The Ultimate Herring Thread

...lenny, fishing live bait is like opening a bag of "Ruffles".........you never want it to end!!!!!!

...there are almost NO guarantees in life...but this is one of them!!!

I guarantee you'll LOVE LIVE BAIT FISHING!!!

..seems like a lot of work, catching and then keeping them alive. Is it worth the effort?...

...is walking a mile to your favorite sand-bar worth it??... Is it still worth it if you didn't catch anything?

...is walking on bowling-ball sized rocks which are constantly moving under your feet in wet waders after casting for 5 hours ..worth it??

...is trespassing thru someone's property, running from barking dogs...hopping fences....just to wet a line....worth it??

...If you answered NO, to ANY of these questions.......don't bother lugging a herring tank/basket/net around, it just won't be worth it..

Bloocrab your right. I do alot of stuff now thats a pain for little or no payoff. If I caught a #40 or close using live bait it would change the way I think about it. That being said, a pole a couple plugs, 10 minite walk and I 'm fishing.

Oh boy... here come the delirium tremors again .... withdrawal is much harder when the object of your desire is being dangled in front of your face.
