I'm really surprized to hear that no big fish have been at the run yet and that the run is essentially over. I've fished the run many times in May and usually by May 15, theres alot of quality fish being caught every day. My experience has shown that the canal regulars are 100% correct, when the big fish come in there, they are feeding on the dropback herring. The guys fishing plastic usually catch smaller fish. I've seen some nice ones caught on olive Mambo minnows as well as rellow and white Gibbs bottle swimmers. You might get a good size bass on plastic during the run, but 99% will be caught on a nice lively herring.The run produces keeper size fish in pretty good numbers, a smattering of 20+ pounders as well as a few 30's every day when the fish are in.
That whole stretch produces quality fish all season long to bait and eels as well as early morning plug casters.
When a person says they are going to "fish the herring run", that usually means that they will be fishing with live herring at the herring run.
