Where exactly is the blood knot needed?

easy , Tim said he will help me out with publishing few more pics ....  just chill ... he is working right now ...

This seems really fun and interesting. What kind of meals do FWR members prefer done with Herring? What is the retention limit on Herring?

me prefer pickled , limit is 20 kgs per day

just double checked with DFO , tidal fraser exception , 2 hooks barbless only as I thought , and belcarra as many as you want .

Remember..single hook for surfperch!   

Photos as promised:








May be helpful to point out where the blood knot is b/c I can't see it.

I had mine cooked up fresh on the same day..fins and head off, scaled, then butterflied..lightly seasoned and coated with flour before deep frying until crispy. I try to remove most of the bones from fillets but it's not necessary- the bones are edible when cooked (like smelt).   From what I've read pickling does help firm up the meat a bit..maybe I'll do that to my next batch..now searching for a good pickling recipe.

on the last picture u can clearly see it , its on the fist kink from left and on the last section couple inches below hook .
the problem is 6 hooks jigs and spacing between hooks about 7-8 inches so if too lazy u can avoid bloodknot by making only 2 setups by cutting right against 2 middle hooks on both sides or you can caut it between the hooks and use bloodknot to extend line , im pretty sure that last picture is middle section .

When fishing for bait we use an umbrella rig.  Super easy to use, doesn't tangle.  Casts easily, has built in flash.  No jerry rigging.

I bet you will be the talk of the dock if you bust one of these out and start slaying along side the 'oldtimers' out there.  They won't know what them.



There are a lot of names, sizes and styles for them, like Alabama Rig, Tennesee Rig etc.  Have a look around, they are dynamite when used legally of course.

I've seen those umbrella rigs used for bass on TV before.
Looks like a small dog jumped in when it hits the water.

Yeah, some of them when loaded up with big heavy swim baits can cause a ruckus.  There are very small ultralight ones used for panfish like bluegill and crappie etc. that are what I was getting at for herring.

[hrenya]

I`ve seen those used for bass but as I mentioned above only 2 hooks at fraser and this setup looks like more complicated

How far do the herring swim up the tidal Fraser? I've always thought you'd have to go down to Steveston to catch them.
