  1. gander mt has the hooks in fly section or as I say flea section... sz 18 or even 20 are what i find success with most important is the smooth lift when smelto polo bites.. up and out. lets talk about cooking them. my fav.. cut head and sqweeze out guts... dip in egg and crushed pringles.. fry in wesson oil.. tasty little mysterious dish I call.. el smelto polo pringlelicious...
  2. fisherman first off ROCK ON a trick for smeltos is size 18-20 fly hook and pinch a small black splitshot by the eye of hook. tip with ONE maggot and I use a small float. JUST LIFT THE LINE SMOOTHLY IN ONE SMOOTH MOTION WHEN SETTING HOOK. up and out... the unlucky smelt will usually just fall off the hook. when you get good you can use 2 rods and fill a bucket in no time.. haven seen smelt yet but should in a week or 2.. rock on
  3. looking to buy older(cheap) tiller outboard for my 14ft tinner... if anyone has one collecting dust let me know..
  4. thanks for kind word sean. only started icefishing steel 2 weeks ago but seems easy enough. wish I'd done this like 20 years ago niagra river is in my future. was going sunday but my buddy wont go because if something bad happens like falling in or getting stuck down there he might miss the super bowl.. some people

  15. spraypaint? the machine deff. has the time..... chromslay you think they could make one that says "the machine (pic of my face)" on one side and just green dot on the other? maybe not
  16. you know what really bugs the machine? companies that change or discontinue certain color combos for lures and such. first rapala and storm discontinue their most productive patterns and in exchange come out with people attracting patterns. I cant find black edged spin doctors anymore(anybody help) just venting...
  17. vinny, my exp. has been mid day a great time for movement specifically 10am to 2pm. maybe they get hungry or restless but I do see deer moving. I dont hunt deer much anymore but have a first row seat from my couch watching the "back 40". had huge 10 point that made his rounds of my property around 10 am each day... havent seen him for 3 weeks the rut plays a major factor for sure as far as moon playing a roll? of course it does... this world operates by its own you cant see everything with your eyes...
