    Anyone coming up to do some smelting here in a week or so? The smelt aren’t here quite yet, possibly another week or so. Sounds like we will get some nice weather at the end of the week here, and that should be enough to warm the water up to what the smelt like. Was down on park point last night checking things out. From what i heard the netters in the Ashland area are doing okay.

    With all the regulations and restrictions on them now, how many of you who have smelted in the past have said forget it? There is not much of an incentive to do it anymore.

    Grant:

    From what I am hearing the Ashland netters have done pretty well the last four days and the head of the Ashland Chamber posted in LL that the females were getting real soft over the last two.

    I am excited that I get to leave at 3:30 a.m. tomorrow morning for a trip to Bayfield, I am sooooo excited!!!

    Not sure about Duluth, but I reckon our smelt are about done for the year.

    I think we are at the peak right now, or were last weekend. Well see what happens tonight. People haven’t been out due to the east wind the past 2 days.
