JJ, alot of folks freeve them for bait later or chum

March 27th is the last Wednesday of the month and usually the first day they allow taking herring. You won't see any live wells anytime soon. But I know bassmaster wants to do some kind of mad trip to Montauk and bring along a gazillion live herring, since I have 2- 55 gal. live wells and he has 2 also.
I was there today testing pikes and tuning them. Lots of herring coming up the shoot.
