Smelt

[iceman13166]

I'm going tonight.  They've been running for a week now

Artpark was loaded last night dunno how they did scraped for a little over a limit for two of us at sand docks

We got about 5 doz or more last night.  Private Creek.  They were starting to run heavier around 10:30 but I had to go take care of my old lady after work.  Good luck to those of you who have access to areas to smelt in waters that still have them.  We caught a walleye in the mouth of our area.  He was probably about 6lbs and 28".  Wasn't moving to fast that's for sure, we moved him out of the mouth and the smelt ran better, lol.  Would love to catch him next month on a line.

Hit Lewiston this past Saturday at approximately 11:00pm. Smelt were thin. we had to work for our dips. Left around 2:00am with a half of a five gallon bucket full. It completely shut down at 1:30am. Good size smelt. Nice night, met a few nice guys out there. Thanks for all the tips fellas
