time for a smelt run

[niko]

i think it's time to take a ride north. anyone interested in fishing a tide or 2. i can taste them already.

[freebie]

hey Niko, was wondering how things were going with you, when are you thinking about going? I'm off sunday and monday alll winter

[ShipWrecked]

I am game for a smelt run North

[niko]

this monday works for me. sw can you have a sick day monday? freebie, what's up, your buying and selling like a stock broker. i could use a set of hands to tie up some tuna stuff if you got some time. i don't mind driving unless someone got something more effecient 11 mpg tank. this will be fun, i've been stuck on land for far to long.

[ShipWrecked]

I can do a Monday this month

[niko]

if you guys are definite, i'll call and book a camp for monday. do you guys have a preference on which camp? we have room for 1 more.

[Swimmer]

This asian fedex guy comes to station two maybe three days a week. Biggest fishing fool I have ever met. Been on three smelting trips so far this winter and has caught large all three times. He has a friend in Carver, Mass that he considers a smeltin' guru that he travels north with all the time. This reply is just to let you know the fishing has been great.

As for you bubba, you just hone you skills and just make sure you dont go blind doing it. Come spring you might not have any gear to fish! So better get spear ready and get a job

ha! i shall have plenty gear.. well no.. i will just be scraping by. but that wont change anything. i still plan on out fishing every one. so does tom. you guys are goin down this year. i can see it now "but bubba how are you sooo awesome at fishing?! i bought all this fancy stuff and here you are out fishing me with walmart specials. how do you do it?" and i will tke the cigar out of my mouth and i will turn to camera number 2 and i will say "it's all in hips baybay" and then i will turn and walk away. and the girls will be all like


no but seriously.. im biding my time on buying.. plenty of shows coming up to browse around and learn at and find out what my perfect match is.

[MakoMike]

If you guys do another trip later in the season I'd be interested!

i cant help it... it's the only thing i'm good at. which is why i am already out fishing you guys. nothing is more necessary to out fishing people than learning how to talk lots and lots of b.s.

by the way, i already caught 4 fish this year and they were all 35lbs...

^see^

[xyzs]

[B]what in your wet derams that is the only way you will be able to out fish the great onesyou loose

[niko]

are you guys done bsing and hijacking this thread. smelt was the topic

[niko]

sw, i called freebie and he's checking w/ his better half tonight. as far as gear - you don't need much. most of the camps have house gear to use if needed. let me know, paul

[ShipWrecked]

What date are we looking at. I also will have to check with the big chief. Just curios are they shacks heated?? Also what are we talking about cost wise??

[ShipWrecked]

Sorry about that.

[niko]

freebie called and said he's in. as far as cost - 15-20 bucks per person and chip in for gas. the shacks have little heaters or stoves

[freebie]

I'm in Paul(as long as we're home monday night sometime), also down with tying up some tuna gear if you need a set of hands, you're right on my way home from wor, and not too far away anyhow, what do you use for a rod? I have some light stuff but wasn't sure if there's a special setup or something, also, what do youo recommend for gloves clothing? I'm assumnig something like aquaskins gloves and layers depending on weather prediction, I'd drive but my car might not make it there, Jim has a very economical car if e doesn't mind driving,

[ShipWrecked]

Hey do we need a license??

[freebie]

not sure, better find out though...can't afford any fines this winter, need all my money to buy gear

[niko]

no liscence needed. dress in layers- warm boots. you can hand line for them or use a sensitive ice rod. nothing fancy. if the bite is good you wont get cold.
