Alewife harvesting for bait


Recommended Posts

The gill net used was one having a one inch stretch mesh. It was very selective in taking alewife. You will probably be considered as raping the alewife population and shunned by neighbors.

Mine say size 6. They look like a pearl white with a glow green head paint. Set up a braid line counter rod with a weight at bottom of rig. Find a school of bait and send your rig down to depth match they are showing on fishfinder to line counter on reel. Keep movements small-no snap jigging. When you get the hang of it you start trying to bring up multiples at once.
