Gillnetter says season was worth it, but not for the money June 3rd 11:16 am |

The herring harvest this spring was about average for gillnetter Frank Woods. But the season came with a few surprises: The fish came in ripe, and were spawning as they came in, he said. And the age-class composition was mixed before they even hit the shore.
Some fish usually spawn as they enter the district, but Woods said normally, many spawn only after they reach warmer waters closer to shore.
Seiners reported that mixed age classes made targeting bigger fish difficult. Woods started fishing about a week after the opener, and by then, the fish were smaller.
