I found a seafood place near me and called to ask if they had smelt-head on. He said "no, what are you fishing for?" I told him pike. He explained why I can't find smelt with head on. He suggested whiting, his were 7-8 in. and he said sometimes fishers come in for them. Ever use them? When I called, they were to close in 10 min. so I could not visit, when I do, what are some others I should ask if they stock. Went out anyway, and caught 2 pike, 26,29 on dead sucker, and my new mono quick set rigs, might go to flo. might not. Thanks Oh yeah,about froze!
