Wait, are you guys talking about Blueback herring or some other kind. We get some fish we call "river herring" in the late fall here. I've snagged a couple when I hit the schools of peanuts. Very stinky fish. I couldn't get the smell out of my hand for 3 days. The only other "herring" I know of are alewives. Maybe what we call alewives, you call herring. You know, a regional name. We get them in Spring. They come up the tidal rivers and we get a few live ones. Once I get a car and a keep alive bait tank, the fish won't know what hit them.

I have one friend who got 3 live alewives, put them in a garbage can with water, threw them in the back of his hatchback and raced down to the marina. First cast, had a 30+ inch fish on.
