it was loaded with herring. What I'm trying to say is that the first week of the run is supposed to be when it is just getting started and there were plenty of herring then so now it can only get better if the temps rise back up - much better.
At any rate, no one has been taking any significant amount ofherring out of there lately. A warden mentioned that there was a guy there the other day that spent 3 hours and only got 10 fish to show for it.
Jettyjockey, how did you make out Sunday. I know it was much warmer (air temp) but I presume the current was still too fast then as well?
Mike
