Herring for bait.

 G'day all. Out of idle curiosity I'm just wondering whether anyone has used herring for bait up north with any success. Thanks, John.

I've used them baitcasting for Cobia with good success. They have a bit more weight behind them for a cast than a scalie mackerel. Got a decent spangled emperor once too. I figure most fish can't tell which fish are what, but nothing gets wasted in the food chain.
