years ago we used to catch them by the dozens in 80-100 ft of water over the smelt grounds at Thompson's Point. Fish smelt all day then as it is getting dark cut a couple up and put the heads and guts streaming out on the hooks and down to the bottom. Jig it up and down a few times letting the sinker hit the bottom and they will come.
