[quote name='basser' post='14686' date='Apr 30 2009, 03:52 PM']I was pretty sure herring (alewives) fed on plankton and never heard they would hit a lure or jig, that seems very odd to me. Also, are you sure people are using herring as bait and not bunker(menhaden, pogies)??? A lot of timed people confuse them[/quote]
This time of year on GI bridge they are definitely Herring. I used to catch loads them there years ago when they were legal. Pogies/menhaden are the plankton eaters. Thats why you got net/snag them.
