3 little Herring
 

Went to a herring run over the weekend with animal. Low water wasnt expecting to see much, then there they were. 3 little herring making their way upriver in skinny water, god bless their little hearts. Now Im waking up at sun up :wall:

I cant picture them without a circle hook in their backs :hidin: Herring on 25 feet of line with a big balsa thill float at the 25'mark, sliding back into a nice smooth current :horse: they were alot of work but man were they fun

Yep. One wishes to liveline Mackeral from the beach :tooth:

Ah, yes. Fond memories of netting herring at Gilbert Stuart and livelining at Sprague Bridge.
I had the nicest livewell I built for the back of my Blazer. A dozen herring would last 4 or 5 hours. Recirulating bilge pump plugged into the truck.

Alas, all gone!:drool:

Hey Vic! Remember the night you called me at 2:00 AM and I answered the phone? We ended up fishing the East side of PJ Light.

Ha! Only person I knew would be out. I could set my watch by your parking habits :)

Funny s..hit

We gotta fish together this year. It's been too long!

Still got the keep alive system that worked great as long as you used the foam filter to keep the scales from clogging the pump. I can remember the made dash with the bucket to the floating laundry basket before I bought the live well.

Anyway , it was a lot of fun but it was a lot of work too!

Lotsa herring swimming around yesterday when I drove by - always a right of spring...

I doubt the herring remember the days of hooks in their backs so fondly. Just sayin.' :)

cormorants swallowing herring around my haunts sunday. no luck with schoolies.

I've yet to see a single herring in the Bournedale run :(

And the people who have, haven't seen many. :doh:

It's a later run it should pick up in the next week or so.
