A fast, shad-like fish found in large rivers. Occasionally caught on small jigs or spoons. A good live bait for trophy catfish and striped bass.
No stocking records are on file for Skipjack Herring.
This is common for several reasons: this species may reproduce naturally and not require stocking (e.g. Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike), it may be managed under a different program not tracked here, or records may predate our database. For the most current data, check the Michigan DNR Stocking Database directly.
