Thank you ... throw a plug ... leave the herring for the bass ,,, no herring, no bass ,,. it will only get better and better .. Don't be so eager to stomp on them .. Everyone is doing fine without lobbing herring ..

I agree with you guys. This will only be my 5th season surfcasting, I've never used a herring and see no need to now. Considering how fragile Herring stocks can be, they'd be better leaving them alone.

It was fun though..... even if it was a lot of work.

I did it ... Took the day off from work to get my herring permit every year .. I see it as glorified shiner fishing .. Between spawning , dropping back and then the fry dropping out the herring do enough to get us bass .. When the run is dead so is the bass fishing .. Can't believe we're even talking about this, with the slightest improvement .. Plus live lining is cheating ... No bonus points ..

It would be nice to harvest river herring for lobster bait again......
