I hooked a herring in the nose and cast it out and caught a striper once. Wasn't too difficult. I've drifted in a boat while dropping a herring down with a rubber core sinker on the line and caught bass that way too. Herring are very fragile bait, and are pressured too much lately in my opinion.
I plan to toss plugs and rubba this year and stand next to BM and catch fish while he tosses out herring til he can't take it anymore. I still have some in the freezer I can use for chum.
Lots of info here Mike, nice post.
