Didn't know you were into making your own lead for sinkers! Do you do anything other than lead: copper, tin, or iron?

OK so smelt is a fish, too.

I have never been I always say Im gonna go ,but EVERY YEAR It never works out:wall:

Paul, I have a couple of smelt rods if you need any.

I'm down if you go on a sunday, always a good time, even if there are no smelts around....I talked to someone from one of the usual spots and they did ok a week or two ago, something like 50 of them in a few hrs

My FEDEX guy is obsessed with smelting in January. He's asked twice allready. First time he went last year he came home with 98 #'s. His whole neighborhood in Carver had smelt for the winter.
