Use a cast net, best places ive found are around underwater structures

Are you having trouble hooking them...or there not biting?

If not biting, burley up a bit, and throw small pieces of bait on your jigs(bread/pillie/squid etc).

I prefer cast net for Herring+poddies though....

Herring have boney mouths so its pretty hard to set the hook

thanks for the replies, it's to deep for cast net so i'm stuck with jig, i berlied them up today and put squid on hte hooks, still no takers has this happen to anyone other than me, i seem to only be able to get them when the water is dirty (runout) but this is when i like to be upriver live baiting
