NO YOU CAN NOT!  you are not  supposed to target these  fish in any way !  no catch and release  fishing ....... they should  just stock more  or use the money from this   to better the  fishing and access  we have ....again my opinion

I do not believe these fish will ever  be self sufficant ,that's why they disappeared to begin with


I didn't mean it as targeting them cause I doubt anyone even knows what amor where to target then with. But if you happen to hook up with one enjoy it take pictures and release it

Seamonkey84,

Were you around in the 70's when both the smelt and alewives were extremely abundant? I remember seeing fish that looked like they were on steroids.

That said as you probably know alewives aren't the best forage as they can cause a vitamin deficiency in salmonids.

No, born in ‘84 lol. I know that the salmon don’t do well feeding on alewife. The smelt population took a big hit when the alewife got into the lakes.

They do get big:  The Atlantic Sturgeon is a large-bodied, slow-growing and late-maturing anadromous fish, which lives and grows in brackish, salty water, but spawns in fresh water. The largest fish to be captured in the St. Lawrence River (160 kg or 350 lb) was estimated to be about 60 years old.
