I just want to provide an update on the annual herring spawn. I stop doing the herring spawn thread here on NCKA but i do have an active one on my website and blog for those who are interested.

The herring are in the Bay. I got some decent reports from reliable sources that there are fish pushing in.  Can't say when they will spawn but just glad to know they are in the bay.  Good luck herring hunters. --TLA

Thanks for the info Keith.   Hopefully the big fish follow the Herrings to the bay  :smt001

Good stuff, I have been holding off on Sausalito hoping they will travel East.

Gotta work tomorrow but it would be really nice if the herring where at Richmond on Saturday. 🙂

Worth it to drive there (from Sacramento) after work today? Or should I try tomorrow on the outgoing tide?
