One way I used to catch herrings for cat food and to feed a pet seagull we had was to put bread in the bottom of an Agee jar held down with wire netting and tie a string and a float to the jar, plop them over the side of the dinghy and row around checking the other jars, usually get 3 to a jar.

Haha. Back in the old cuntry () we livened up our maggots in the winter by putting a few in our mouth. True story
