Herring

Herring

After 5 years away I am back for more.  Previously on Ontario I used lures only, perch and silver rapalas early spring then mostly spoons but I read people are now using herring.  Growing up in Seattle I used to drift/mooch herring on Possesion Bar in Puget Sound, is this the same concept?  Drift a cut plug a herring behind a sinker and a flasher?  Is there a big enough current in Ontario for this or do I troll really slow?  I have heard people use the term meat rig, same as cut plug herring or?
 

Any advice would be great

We mostly use strips of cut bait/herring and troll with it sometimes by itself, sometimes with a flasher . I sometimes use live herring and troll for lakers at speeds of less than 2 mph. Maybe the system you you used in Puget sound works here just fine. Try and let us know.
