Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: need a little help from my fishing friends

The only law I could find on fish and game's website regarding herring was a limited closure to COMMERCIAL fishermen. Any boat not targeting herring can take up to 2000lbs of "incidental" catch even during these closures.
I don't see why they wouldn't be allowed for bait? Maybe the law has been "misspoken" as it has passed from person to person?
We caught more herring last summer than mackerel when we fished for striper bait... unless something major happened, I don't see there being a lack of herring.
This is my opinion based on what I found at the NH F&G website... do not accept it as gospel... I could be wrong?
Please post if anyone has more info.
