Smelts from Fort Kent to Milinocket

[Litchfield Fisher]

I'm planning to make a trip south from the frozen north Saturday, looking to pick up smelt between Fort Kent and Milinocket preferably live but frozen will work,  anyone have any suggestions?

What's your destination. I have live, frozen, pickled and jellied in Harrington but I know someone who might be headed that way. Also have a dealer we are supplying with live and frozen in the Bangor area.

Hey Tunk ....I'll be passing thru Bangor tomorrow AM on my way to Chesuncook...Any chance I can get the name of the dealer/ph. # in Bangor for smelts...Any info greatly appreciated...
Thanx

BeadHead (poster above) is grabbing some in the morning on his way to Chesuncook. Perhaps you can talk with him about grabbing some for you and then picking them up from him at Chesuncook. You gotta go right by it on your way to Millinocket.

For someone traveling south to north, Old Town Trading Post (under new management) has some nicely hardened smelts and he packs with oxygen.  Easy on and off of I95. They ain't cheap...but they don't die on the way to the pond either.

That's right.  Forgot about old town. That's an easy chance. I would guess Dags has them also. Indian Hill has them. There's also a physical bait shop in Bangor that I read has them Boons Bait?  I've got live smelts on hand all summer and right through the fall and although I don't sell bait I'd happily give someone a few to fish with free of charge. I'm just kind of out of the way
