Does tide matter for smelt fishing?

No but smelt do!:smash: Took my kids smelt fishing last weekend and today and got none!:( Can you believe that!:confused: They did however get a few small cod though on their Sabiki rigs.:huh:

They were happy!:D

okay, thanks, larry. ;)

I go over to the docks by 'The Tent' (or whatever it's called now) at Marina bay during lunch alot. everyone seems to have plenty smelt in their buckets each time I go, so I'd say tide doesn't make a big difference (The guy in Fore River bait seems to be the local expert). I think tiny trout hooks or the smallest hook on sabiki's would do the trick.

i guess that i can go this friday. however, i hope that rick doesnt close early like he has been lately.
