Did you know river herring spend most of their lives in coastal waters before traveling up rivers only to spawn?
Did you know sea herring primarily stay offshore and under certain circumstances come inshore to feed (here in mass we see them in march and late fall, every so often fish get blown in shore)
Its quite to difficult to distinguish a sea herring from a river herring just by catching them in the bay. Especially with small sizes, if one gets an adult sea herring then its quite the different story.
Again its only herring, then again its only the law.
