Re: Smelt fishing
I give you credit. Smelting isn't as fruitful as years past.

Re: Smelt fishing
You could also hit the ice now and try to catch a meal of them. I have seen a lot of them the last couple times out.

I know some folks fishem and I heard there big, But Ill wait till they start spawning. That way I can dip more. I caught a full bucket last spring, and it will be crazy if its still a glacier in the late spring

Re: Smelt fishing
When I was a kid my Dad used to take my smelt fishing and he would take two buckets and put a 6 pack and ice in each one and walk the pier in Milwaukee on lake Michigan and when he would see a group with several buckets and no beer he would say "trade you buckets" and he always got takers... We would get two buckets of smelt in 15 minutes.

Re: Smelt fishing
My dad tells stories about the good ol days where they would fill a 30 gallon drum (don't ask me what they did with that many smelt) in a couple hours. He always follows up with a story about how if you are hauling 30 gallons of smelt in the back of a panel van you should either strap the barrel in or don't slam on the brakes when a deer runs in front of you.
