Atlantic Herring fishing
About Atlantic Herring
The Baltic herring, a small silver fish caught in shoals on a sabiki at dawn and dusk. Piers, breakwaters and bridges over deeper water are the classic places, and a shoal can arrive and leave inside half an hour. Drop the rig down, lift it slowly and let it fall, and read the rod tip rather than waiting for a pull. Late autumn and early spring are the strongest periods, and in winter the shoals sit deeper.
Typical size: Usually 15-25 cm.
