Kind of like a goose. Helps to be shit faced.

I'll take any goose off your hands... just got done making my goose sausage and it is very tasty

Tried last night from 9:45 to 10:30, caught a couple that were 4 inches. There was always 1 or 2 minnow sized smelt hanging around but no big numbers yet.

Probably weren't drunk enough.

Called van hook bait today and there are no smelt being netted in that area yet. Lady said they will post on their facebook page when it starts, so might be worth following them if anyone else is interested in this.

Caught roughly 70 tonight in an hour, a couple were a little over 6 inches. The swarms started to come in consistently around 11pm.
