Those are sea herring the ones you use for bass are river herring which are also in trouble and will have a total moritorium on them in 2012.
Wow finchaser I did not know that. I just put up a post asking how to keep herring this year because I am new at it and I dont want to waste them.
Even though I want to use them because guys tell me it is an insane bait to use for big bass, I would not do that if it was illegal. My question is, if they are in danger, why not make the moratorium now instead of 2010?:huh:
Also, why penalize the small guys when it seems with the herring that the commercial fishermen take most of them. I don't agree with a moratorium if they don't stop the commercial guys as well.
moritorium means no one fishes for themQuote:

1) you need a fresh water fishing license to catch them
2) no more than 3 hooks so if you use a sabiki rig you need to cut it in half
No more bait pens for them either.:(
I know a few guys in SJ who are more than a little unhappy about that. Can people spell non-compliance here?:burn:
