Herring everywhere in the Charles
Went for a run this morning and for a half mile along the Charles there were herring flopping around next to the shore. I have never seen so many in the Charles before. Looks like the ban on harvesting them is working.

There are so many herring reports this spring that I'm beginning to think that loads of sea herring are mixed with the alewifes in the usual haunts. I know they often mix in the open ocean.
Any ideas?

We are seeing firsthand the benefits of limiting the catch of the mid-water factory herring ships.

Yeah, that and closing dipping at the runs, which of course has a huge
multiplier effect since those are herring just about (likely) to spawn.
Gonna try fishing the Chas this evening for the first time in 10 years,
maybe try the Weymouth run this afternoon. Have some Yo-Zuris to
work with this time too (didn't 10 years ago), so hoping for a little
luck today.

Went out to Watertown, tossed plugs for a few hours, listened to the
Sox get stomped. No luck, didn't see anybody catch anything, a
few other folks trying. Fair number of herring in the water. Can't tell
if it is what it was a while ago; never saw it until right before they
closed it ten years ago.

And I could catch largies under the school of herrings there. Not sure about stripers in the mix, too.
