Use a treble hook, medium sized, and place one hook beneath the dorsal fin area. Make sure you get it thru a thick section, since dead smelt tend to "rip".

Using a tip-up, let the smelt get down to the bottom. then bring it up about 1 foot to 2 feet from the bottom.

Strange as it seems, pike can not resist a dead smelt, probably due to the smell of the smelt.

Good Luck,
Steve
