Live Herring ... striper "candy" around these parts ;) ... :D :D ...the 1st one hit as Mike was settin' the 1st bait of the day out :o ;D ...

Re: Make like a baby and head out...
 

Nice stripers Reel

How did you rigged the herring?

Nowadays live scup/porgies are producing bass around here, we rig'em on a three way swivel, 2 foot dropper for the sinker and a 4+ foot leader with a 7/0 circle hook plus a 5/0 octopus has a stinger ;)

Re: Make like a baby and head out...
 

We call it free-lining...single hook on the end of the line, herring hooked thru the nostrils (minimal damage) and put it out behind the boat as Electric trollin' motor moves SLOW ... plus down-lines same as above, but w/swivel and 1.5 oz. lead 5' above hook ... w/side-planers on two outside free-lines, we'll pull as many as 8 lines around like that; 4 free-lines and 4 down-lines ... it'll get 'em ;) ;D ...

Re: Make like a baby and head out...
 

Nothing better then fishing with live bait 8)
Specially on top, seeing a bass toy with the herring/bunker with a few tail slaps and nuges then grabbing on and peeling of line ;D ;D
