Floating herring question.

[Moses]

Was down the canal today and only people I saw catching were using bait, both live herring and dead mackerel/pogies. Multiple keeper fish taken while I was there. Of course I wasn't one of them.

I am going to employ the "bobber" method tomorrow in a few rips utilizing chunk bait and eels. Will let you know how it goes. And I agree, the thought of using a bobber makes me laugh.......

i was fishing down the beach last night and i caught zip, zilch, nuttin on a semi floating herring and with my other line i was pluggin.

This guy 20 yards down was sitting on top of a bucket with a chunck of mackerl sitting on the bottom, maybe 25 yards out and slammed a 30#....Slightly jealous but happy to see that its possible in this spot.

use the long bobbers instead of round plastic ones, you could paint it black.
