Hi Folks:

I'm Arnie and I am pleased to make your acquaintances. I surf fish the metro area most times of the year.

Are there any reports of herring running? I fish the NY/Ct shoreline piers and there are none here. I called tackle shops in the Jones Beach area today, and they also have no positive reports. Anybody else that can weigh in on this.

To a fantastic 2023........

Arnie, it might be nothing but there's a ton of Stripers in the Housatonic River in CT feeding on giant schools of bait. It might be herring. Check the area between the Merritt Parkway and Sikorsky.

I caught 55 hickory shad at Manasquan last year.

Been tossing Sabiki rigs in Jamaica Bay and have been catching bucket full of Herring.. I pickle a couple and with most of them I rig them with a 9/0 hook that has wire leader on it. And then I freeze it to be used as bait come spring for Blue fish..
