Happy Friday everyone I hope all is well. I was wondering if anyone knows if the Herring have started arriving in Newport. I am hoping to get down there this year to get some herring.

I heard they have been there at least a week and were still there yesterday. It looks pretty windy until Wednesday or so, but should be good after that.

Perfect thank you

Just an update on herring. I fished today from 1p-3p and got an easy limit. I fished the South Beach Marina. There seemed to be lots of fish still and the weather is good all week.

really appreciate your report, ;D I read it about 7am, got loaded up and headed for Newport about 9am. on the water 11am to 2:30pm, got most of my 95 (~18pounds) across the river by the CG station but there were lots in the South Beach Marina when I came back there. great conditions, just breezy. cheers, roger

my first time catching 'sex herring', just kept it simple- wiped each down on a towel and laid out for vacuum seal and freeze. got some small enough for fall salmon (four packs of 6), and some 6 packs of slightly larger, and some that might get crushed by a big lingcod later this year. and some big enough to probably be great crab bait, froze them 4 to a bag.
or as my son replied when I explained it to him- "got it, fishing to then do more fishing and catch larger tasty fish. not rocket surgery dad."
