Herring fishing

[upchuck]

I'm having an operation tomorrow and will have some free time on my hands.
I never fished for herring before and I'd like to put my time off to good use.
Q: How and where do you fish for them. I'll be confined to land and probably gimping around for a week or so.
General locations and technics and any other help please. I live in the PA. but can travel.

first you will need a freshwater liscense(sp)
then I beleive you can only harvest 35 fish,
sabaki rig will work just fine
egg harbor river to the end at the damn.
good luck

Thanks for the reply,as some as I'm able I'll get it a try. Are herring alcs caught in the Delaware River? That right at my back door.

Yes by the Trenton bridges. What are you going to do with the fish? I have a fish pen you can put them in. It will save me time, if you fill it up for me. :rolleyes: :cool: smile.gif ;) :D

I'm planning to us the herring for bait this year.
