Dont worry, its not white.But the one I am getting is pretty common out there. BTW Dr. Speckler fishes in a white shanty & catches thousands of Smelt every night & loves it when other folks spud him in. He likes loud music & really enjoys folks coming over to visit him while he reels in triples all night long. He even has extra beer to share . Heck of a nice guy
Find at least 65' depth & get as far away from others as you can ,especially if you have a green light. I cannot stress enough how important it is to get away from the crowd. Gull is not a lake where Smelt Cities produce big #s of fish. If you have a rangefinder ,use it & get at least 150 yds. away from anyone else. It amazes me how many guys every night come out & want to set up 50 yds. away, & then wonder why they have low catch #s. Or as we seen tonight, guys come out a 1/2 hr. after dark & set up near someone w/ a green light & fire up a gas auger & punch 15 holes. Very disrespectful. If you are going to come out after dark,keep your distance, & if you dont have your own green light, go buy a good one. Seen 3 parties tonight spud a good friend in. Total disrespect is running rampant on the lake. Pic is Thurs. nights catch. Smelt Jr. & me , 255
Anyone know how much ice at the north end boat launch?
Thanks for the report SB. I just got my parking pass in the mail the other day so I may give it a shot early in the evening. Good to know you don't need to stay out all night just to get some fish. Gotta get up for work the next morning.
Way go go Smeltbuster. What a difference from a couple of years ago eh.
Definitely ! I have made a lot of changes in the way I fish & am racking up decent #s every night. Right now I have 5 trips more than I did last year & 1,500 more fish than last years total. Last night I had 150 Smelt Jr. had 160,Sun. Night was 169 by myself. Last night our 3 man total was 414 fish. Had a newbie w/us that had been out by himself 2 times & had caught 2 fish. Last night he had 104 fishing w/ me ! Also, as I have said before, I give almost all of my fish away. Last night they went home w/ the Newbie. If I do bring them home, I clean & bag them & then give them to folks that cant fish. I am not sharing this info to get a pat on the back for helping others. I am sharing it so people dont think I am way over my possession limit. I get asked about that a lot, like every day. Chances are real good that if you fish w/ me,you will be taking home my catch or at least a good share of it .
Hey Phil,What do you do with all those smelt?
