time to scale down the gear
There is still an amazing amount of bait in the local northshore waters. i will be putting an aggressive attempt at smelting. I looked over the side of the docks in town, and the water was paved with spearing. Under them was smelt. Under them were 8 inch pollock. I may cast net next years fluke bait, then try to trick the wily smelt. i got 4 jigs in sunday (phone call from command control told me i had to pick up my spawn, killing the hour i had put aside to jig), and i had 8 small pollock in under a minute (c n r). With all the regs changes in our furture, i think you have to learn to enjoy the fish, no matter what size they are.
