[QUOTE="Rowdie, post: 342349, member: 272"] IF we could get the runs we did in the 80's to 00's I would host a big ole bonfire and welcome all to it to get their fill. You could pretty much hit any decent sandy shore during the hot run week and it was stupid easy for at least a couple hours each night if not most of the night. Now, I can't remember pulling in a good net full. Of course I'm not out every night all night scouting them. There used to be a few old guys that would sit up all night at the docks checking for them. I know that with the population of smelt now, that timing will be everything. I've seen where they wouldn't come in until 3 or 4 am and then it was crazy. I've seen it be very good and the next day you'd think would even be better but it was really off. But yeah, the stories of smelting in HS and college, crazy times. Lots of beer and whisky drinking by the bonfire. [/QUOTE]
