If anyone is interested in a smelt trip let me know. I can probably get a better deal - like free shanty rental. the only problem is that it is a long drive and would most likely require lodging. I have family and friends that have shanty's up in Vermont on Lake Champlain. I haven't been in years, but we used to fill 5 Gallon buckets. And as I said in a previous post - the best bait to catch smelt......smelt. Fillet the last inch to 1 1/2inches off near the tail, not only does it catch - it is durable. you can fish 3 or 4 fillets all day to fill a bucket.

Keep lines wet and tight in the pacific
