Benji 67 Report post Posted March 14, 2016 I've only ever gone at eldorado beach. Witchy neighbor at my uncles camp screamed at us for checking the creek she said we could fish in last year. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bunnyfoofoo 49 Report post Posted March 16, 2016 Really fun with kids, put them in a bucket (fish not kids in bucket) and they play with fish. Throw a few in the net and let them scoop. This year i think they will do good. All depends where you go, and what net you use. Normal net , metal net big small. Fun Fun Ill post picks of the nets i am going to make and store bought.

mooboy76 4 Report post Posted April 4, 2016 Hoping to get out for my second ever smelt run. We missed the heavy runs last year, it took us three hours to net 40. They still tasted great, and the kids loved them! Quote CSSA Member CCFR Member Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bombtrack81 1 Report post Posted April 5, 2016 Looking forward to the smelt run again this year. Pulled out 3 buckets like this last year from McVicar mouth. Went around 10:30PM and people willing to go out a bit deeper were filling buckets within minutes. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I still hate cleaning them because of that. I am happy with a single feed or two of them - because I am still not interested in cleaning buckets/totes/bags of them.
