I've been reading about the fantastic smelt fishing in around Bostom harbor. Is there anywhere one can catch smelt in Rhody?
Wheres and whens would be much appreciated.

I've caught Smelt at Fort Adams and over at Goat Island bridge a few weeks ago with hayabusa sabiki rigs size 6, they were about 4-5" in length.

I've also caught smelt over on the warfs in galilee and on the beach side stone wall... excelent fluke bait.. about 2 years ago..

it depends i guess on how they feel... i caught tinkers,smelt, and butterfish at the brightman st bridge about 4 years ago..

and banged a weakfish at peires beach (almost brackish) 5 years ago throwing the old kastmaster for schoolies.

point is ya never know what your going to catch so bring everything... lol... (back problems)

Thanks! I was thinking of try the state pier in Jerusalem when the wether get colder? Fluke bait is exactly what I had in mind!
