I used to fish for fresh water smelt on Lake Champlain as a kid. My grandfather had shantys out on the lake. We'd move them around to fish for perch/pickeral/pike...and then to the deep water for smelt.

Now that I have a taste for the bigger fish, I don't like smelting any more. Going out on a frigid lake to catch bait doesn't appeal to me anymore.

Smelt might taste good, but they make better bait for lake trout and salmon.
