Sea herring? December was when we would start to see schools of sea herring in the inlets and bays on Long Island. At Montauk, you could see gannets by the hundreds feeding on them. Guys would catch them 3-4 at a time on Sabiki rigs from the Jones Beach fishing piers. We just bought some picked local herring the other day, and you just motivated me to have a few. They call them "glass master's herring" here for some reason.
