i am using grass shrimp. ill try worms next time, but ill also use shrimp. this friday im probally going there. ill be fishing all out. ive collected all of the dead shrimp, some sea worms, tommy cod bits and pieces, smelt heads and what ever was in my freezer that i couldn't recognize and made a chum block, i used some hardware cloth and made a chum holder "thingy". not to mention a lantern. when i was there last friday the guys next to me caught 1. my bait kept dissapearing and we didnt know what was doing it and my friend pulled up on big buncker that was doing all the damage to our bait supply. i ve only been smelting once so i guess i might just have to get accustomed to it. those 3 little things were delicious, had em for breakfast on a bagle.
...........just read your post tobiko while typing. it seems we think alike. i wonder if light would attract them also? might attract shrimp or other bait and then eventually to the smelt. ill try a bunch of things on friday. do you think the day is better than the night, or night better than day?
