Sounds as if there was a night raid in the state of Michigan. All stores that bought herring strips or whole herring from a New York dealer just had all of it taken.
Sounds as if the supplier said it was VHS tested and it was not.

My understanding is the VHS testing is expensive and passed on to the consumer making herring strips really expensive. Sounds like a New York dealer tried to find a way around it.  We switched over to Ballyhoo strips..

Correct on the expense. I was told last night that the cost is around 2 grand.

I was told that Tackle Haven was one of the stores that got theirs taken.

Good thing the alewives have been easy to snag.

If you find them (especially nearshore) just use a Sabiki rig to get em.  :)
