Wouldn't know where to find them in close, and to risk misidentifying them ; )
I think it is cool they want to catch their own  |

This.
Also, check the well known spring squid spots... Herring and Macks often make an appearance there in Nov/Dec, but not a guarantee. |

The CT side of LI Sound doesn't have near the run seen on the NY side, and the south side of Long Island is even better. They can be had in smallish numbers in places like Milford Harbor and the Norwalk River, but I have not heard of any that far inside the Sound yet this year.
As noted, hickory shad may be a better and much easier option right now (I couldn't get through them to the bass recently in one of my holdover spots) and from what I have heard they are just as good as sea herring both smoked and pickled. Just keep in mind that on the hickories here in CT there is a 6-fish bag limit.
