I am from the Rolla Saint John area and there are afew grocery stores and hardware stores around here that carry smelt. I usually use ones that are 4 to 8 inches long i was on the lake yesterday talking to some guys and they where fishing with 4 inch smelt and were having real good luck and there was a few guys using bigger smelt and catching good fish to. :icefish:

Cashwise in Fargo has BIG smelt in meat freezer section.  You can also get it at Gander, Scheels (maybe).  Basically, most grocery stores have some form.  Personally, i prefer the use of Herring for Pike.  You can buy that around Devils Lake.  I'm not sure about where you are.  I prefer 5 - 8 inch dead baits but i'm fishing Devils Lake area where the average Pike is 5 lbs +
