Herring
I have seen more herring this year than any time in my life. I'm not saying where, but its incredible. I've been volunteering to help net them and get them up over the ladder. 6,000 fish were moved yesterday in under an hour.
The moratorium is certainly helping. And I bet that the pair trawler ban in RI waters has helped too.
Amazing little fish.

It sure does "look" good, but I wouldn't be betting on the moratorium being lifted anytime in our lifetime due to how "the system" works.
I would expect a moratorium on the use of eels, mackerel, scup, black sea bass, fluke and flounders well before anything would be even considered to review and reversal.
Not saying it couldn't happen, but I won't be ditching my artificials just yet.
Keep in mind that the moratorium didn't effect the trawlers that were hauling pre-spawn herring along with the ocean herring, so any rebound in the species does point in the right direction.

I am a legend in my own mind!

Why don't they make a better ladder?

Great news. Never hooked a herring on my line. Like the challenge of artificials. Even if they lift the moratorium I'll let the little guys fear only the bassoon their own.

No sign of fish in Boston Harbor yesterday! Throughout the harbor temps ranged from 43-45d. |
 Given the diversity of the human species, there is no “normal” human genome sequence. We are all mutants.

I think water temps are over rated in determining when fish will "arrive". If anything, water temps will indicate if they are going to feed or not feed if they are already there. We had such a cold winter and the schoolies showed up in south county right on time. Who knows????

I've heard that estimates of 34.000 herring have been lifted over dams in that river. Volunteer weekend work is complemented during the week by DEM, which trucks some of the fish to another pond in an effort to bolster another run.

How long do the adult herring stay in the ponds after their arrival and when do they start to drop?

glad I'm not the only one saying this.... same goes in the fall... day light rules all migrating creatures.. temps control feeding urges in the cold blooded ones.. |
A good run is better than a bad stand!
