I remember when I was a kid in the early 70's my neighbors would go on a smelt trip and come back with as many garbage cans as you could fit in the back of a pickup truck totally full of smelt. Everyone in our small town would come and take all they wanted.
Another example of upside down management with the sea lions etc. Control the predators at a reasonable level. Just because they are sea mammals they get a special pass does not make any common sense. For smelt to salmon etc they need a population correction. I for one would love to have a permit to take one.
