Herring In Goat Island
#3
[quote name='ahgigi' timestamp='1305048808' post='22220']

I had seen people catching herring using the sabiki rig and they were catching 2 or 3 fish when a school came in on Goat Island. I used to tie a herring hook or a sabiki hook about 12" above my squid jigs and I would catch herring when squid were slow. One time I even hooked a striper! Then someone told me that you can't keep herring so I stopped doing the practice. Not sure about RI but I am sure Mass you can't keep herring. I never bother to find out whether you can keep herring in RI or not since I didn't want to invite trouble so I just stopped doing it.

People that told you that you cannot keep herring definitely are not fishermen. You can keep see herrings you just can't keep the fin types that go up river. Any herring you catch on a sabiki in the bay I'm 100% positive you can keep. Unless you snag the a blueback at the mouth of rivers. People are so dumb sometimes... <sigh>
