Title: Smelting Success!
Post by: ICEMAN on February 06, 2010, 02:17:18 PM: I had a half of a day today to get out and decided to hit the smelt early this morning for the opener. Loaded up the rig last night, fueled her up, got everyone to bed early so we could leave Olympia early this morning to arrive in Kelso by 7am. At 7am, everyone started dipping and the four of us had our limits of 10lbs each by 8am. Well, that's how it should have went.

I did not see one single smelt hit a net or bucket, even after checking the water in many many places, before and after a breakfast run.

Tealer,...10lbs, you are the man! Good job, cause we sucked today.
