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

Horrible! I wish they would take their truck and teach them a real lesson. That's so blatant and the worst kind of people.

What the heck would you do with that many smelt?  Start some sort of bootleg bait business?
Oh limit?

Glad they were caught. With the state of things these days we're lucky there's even a season at all.

We ate way too many when I was a kid. That said, I wouldn't turn down a properly fried-up plate of fresh smelt. Once; after that...no thanks. Smoked too; a few would be good; buckets full, no thanks.

Didn't dip, but drove Westside hwy home from town and all the wardens looked VERY busy catching people with way over their limits.  I'm in no way racist, but they were all Asian looking.  I saw one guy packing a storage tote into his van that had probably 60+ lbs in it.  Apparently people can read that there is a season, but not well enough to read the 10lb limit.   :dunno:

Was a good day for smelting lots of smelt , stopped and got a little scale at walmart this morning so we didnt get in trouble or overlimit but it was very disappointing watching most everyone around us fill there bags and then send the kids / wifes and whomever to the car to dump them out and then come back empty and refill . I can only imagine how overwhelmed wdfw enforcement is up there .

I'd go again.  Prepped most of mine for sturgeon bait.  Saved a few to fry.
