I use a old snap, put one end through the hole on the flasher and the other to the top swivel on the sabiki. You could use mono too if a snap is not handy just make a loop and be sure its a small loop otherwise it may tangle, but the snap is the way to go, you could also use split rings if they are handy but the snap is nice because you can remove if need be for a longer cast, good question diesel
I tried today both north and south shore ( central li ) and skunked. I think I'll travel west south shore next week. I'm interested in trying your herring marinara recipe 💪
The answer to that question lay in variables such as methods used, time of year, fish sought, time constraints, etc, etc, etc... In human terms I will say MANY.
You got it the mitchell 300! My favorite spinner of all times to use all original but I did put the torpedo handle on thanks for watching and commenting!
Just came from the beach in Far Rockaway, NOTHING lol. Those herrings are big Jerry. Guess they didn't come in like last year. Awesome video as always brother.
Thanks desmond nice size on them may do a cooking video with herring this year not sure yet I useually do 1 a year. they should be getting up in numbers soon had em on the ss pretty good I sent you a msg
I had a Garcia reel just like that reel, caught many many Chanel cat on it but was hit by a car with it budgied to my bike along with a few other rods and everything was lost. rip old friend. :-)
Poor old reel, hope you made out unscaved from the accident lived to tell the tale! Love the click on them so sure sound and true! Love your comments thanks Pharraoh!
At this time there is no limit for herring but do check the DEC website annually as they tend to add regs every year, great question, thanks for watching and hope you subscribe to the channel! kindest and tightlines, Jerry
Love that reel! Changed the handle something I should have done many years back now it wont be slipping out between my index and thumb can get it in my palm! thanks as always smokster and tightlines always to you - happy holiday as well!!!!
Hi Jerry, came across this older video you posted, great video as always. Herring marinara sounds interesting, do you pickle, smoke or fried the herring first? Also, do you ever go for white perch in the winter? Thanks and cheers.
Hi Joe thanks! Yea herring marinara is fantastic you reminded may may have to do next year for my cooking vid. I do pickle them here is the video how th-cam.com/video/eyO3h86k3cY/w-d-xo.html I do it. I generally first batch fry them, then pickel then marinara then just plain broil. they are great cold after a broil. I have not winter fished for white perch in some decades but may have to try some nice sunny winter day. I tend to lean to other fw fishing but will see. Thanks as always Joe!
Hi James, it varies but around now, but look after thanksgiving. I had em as early as halloween and as late as may seasons vary. Many years I really didnt start fishing for them after the new years but lately the first and second weeks of dec seem to bring some bounty. theory has it there are 2 runs a winter and spring when the schools cross you have phenomenal years.
I know the ones you talking about had one I used a few season back! Thats a mitchell 300 lots of miles and all original parts- i did change the handle!!!!! I like the torpedo better!
Hi Jerry, Haven't seen you in a while. Glad you're back. Is you Mitchell 300 from the 1960's ? I had one that looks like yours back in 1963. Great idea making the flasher. Fishing has been very slow down in South Jersey. Did you visit Billy Joel when you were in Oyster Bay ? Thanks, Mickey
Its a old one from the late 70's Mickey - old trusty changed the handle out on it recently love the torpedo better grip for a full rack of em! I believe his house is some where of that island off the right foreground, i will say hi for you when I see him! Always the best comments and thanks as always Mickey!
I'm gonna fish "your way" Jerry...not mine 'cause you're the one who's always catchin'! Looks like fun...glad to see the Mitchell 300 out too. Tightest sir... Frank
The old mitchell! like taking a old car for a ride around town, even gets that crooked sideways eyed look any good solid rusty loud classic gets when driving through town! Tightlines frank!
The can be still around! give it a go, also there is a spring run too! Just have to poke around till you find some, useually youll see a million people if they are sure there Thanks castro
Hey Jerry, the Mitchell 300 was my first reel back in 1969 then I bought a Mitchell 308 for trout fishing. I remember having to replace the bail springs twice a year. Enjoy your posts. Keep a tight line and Merry Christmas.
The 308's are awesome, need to do my springs someday, when it gets cold cold the bail freezes a tad and i have to flip the rest of the way, if you doing the springs 2x a year I bet you were fishing like crazy with lots of trouts on the mark!!! good stuff thanks for watching and commenting Thaddeus
Water was beautiful was tempted to set up on the grass and rod for bass who knows but its fun throwing a line in these conditions! thanks for watching and commenting modkilla
Much welcome Grandpa! You can use any kind of aluminum, I have used plain foil, bottom of baking pans, cans and plenty more these are diamond plate but anything flashy will get it done. thanks for watching and taking the time to comment - Jerry
So as far as how you attach the flasher ...you add a snap to the swivel that's already on the Sabiki rig ? Or is there another way you attach it ?
I use a old snap, put one end through the hole on the flasher and the other to the top swivel on the sabiki. You could use mono too if a snap is not handy just make a loop and be sure its a small loop otherwise it may tangle, but the snap is the way to go, you could also use split rings if they are handy but the snap is nice because you can remove if need be for a longer cast, good question diesel
FishJonesBeach Awesome idea Jerry ...now I have to go on a hunt for shiny material LOL
Anything flat and silver will get it done! Have fun with it add a snap and good to go!!!
Great video thanks 😊
Thanks Jeffrey 😊 always love the comments much appreciate!
Hi Jerry you can't find the old Mitchell 300 reels anymore 🐟
I know they are great one place to check is ebay they may have some old ones there
I tried today both north and south shore ( central li ) and skunked. I think I'll travel west south shore next week. I'm interested in trying your herring marinara recipe 💪
Yea it slowed a little, I went a little monday did not see much and heard most the same. Maybe next moon will draw them in!!!
Thanks for all.your information. On my down time I made my own flashers the way you demonstrated from a pie pan. Thank you again
Excellent! They work great and LAST too! Much appreciate watching commenting and subscribing!
Hey Jerry, have you tried this spot for squid?
I did a few time can get nuts there!
ibe been their before
Its a fun pier to fish thanks for watching!
Wow cant touch herring huge fines
You mean bluebacks or river herring I assume, these are atlantic herring
Always love your videos. I’ve never fished for herring but now that Striper season has faded, looks like fun.
A great way to spend a cold winter afternoon fishing! Thanks Joseph
So, how many fishing trips yield success? 2 out of three? 2 out of five?
The answer to that question lay in variables such as methods used, time of year, fish sought, time constraints, etc, etc, etc... In human terms I will say MANY.
Which month do you usually choose for herring fishing?
You can start checking now, nov-may they can pop in anytime!
I’m going on 65 this year, I recognize that reel. Mitchell I believe.
You got it the mitchell 300! My favorite spinner of all times to use all original but I did put the torpedo handle on thanks for watching and commenting!

What's the best time of the year for Herring, Jerry?
Hi James, it varies but around now, but look after thanksgiving. I had em as early as halloween and as late as may seasons vary. Many years I really didnt start fishing for them after the new years but lately the first and second weeks of dec seem to bring some bounty. theory has it there are 2 runs a winter and spring when the schools cross you have phenomenal years.
The Flash gets it done....Nice Herring 4 the Pickler!!
Cant beat the flash - and pickled herrings! Really makes a diffrence somedays thanks Wes!
