Off the wall Question

[MikeMunn]

I think I'm going stir crazy waiting for the ice already!  I just had to ask you guys a question that popped in my head.  Anybody ever use a flasher when fishing for Sea Run Smelts?  I've already been looking at tide charts for January!  Poor ice last year and bad timing for me left me without a smelting trip for the first time in years, and now I'm ready to go!  Just curious if it would be worth it to bring the flasher along to Worthings or James Eddy or would the brackish water mess up the transducer?  As the time draws closer, we should get a gang together and go get some smelt!  Mike

i gotta think it will work sweet and be a blast mike...may have to play with it  bit to get the settings right but i will be trying it too

Ive never personally fished for smelt, but an outdoor show had a trip to some smelt waters in michigan. They used a flasher, and it worked quite effectivly. They could see exactly at what depth the fish were.. Looked pretty fun

[Bassbug]

yes it lets you put your bait right in the fish

[wormwiggler]

i always bring mine and we seem to do better than anyone else it really helps to know what depth the fish are at.

I'll be bringing mine to Worthing's, this season!! I hadn't thought of using it, so - a big "thanks" for bringing this up!! What a great idea!
