Cowlitz smelt definately in
« on: March 08, 2014, 08:38:57 AM »
Half an hour drive to the river, one dip, pour half back, sold my nets, head home, stop for breakfast, all before 8:30.  You got till noon, plenty of time if you live close enough.

That was sure fast. I made two dips and had our five limits, boots off and back in the truck by 6:05

I fished up at Blue Creek today. I couldn't believe how many smelt were pooring along the clay banks. We anchored for a bit and must have seen 10k swim past us. Actually had one get snagged on a plug when we reeled up.

Is the taste of the bait worth the sting of the hook twice?

Hey! I'm not a complete idiot I have parts missing. Though sometimes I wonder.

If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans.
