Too rough/cold for the herring
I stopped by the Middleboro herring run this past Saturday and came back to Quincy empty.
While there were three wardens there, the current was far too swift to allow any herring to congregate in the area used to take them.
A week earlier the current was fine but it was too cold. It took me about 45 minutes to get 48 herring. The few that were there were hanging in the middle of the brook. Whereas last year at this time they were so thick that they were flapping on the shores.
I can't wait for the days where it takes me longer to count em than it does to catch em.
Tuesday is looking good but the run is closed on that day.
By the way, I also checked out the Weymouth run. The current didn't seem too bad but I couldn't see any fish there as well.
Later,
Mike
