I caught whole bunch of them today. They do run in spring along with bunch of mackerel.

But be careful. Only Atlantic herrings are regal to catch other type of herring is illigal and fine is very stiff. $500 for each fish, if you caught 10of under limit or prohevited species fine will be $5000. Ouch!

So learn before you having fun.

Good luck

Ahh yes I heard of the 4 species of herring and the atlantic herring being the only one we should be catching and keeping. lol

Didn't realize the fine was THAT expensive. lol

I'm from the New york city area. Going to try to see if anyone around jones beach/fire island or east long island know of any good herring fishing spots. =]

Thanks for the reply and info!
