Fished herring, then no more herring. Fished pogies, then no local pogies last year... seiners wiped them out. Fished macks all last year. But herring always got the most aggressive strikes of the three species IMO.

I've been fishing about 9 years now I think and I don't know that it was ever an option. I don't know how long it's been banned.

I put my herring bucket in the trash last week
brought a little tear to my eye.
I hope the herring recover some day.
Nothing like feeling that herring pumping a little, then, zing, the line comes off your finger, wait a few, pull back, engage the bail and "fish on". Ya, I miss it, a lot.

Loved it when I did it but not sure if I would bother these days. I used to start collecting them March in Middleboro and keeping them in pool for the next few mths. Lots of work but a lot of fun also. Catching herring was an acquired skill from many of the runs and you needed to be good with a cast net or work in tandem with a buddy. Took 100 livies to MV in the spring a few(well, maybe quite a few now) yrs ago. We picked up the herring in the Charles, made a stop at Bell Road to change the water and let them get a little cool salt in their systems, then of to the ferry. Got on the island at around 1pm, bright sunny Sat afternoon. Stopped at the Big Bridge which was loaded with fishermen and nobody had done a thing. Walked out in the middle of the crowd and dropped a herring over and the shadows immediately rose up from below. They were STACKED under the bridge but without a live herring, you didn't have a chance. Good Times but I am getting exhausted just thinking about it!

i do like hearing about when herring were a part of the game. It also keeps me mindful of how dynamic the fishery is |
