HERRING FISHING – Looking for Herring from Long Island to Brooklyn back to Queens. Herring are herring. There or NOT. That does not mean you can’t make a day fishing for them even if the herring are not biting. In this video I talk about what to look for if you are planning to go herring fishing. In the middle I got to meet Justin at Magnolia Pier Bait and Tackle – https://www.magnoliapier.com Justin has everything you need to fish the pier any season in stock with plenty of herring rigs. The link is below along with Lorenzo’s, Ryan’s and Nico’s who are local anglers at the pier.

I hear that familiar clicking sound of a Mitchell reel. We must be coming up on herring season. Happy New Year!
Beautifull day but water soo placid was not usually good for fishing great for looking….Be well
They are here. This week on the low tide should be good.
Cool video, boy it was calm out there. My son got his first Crappie ever Sunday morning, the bite was definitely on then. And this video was great for someone like me. It was kind of a good fishing forecast. If you would have shown piles of scales at one of those docks I would have piled the kids in the car and gave it a shot. But if it is still quiet out there I can think of something else to do w them until the herring really push in. Thanks 👍
Thanks for doing all that footwork Jerry! I came up to NJ from VA for the holidays, but was so busy running around I didn't get a chance to scout around for herring! I hear they are just off shore.
Merry Christmas Jerry And Lorenzo
Hi Jerry. I made the same circuit and found nothing except for a few near the Verrazano along the highway. Saw several guys fishing and I stopped at the small parking area. One guy had two or three. Several guys fishing the 69st pier and nothing there. Still hopeful. I’m going to do my yearly New Year’s Day herring fishing. They’ve got to show up soon in better numbers.
Also just want to thank you for all your videos this year. They kept me going when medical issues kept me grounded several times during the year. Hopefully this year we’ll bump into each other along the way.
Happy holidays Jerry to you and yours!!
Looks post-apocalyptic out there. All those spots usually have tons of people on a nice sunny day. Thanks for posting!
Wow! 😮 man, those are alot of Fishing Spots u went through.
Hi Jerry, Today was a fish hunting day. You're right about moving around to find the fish. We shore fishermen need to keep moving to find the fish. Hopefully you find some on your next trip. Take care and good luck, Mickey
They are super late thanks for the report Go Get’em
I like your thinking on using a lure in place of a weight on your sabikis, it`s something I do when I`m deep sea fishing. It makes sense to do because if you`re fishing for macks and herring, blues and stripers will be there too. I typically use a 2 oz. Bridgeport, Hopkins, or Kastmaster, even a big mack will hit them. If blues are in the area use a steel leader between the sabiki and the lure. Great video as always, nice bait and tackle shop as well… too small for gimmicky stuff so these little places use their space for what works. Peace and brother love to you and all.
LUV YA JERRY!, Thanks for the tip, No scat, no scales , no sign, …… but ya did say 6 times, "shoulda brought my fly rod for bass" !! Happens to me too, bring the fly rod, 20 knot winds, leave it home, flat and calm, but at least you're out there covering ground !! Happy New Year!!!!
Where’s the porno flick music
Great video Jerry 🫡 much respect and appreciation for all the time spent on the hunt and sharing the herring scouting report 👍
Is that a vintage Mitchell reel?
Nice hunting I am also getting ready for Herring fishing
We used to do good at the North Chanel bridge
Hai Jerry, hope you had a nice xmas. Fishing is always trying sth and hoping to catch. Maybe next time St. Peter will be nicer to you.
Been a while mate , I learned how to tattoo and was stuck on that for a while but the fishing bug bit me again I had a great last couple weeks catching good fish and shark, I also discovered the aiwa coronet mini !!!!!!! considering buying on of the 5 available on Ebay , have you tried one???
Merry christmas jerry
