pike slayer Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 hey, i went out smelt fishing last night at sucker creek in gawas bay on st. joes island. i was there from 11-1am and me and my buddy both got a 5gallon bucket each, they were mostly all males. i got wayyy more then i'll ever want. i talked to a buddy this morning and he said he hammered them at the chippewa last night. So i suggest anyone wanting to get some smelts head north. good luck out there!
crappieperchhunter Posted April 23, 2009 Report Posted April 23, 2009 Good on you for getting into them. They sure are tasty little buggers.
Dara Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 I had heard they started. I guess this weekends it. Getcher pike and laker bait
ctdd2006 Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 slammed em in Algoma Mills' Lauzon Creek on Sunday!
Greencoachdog Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 Does anyone in the "Sue" own a camera???
bigugli Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 Does anyone in the "Sue" own a camera??? Don't know if they want to be risking their cameras while wading in the middle of the night. Too easy to take a bath In past years ( read 1980's) there have been some crazy crowds below the Soo during the smelt run. Glad to hear you can still get a decent haul.
BassAsin Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 gathered up a couple hundred of them last night here in espanola, got 3 gallons (48 doz) in north bay a week ago and heard algoma mills is, well dead now they have pretty well stopped. but trust me pike slayer if your name says anything about the pike you catch you'll go through a pile of them for bait. they work great on the lakers too. and usually wait tilll they quit running to put up a report. hahah good on ya for gettin out Matt!

I dunno... my camera has a neckstrap on it so it doesn't swim unless I do! and a pic of 5 gal of Smelt spilled out on the cleaning table would be impressive too!!! ... always remember!... if it's just words without any pics... it's just a story!!!

pike slayer Posted April 24, 2009 Author Report Posted April 24, 2009 haha bassasin i saved 6 dozen for pike and laker bait! and GCD we have cameras just none of us can figure out how to post pics on here lol well atleast i cant figure it out! i have piles of them, i cant seem to figure out how to resize them probably and post them and photobucket is annoying as hell. we are a humble folk here, we dont show off our trophy fish. if you seen them you'd be on the next flight here with rod and tackle in hand hahaha jk. maybe one of these days i'll post pics!
Guest ThisPlaceSucks Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 a buddy of mine got six last night. i'm not sure if that's because of where he went or how many wobbly pops he drank!
bigugli Posted April 24, 2009 Report Posted April 24, 2009 I dunno... my camera has a neckstrap on it so it doesn't swim unless I do! That's exactly the type of swimmin I'm talking about. I've ruined 4 cameras and a cell in 10 years going "swimming" while wading.

Im sure if they wanted to add pictures they would have. To be honest if you want to see a picture that bad just go fill a bucket full of minnows and dump it on your table and show us a pic Edited April 24, 2009 by Hellfish

Its sad but just the way it is
