They push the herring close to shore, but not necessarily shallow. I was out with MikeyTopaz and JimmyLiveBait a few weeks ago and we found them busting on surface herring in 32ft of water near a dropoff on the main lake. Pretty much just listen for action. If its quiet, keep moving. If you hear bricks being thrown into the water, start casting.

P.S.: you 100% can use your yak. I wouldnt do Lake Hopatcong on a friday or Saturday night, but one of the 9.9 lakes, or one of the big lakes during the week, and you'll be good and not get run over lol.
