FishnTechnician Member Registered: 03/01/03 Posts: 1652	I'm sure this has been asked, but I searched and couldn't find it. So, I know you can't possess river herring. I have a few bags of Atlantic Herring I caught last fall over in Montaulk that I want to use for bait up in the river this year. Is there any restriction on this? If I get checked can ENCON tell the difference in the herring species? ( cause I can't ) Also I was going to get a flat of herring from the tackle shop and break it up into bags. Is that OK to have also? Edited by FishnTechnician (04/05/12 03:46 PM) ...Frank...Born to Fish Forced to Work

Here's a couple good websites from Maryland and Maine that really explains the differences.
