I know most of us use lures and other live bait for spot or yellow perch. But I think a lot of people use Herring for offshore species?
I've never bought or used it for anything. Anyone else? |

Herring are great bait in spring for big Catfish.
I know 2-3 guys use them near Annapolis for Rock in late April / early May. They would get fresh ones from DC and fish them as cut bait on bottom in 25 to 35 feet. Frozen was not worth putting on the hook according to them. |
So this really doesn't have a huge impact on us?
We can still use fresh and frozen bait; it just has to come from outside of the state? And it can still be bought and sold in state? So it might just raise the price of it.....just like everything else when government gets involved.:rolleyes: |

When it was first brought up by DNR, they were pleased that they didn't have to submit a plan to the feds for a reduced quota. Why? Because they would have had to do a study and they didn't have the time or the personnel to do one. When no objection on a ban was presented from the commercial sector, DNR was pleased as punch. |
Reds; I can use your input here. How does this work? If you have a pound net, when you empty it, do the commercial guys just throw back the river herring?
