I have bought fresh frozen smelt from them before.  What I got were nice size and in real good shape.  If I remember right you have to buy a minimum of 5 lb.  Good luck and let me know how you do.

why don't you be a nice brother and give him some of yours !!!!!!! He is the one that gets the big pike. I see the article that was in Michigan Sportsmen last year about your brother was put it Woods n Water this month. That author runs the same stuff year after year he just switches magazines.

I don't have any, anymore.  I would order more but don't need 5 lb.  I am going to try the frozen smelt that have already been cleaned this year.  I heard it should work.

For that shipping price, I doubt that you'd burn $77.00 in gas these days to get there and back to pick them up yourself... and you could make a few stops along the way back to fish with your new bait.

77 bucks for shipping? OMG    They can have them.  When I bought mine, about 4 years ago, the total didn't come to 25 bucks.  I am going to have to take a look.

Do you fish your smelt on bottom or just off?

[princecraft]

Just off bottom,...............If nothing happens, I will just let it lay on the bottom.  Sometimes that is the ticket.

[serchn4monsterpike]

i fish mine anywhere from 1 to 3 ft off bottom just depends what the pressure is.

I was just at Busch's supermarket in Pinckney and they carry frozen smelt that are dressed.  I think most Busch's locations are in SE Michigan, but they might have expanded to other areas of the state that I am not aware of.
