Alot of smelt over at Fort Adams!!! between 2 and 7 inches.
ya gotta sort them thru the baby pogies and little herring...

Also schoolies can be caught jigging for Mack's...
and mackerel are still there in sizes from 6" to 24" although yesterday was a slow day for the bigger mack as i only saw 2-3 monsters in other peoples buckets.. the rest were all about 10 - 12"

tons' of baby pogies!!! about 2 inches in length.. also Herring upto 7 inches can be jigged aswell...

I went yesterday jigged up about 80 macks and i got to feed the seagulls some...

Also brought my minnow trap and a can of tuna in oil.. popped a few holes in the can and dropped it in just about 3' under the surface and in the course of an hour i got me atleast 2 quarts of smelt. Of course i sorted the big (about 2 dozen or so in the 6" - 7") added salt ,pepper and some fine white corn flour.... mmmmmmmm

hehe and i tell my son it's the best french fries you'll ever eat... hehe..
ooh this was caught at the piers not at the point..
