Fisheye,
Great Pictures, thank you!!
You asked:
How do you like to rig your herring?

I always hook bait fish in mouth and out nose, the only down side I find is the bluefish return only 1/2 the bait.
This year I'm going to try and rig some dead ones to bounce off the bottom.

What's the most imortant factor in keeping them alive?

For the live well I try to use the same water the fish come out of, and a block of ice in a plastic bag if it's hot out.


How do you keep your herring stash fresh & frisky?

The herring I get don't get the option of living fresh and frisky they go by Dead or Alive (Bon Jovi can be heard in the backround)
the dead ones get bagged and frozen, and then become chunks or chum, the live ones standby waiting for there turn on the hook.
