Seen a few get caught on the east side lower peninsula around detroit your only aloud two gallons a person.. seen a lot more smelt come out of lake huron ice fishing.. then in the river.. cause they can sit on top of smelt in winter amd pick away at them.. when ever there is ice the smelt slow down when there is no ice the smelt come in thick in the lower peninsula .. so keep that in mind just encase we get a good freeze down in the south east michigan ..
