    Hey nitwit, go fishing. Hehe couldn't resist nice name.

    I have not gone for herring yet, and I am leaving town for the weekend so no go for me this week. With the warmer weather settling it can't be long I HOPE!! I have heard however, that the shad are being caught and one herring was supposedly caught as a bycatch so it can't be too long!

    There are no herring in the Big D yet. I was in Atlantic Co. today and got 4 and lost 3 on the way to the bucket. The run is still spotty down there as much as I can tell in talking to people.
