Herring anyone?

(1/4) > >>

Widgeon11:
Curious if anyone has been out jigging for herring lately? Feel like the spawn should be on…

Sundance:
I went for a morning in February, it was hard to find them and stay on them. We caught a couple pounds is all, need to get out there again to restock the bait supply.

Angry Perch:
I really want to learn to catch herring. I have a an abundance of Sabiki rigs and a complete lack of knowledge.
Help!

Pretty easy once you find the herring.   Just slowly drift your rig into the school, slowly work it up and down.  When you feel the tap, tap, tap … don’t react (let more take the lures) … keep it slow or still until the taps increase in frequency (multiple fish on), then smoothly bring it in. 

 Slowly and smoothly are the key.  Jerk the jig and will lose fish.  React too quickly and you will catch one or two, or no herring.
