clayman Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Re: SMELT ON !!!!!!! Yep, a large shiner usually not much bigger than 6 or 7 inches long, not much different from alewifes or ciscos. Not only are they good for eating at the local VFW or Jaycee's annual Smelt Fry, but they also make excellent bait for northern pike. I'll freeze some uncleaned and shore fish with them from a couple of my "hot-spots", use a single large hook just behind the dorsal , cast it out and lay it on the bottom with a large bobber, and wait. I've landed some dandy pike with smelt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
