was a huge plate of Gull Lake smelt. OMG, that was heaven. The gathering was my first time catching smelt but it certainly won't be my last. Next year I'm going to get serious about stocking the freezer with 'em. Insert "rock on" smiley here.

Or you can go out at night and get em in the summer. |

My inlaws have a place o nthe water in AU gres and the way to get them is right about now. Set up a net at shore and take it out about 100 feet and you'll get alot of them. Not sure if it's legal, but I watched a few guys do it a few years ago and clean up. I'd rather catch them thru the ice. |
