I need a little help on HERRING regulations.
I'm writing an article on fishing HERRING in NJ and I want to include current regulations coast wide. I've been looking on line but a few states either don't have 2007 rules out yet or are still ambiguas. I would appreciate links if possible. Post here or use my e-mail
sportfisherman@abseconbay.com
Thanks in advance |

1st question is what type of herring? River or Atlantic and are you including alewives?

Pretty simple to give them in a nutshell:
In CT, RI and Mass, there's a total possession ban on river herring in effect for 2007. I'm pretty sure the same is true in NH but I'm not sure.
Rver herring inlcude alewives and bluebacks, but not American or hickory shad.

IN CT, RI, and Mass there is ZERO possesion of any River Herring (Alewvices / Bluebacks). You can possess Sea Herring (Atlantic Herring) but you could potentially be hassled if someone is unable to distinguish between the species.

River Herring only. In NJ they are still bait thanks for the replies.
Any southern boys on line?

Please include in your artilce how much it sucks that a ship can scoop up more herring at once than I'd ever be able to get in my lifetime.
All or nothing, FULL BAN or NO BAN. I think it is complete BS that I cannot get my 12 herring 3x week but factory ships can do as they please.  |

I second that! In one of the links there was a number that the purse seiners are allowed 1% by-catch. Over all it is something like 180,000 tons.
These herring have been carried out of the streams for food, fertilizer and any other reason imaginable since before this country was settled by white man. The waters are cleaner than they have been since the industrial revoulution and today we can't even use a couple for bait.
