If you are using herring legally then it is sea herring and probably a bit mushy - it is illegal to use river herring right now... If you are chunking, switch to mackeral and bunker, tossing chunks means moving to avoid the skates... Try to move to spots where deep, rocky water is in range of your chunk, also look to chunk (when & where safe) at night as bigger gals come out at that time...

Once you've got your chunking gear setup and comfortable, switch over to a lighter spinning rod and cast and retreive some storm shads - bunker color - and see if you get something on the swimming lure instead of the soaking chunk..

Good luck...

add some small tins and poppers in the mix. there are legal keepers around the shores in boston haba. i ran into a guy two weeks ago and he caught a keeper and released one in quincy.

yeah, u can try fishing at night. use lures on the moving water and use baits on the slack water.

alternatively, hire bill and juls. they will teach u. i still use their lessons and it works. im catching fish without any problem.

Try adding a float to keep the bait off the bottom a bit.

Move around, head south, there are plenty of shore spots to fish.
