that's great news, nice to see, i can remember one winter back in the early 90's at sewell's marina, the anchovies came in so thick it was unbelievable (apparently happens once every 20 yrs or so) we would anchor right off the breakwater mooching and it was dynamite for springs. that may explain why demco had such a good day in the harbor recently. I've never cooked fresh smelts, can you jig them like herring, or is it strictly a net fishery? they should work well in an anchovie special, i've often looked at them in the super market and thought about brining them and trying them. anyone do this?? think Ill try fishing the freighters tomorrow, throw down the crab traps, and take my herring jig along, and a small mesh net. due for a good crab feed at least.
cheers nicnat
