There was a good push a couple weeks ago at Gils, but sense then its been sparse . Ive been checking a 5 others every couple days and havent seen a single one in those personally, but did see a few scales around the bank. The DEM has been out a LOT more at the runs this season checking. Also saw them loading up a herrig truck to stock another area , last week.

John..
Echoing above, the beer crowd at 3p mirrored what I've seen when I stop by for a walk... The run has seemed to be 'pulsing' I thought the high rain was the cuprit, coupled with a lot of NE, NW wind.... but now I'm stymied...
Saw evidence of herring in other parts of the river... I'll call you later and we'll chat...

The CTDEP has closed all runs for the taking of herring for the last couple of years. I cannot understand why the surrounding states are so slow in recognizing that there is a problem. Sure there will always be poachers, but something has to be done.
I think they need to look closer at what is going on with the offshore herring vessels, like the Russian processing ships that are supposed to be targetting Atlantic Herring. I have been told by State Fisheries biologists that it is difficult to tell the difference between an Atlantic herring and a river run herring. I believe that they do not have a full understanding of what those boats are doing to the fishery as a whole.

We have cormorants coming out the ass already down here. If it would make you feel better, and I can get the SOBs to listen to me, I'll gladly send them north  |

The one on the top in the pic looks like a atalntic sea herring.they are generally much thinner than alewife's.They may be longer also. they usually show up here in NJ in late nov-dec. blue backs are for the most part smaller than alewifes an well... more blue.Also not as hardy for livelinen they don't hold up well at all. |
